mlmbar Posted June 19, 2023 #451 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Personally I have no desire to go to virgin. Too old for Virgin and want to be able to remain with Princess. All I want is for parents to take responsibility for their kids’ behavior if princess is becoming more family oriented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems that the only 'adult only' pool is at the Sanctuary. Has anybody seen any information that shows that it is for both the regular Sanctuary AND the reserve wake-view reserved area as well? I noticed this as well when looking at Deck Plans recently, when looking for the adults only Retreat area (or its equivilent). Is there any adult-only pool area on this ship that is open to all - not restricted to those booking Sanctuary or booking exclusive cabins? If not, that seems to be a big oversight. As Princess tries to appeal to more families, it might be even more important to provide an adults only area to those who prefer. Even Carnival has this.....

Wishing on a star Posted June 20, 2023 #463 Share Posted June 20, 2023 4Cats, The build-out seems to have quite a ways to go. But, yes, the deck plans do show that there are areas of the ship, in both the front and the aft, where the ship and balconies are slightly recessed. Slightly extended cabins in the center around the sphere, and Forward and Aft. But, these recessed cabins def. not recessed as much as it looks in the current progress in the build-out. It looks like those blocks of cabins that seem to be so far recessed have not been installed yet. I would want to make sure to book one of the balconies on the more extended areas.

Yes. there does seem to be more of recess on the those higher deck balconies forward of the Sphere. I took a closer look at the new rendering that came out last week and it doesn't seem to be that pronounced on that. One new feature seems to be a white canopy overhang over the prom deck aft of the sphere So any higher balconies looking down will see the canopy and maybe some of the cabana deck and purple reserve deck cabana balconies?.

This is open to all. There is a wrap around deck down at the prom deck level but not clear from the deck plan if it's for public use.

I thought that the only outdoor space for "Reserve" class was the Cabana Deck on Deck 9 (which is exclusive to the Reserve Class Cabana Mini Suites).

Wishing on a star Posted June 20, 2023 #471 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) The exclusive Signature Sun Deck is AFT, wake-view, on deck 18. This is where The Sanctuary is, but the Signature area has the prime wake-view real estate. I wish they had a hot tub on both sides of The Sanctuary!

Yes, you are right! I got completely the wrong end for the canopy and the cabanas because the rendering is from a different side. This is the reserve cabana deck on deck 9. Does look a bit overlooked! Edited June 20, 2023 by dides 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reserve cabana deck should be somewhere around there I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
