Rare JimmyVWine Posted February 29 #2976 Share Posted February 29 8 hours ago, HokieTT said: A $120 credit seems low for no Arena theater shows. I wonder if it’ll be ready for March 9. People who paid for the Premier Package should $0.90 mores since according to the itemized details of their package they paid $0.09 per day for Reserved Seating in the theater. 4 hours ago, StevenW said: No lift instructions. How many people will enter lifts, and then have to get back out again. Day1 of each sailing could be a little chaotic around the lifts. Thankfully the number of lifts has increased with this new ship. Are there really that many people who have never seen this system before? There's a very good chance that the hotel they stayed in the night before the cruise had the same system. Can't remember the last time that I was in a Westin or a W that didn't have this system, and it's been this way for over a decade. 2 hours ago, cltnccruisers said: Looks terribly cramped.

Might want to verify that if that's important to you. That makes sense since they said he'd be doing a presentation and I didn't think he could be on every cruise. That's fine. It's more the overall experience of spending mother/daughter time together and if it's a proper English tea (the free one on the Sky Princess last year didn't feel like one), it's worth it for us.

I guess I’ll order a premium dessert, eat one cone’s worth of the soft ice cream, and throw the rest away. When we were Plus last year on Enchanted, none of the Premium desserts appealed to us. I mentioned that I just wanted gelato, and the woman at the counter said I can have two free gelatos in place of the premium desserts/day, if I wanted.

For those complaining about privacy on their balconies, do you really believe that you have privacy on your balcony??? LOL! Anyway, unless you give me a reason to look at your balcony, my eyes will be focused on the ocean. (And please, don't give me a reason to look at you on your balcony... I'm probably trying to eat breakfast!!!) 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vividharp Posted February 29 #2982 Share Posted February 29 We use our balcony mostly in the morning and in the late afternoons/night. So if you see me, wave! I’ll wave back. 😂 I’ll most likely be wrapped in a blanket. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely one of the sphere balconies. If you look at the video and pause it around the 5-6 second mark you can see into the sphere balconies (full screen is best). I have one of these on the Sun but trying to change the one I have booked for the Star. I don't spend that much time in my cabin, but it is different for sure. Won't be a game changer for me on the Sun. Just make the best of it. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone confirm if this is correct or not? This is one of my biggest concerns for sure. Looks to be about one third of the space that we have been used to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted February 29 #2994 Share Posted February 29 Thank you dudes!! I saw this earlier when I saw a new video was posted. I was going to maybe post this link as an... ON THE OTHER END OF THE SPECTRUM.... This shows the very shallow Royal Class balconies that you get on a bump-out section of the ship. Small!!! I thought about booking a DB on an inset section, with the larger balconies, but they seem like about half a mile inset from the water! NOTE TO SELF... Next time when I am not totally sure which cabin to book, put a deposit down on TWO, so that we have the option for either one, when we know for sure. We booked when rates were lower, so no way we are going to cancel are rebook now to get a Premium Deluxe Balcony. The price difference at today's fares is just too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted February 29 #2995 Share Posted February 29 I have always loved the big walk in closet on Princess!!! We will make this small closet with doors work... But totally and completely unpacking and then repacking, to put all luggage away, is not something that I look forward too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted February 29 #2997 Share Posted February 29 (edited) It is the 'prison yard' decor and basic minimalistic 'open deck' in the Sanctuary that is most disappointing!!!! The welcoming character of the Piazza seems to be gone, as well???? Princess started this with elements on their ships on ships built after Regal. I am not one to complain about all 'change'... or a 'larger ship'... But, Princess seems to be losing the character that, to me, PCL has been known for. Where are ANY welcoming areas with any 'decor' or actual comfortable seating??? We will see as more guest actually experience the new ship.
