vividharp Posted March 2 #3301 Share Posted March 2 I’m imagining one of those “well behaved children” pressing every single button for every elevator without ever getting one on when no one is around. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now what. 😄 By the way, the “well behaved children” can now press all buttons from the outside, without even entering the elevator. So let's see if the new buttons are a benefit. That’s why I love TA’s and long cruises when the kids are in school. Loved to cruise when the kids were young but now I’m retired and enjoy an adult cruise! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this private deck will not be too crowded. Is available to all Reserve Cabana mini-suites, so 39 cabins assuming port side cabins are only allowed access to the port side deck and starboard cabins to the starboard deck.

Wow! "Premium" soft serve. I'm intrigued. Must come from only the most refined cows! 😄 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spoke with the Director Of Restaurant Operations yesterday. I asked when this venue might open because it looks to be complete (see photo). He couldn’t give a date as they are still waiting for things needed for the actual operation, and some requested changes from those in charge of “the experience”. It is a small intimate venue, but it doesn’t look very impressive considering what the cost will be. Hopefully, the type and quality of the food will make up for it. You do have a wonderful view though. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not just kids, though. Last year on Discovery Princess, so many times I saw adults hit buttons, wait for a minute, then take the stairs. It made the elevators stop on every floor almost every time. They should use medallion proximity to cancel when people walk away. I was on Disney Wish last summer and the elevator experience was sooooo much smoother. Elevator efficiency is a big deal if you move around a lot. That’s really been my only Princess inconvenience so far. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are in the circular banquet behind that huge column!🙃 The color scheme is awful, unless the photo is a bit off. A bit too “bordello”.

People often comment about kids pushing all the elevator buttons. But somehow I have never seen or experienced it. Seems like a bit of an urban myth.

(Not a cabana) I wish those with photos or videos could mention the deck area or cabin number. This is my Category “DB” Deluxe Balcony Stateroom #16417. It is in the sphere.

If they did, it was quiet or it would have driven me crazy. For an adult who isn’t Disney-crazy, there was nothing better about that ship (and it was a new ship) than the Discovery Princess other than the elevator experience. Now my nephews would probably have disagreed! I was disappointed in the food, but probably bc the Discovery Princess’ food was top notch, especially the international dishes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone see a circle on the deck plan not being used yet? That's how we knew where it was on Discovery and Enchanted. Or do we have to make do with 360 being only on Discovery and Enchanted? No 360 experience on the Sun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are staircases connecting Decks 7, 8 and 9 of the Piazza. They are along the outside of the area that is shown in everyone’s photos. There is even an inside version of the “skywalk” that is found on the Royal Class ships. Here is a photo of it 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The menu on deck 6 and 7 of the MDR are the same, and they do change daily. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the breakfast menu in the MDR, has a lot more options than on the other ships in the rest of the fleet. As for deck 8 of the MDR. It is now being referred to in he Princess Patter as the “American Diner”. It is open daily from 10AM to 3PM, and then from 6PM to 10PM. Reservations are NOT available, and walk-in only. 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
