I was still full from O’Malley’s, and just had the spaghetti. It was excellent.

Just spaghetti... and, based on the photos, dessert, too?  I like the way you think!  🤭  (Thank you from another future Sun passenger who's thoroughly enjoying your review!)

Well, there’s always a bit of room for dessert 😜. We usually try each other’s as well. I preferred the chocolate square; my wife preferred the cheesecake.

Keep Posting these GEMS and we'll get you to 100! If the weather's good tomorrow on your Sea Day the more pice you post of the outdoor areas the more comments you'll get... especially looking forward to see how much the area forward of the Dome is used on a Sea Day

Reserve menu tonight. I asked why no filet tonight when it’s always been on the favorites. Waiter seemed surprised it wasn’t there, and said that if I wanted it, I could have it.

A visual check of all 3 sets of menus - all the same starters and pasta,  some tweaks on the mains and princess favorites. i.e.

 

Ribeye Steak Cafe de Paris in Reserve and Signature in place of Grilled Flat Iron Beef Steak in MDR
For Princess Favorites, MDR gets Fettucine Alfredo and Grilled New York Strip Steak as well, Reserve and Signature gets Jumbo Shrimp instead of Shrimp in the MDR and Signature gets an additional Prime Rib on the Carving Trolley

Wow! 800 posts! Biggest Live I’ve ever done. My maiden 7-day on the Majestic only had 323. Wonder if we can hit a thousand…

Let’s get you to 1000!

I’m yet to chime in and tell you how much I’m loving this thread. I must check it a dozen times a day for updates. Would you mind staying on the ship for the next sailing so we can continue the conversation?

@CanadianBurger Whatever it is it looks yummy!!!

 

 

 

[dides]

@CanadianBurger  have you managed to look at what Sun Princess merch they have in the Shops? Appreciate it may not be your thing but we do like to collect fridge magnets and ship models.

Yes, the elusive prime rib trolley that no one on Princess knows anything about! 🤣

Today was Crete (changed from Santorini). 
 

I’ve been in the graphic arts/printing industry for almost 40 years. To find a Museum of Typography on Crete, only a five minute taxi ride from the port, had me more exited than all the ruins we saw. 
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is amazing!! My husband is a pressman and has been working with Heidelberg presses for nearly 40 years!

We can do it!!  This Live is awesome!  We have 3 Sun cruises next year and your report has been so helpful.  Even though there are things that make me go, hmmmmm, we will get onboard very informed!

Thanks for spending your vacation keeping us along with you!

@CanadianBurger Really enjoying the posts. The menus are interesting. By no means am I a food snob but what has been shown in the MDR and the eatery I would go hungry.😀

I'm not into all the fancy foods that the main eating areas are offering. So, most likely Lido Grill, pizza, kids' menu or eating breakfast on deck 8. I might have to pack a bag of pretzels. 😄

And I’ll post 100 times to get @CanadianBurger the posts he needs. Best poster ever. (And not an (belch) “influencer”).

Are you going to pay his cruise fare, plus an airline reschedule fee? 😁

@CanadianBurger, excited to see if there are any fun St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ celebrations on the ship! 

[startedwithamouse]

Do they sell used bags and purses in the shops?

I’d love to! But unfortunately real life calls… 

you’ll have to wait until December for my next Live.

Yes. The display case for "Re-Loved" bags was shown & mentioned a video blog this past week.

Exactly what we do! Plus shot glasses from all the ships and ports. More shop pics in the next post. 
 

[CanadianBurger]

Pics of the shops. The globes were cool, but not $300 cool… there is a used bag shop, plus sunglasses and Pandora in the deck 7 hallway. Lots of Inaugural stuff in the Waves store too.

Today’s Sea Day Patter

 

 

[CanadianBurger]

Beautiful sea day today, about 16C, but really warm with the sun. I’m surprised the wonderful space deck 17 forward at the SeaView bar is so empty. There are also washrooms on the starboard side which is nice.
 

Lots of people in The Dome.

Aww, that's brilliant thank you!  We made the mistake of starting to collect the crystal ship models but they seem to have been phased out now.

[CanadianBurger]

I think they got the signage a bit wrong here. The SeaView bar is behind you when you look this way. The signs should say The Dome.
