Yeah. I can’t do anything on the app right now. The dial just keeps spinning and spinning.  My husband too. I’ll book as soon as it lets me!

I’ve got the spinning wheel of death too!

Finally was able to book for our cruise in November. I’m so excited!!! @Sox Fan Cruiser @CatMom72 Thank you for posting about reservations being open.

If there are no self serve beverages at the Eatery on Sun Princess, where does one get regular coffee outside of the hours when the Eatery is open? is coffee that is included in the cruise price (not fancy coffee) available at International Cafe?

It’s supposed to be 5, 7 and 9pm. That’s why I don’t think your reservation is valid.

I've read & seen photo's that there is now a coffee and lemonade station set up for self service. I still don't know if it's available at 4 AM.

It's hard to believe that they didn't take that into account when they designed the buffet layout.

We are on the Sun now. You can self serve coffee.

Does anyone have photos of an S9 Suite on the Sun Princess they can post?

[Globaler]

Anyone report on noise in cabins around the sphere given the entertainment in the piazza? I’m in cabin 10358 upcoming.

Only seen these which were posted for you on the original Sun Princess thread.  I believe an S9 is the same as a mini suite but with Signature benefits including a coffee machine. Until we see an actual S9 video, this video of a reserve mini suite should give you a good idea.

There were only three options listed, but they were 5, 6:30, and 8.  According to the app, under “upcoming reservations,” five of us are going.  Everyone in our party sees the same thing on their own phone.  So I will be pretty steamed if Princess tells us this reservation isn’t valid.  Not that it would shock me…

I saw it last night in my list of dining options but today Spellbound has disappeared.

I hope someone reports on the noise level for the rooms around the sphere too.  Hopefully, no news is good news!

I saw it last night too but the times were all in 20 minute increments, which I know wasn't right. Today Spellbound is not showing on my app. I sail on March 29.

It's disappeared from our September cruise too. Another fine mess!

They're had noise problems on all their Royal class ships near the Piazza since the first ship sailed. What makes you think this will be much different?

We are booked on the Sun for the August 10th 21-day Best of The Mediterranean . I have been trying to make dining reservations for months and there is nothing available. I thought there was a problem with my reservation so I have contacted Princess and was told that I can't make any reservations until I make final payment.

 

Strange thing is that I have another booking on Sapphire over a year away and I can make my dining reservations.

 

Anyone heard of a different policy for dining reservations on Sun?

Nothing different except you can pay in full and still not book. not sure what the issue is but I have been paid in full since middle of last year (casino offers require payment in full). I called and they said keep checking - BTW I cruise 6/8.

It’s been posted on another thread that dining reservations on the Sun are only available for cruises through 5/31. They should extend this date shortly so you just need to keep checking.

So paying in full meant nothing cause everyone has paid in full now for sailings inside 90 days!

Thanks for the information.

I am booked on the May 11 sailing for 14 days and I was able to book the Spellbound for 6:30. Was a challenge with the slowness on the app. Warning, make sure you choose the right date as I messed up and then cancelled one. However now I don’t have the credit on my credit card. Did the chat but they don’t see the extra charge so hoping it comes through tomorrow.  Very excited about our trip and trying the ocean view on this ship as Royal class didn’t have that category.

We always book rooms deck 8 mid ship on the bump out on the Royal class ship and have not had problems.  So “what makes me think this will be much different”?  I never had a problem with it on deck 8 mid ship on the bump out.  That’s why.  But thanks for your input…
