MsSoCalCruiser Posted April 27 #501 Share Posted April 27 Sorry to change the subject… Wondering if anyone has tried the Crown Grill on the Sun Princess. I’m trying to decide between CG or Catch. How has the steak quality been lately? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They take away the adults pool area and the only other potential quiet pool area is near smoking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattsudds Posted April 27 #505 Share Posted April 27 As the ship steels down, my wuestion is whether the ship is not fully operational. From the things that were closed or unfinished on the maiden voyage, I would welcome updates.

Deck 19 amusements - Is it open yet? the done, including the entertainment - up and running? love by Britto - is this o[en yet? Anyone seen a menu?

I’m trying to decide between CG or Catch. How has the steak quality been lately? We didn’t eat at either on the Sun but the ambiance in Crown Grill is much better. On this ship they stuck Catch at the back of the buffet and people were saying that it felt like eating at a cafeteria. The Crown is more of a real restaurant. Catch was wonderful on the Sky but not interested in it on the Sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, Spellbound is open. Search these threads. I did an extensive walk through of the experience without giving anything away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les_Bill Posted April 28 #509 Share Posted April 28 I couldn’t agree more with Crown vs. Catch. You really are sitting in the back of the buffet at the Catch and the menu is about 60% of other ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than a decade ago we had our first cruise on the Sapphire Princess that has a similar setup for the Sterling Steakhouse. The food was very good but on subsequent cruises on the Sapphire - which is one of our favorite ships - we've never even considered eating there again because there was absolutely no ambiance. In fact it had negative ambiance. I'm dumbfounded that Princess is making the same mistake with the new Sun class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian441672 Posted April 28 #512 Share Posted April 28 I was booked on the inaugural Star next July in a Penthouse suite with all the Signature perks. This has been cancelled and new sailings are being launched next week. As I understand it now if/when I re-book, I lose out on the suite only Sanctuary area and now the suite only Signature restaurant, as almost any cabin who pays the 'Sanctuary' premium will get access to all these (subject to a maximum number of cabins perhaps)? In fact all that is 'exclusive' now is the lounge? That's a shame as I like the exclusivity of a suite and that is why I pay extra for it. They had better expand on the dining room size! (ex-Signature and Reserve - perhaps they will merge into one). Just as I thought I would move away from X and their Retreat offering (which really was nice and exclusive for dining and lounge and butler), I am thinking of going back already! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
