Will defer to anyone on now. I can check myself when we go on June 1 on Sky

Yoga Six, Pure Barre, Pilates, Stretch lab and a Spin class - used to have TRX but no more. Classes in the mornings (I've seen them be 7am, 8am, 9am - 30 min each, some ships later 8am, 9am, 10am, depends on Port/Sea days.) Then again in the afternoon (usually 4pm, 5pm, 6pm) and they mix up the classes and timing. Unlimited for premier. Go to the fitness center and you can sign up for all the classes you want for the entire cruise (usually)

Enjoying your 'live' - thank you for doing this. We are on Enchanted in Sept and also doing W. Carribean in Jan, so appreciate the information (Cabana Beach House, check!). My husband is vegan and I am like you - mostly vegetarian and occasional pescatarian. I am pleased to see all your meal options. Are they as good as they look?

We are sailing on Island Princess in 2025. For those of you who are on Island, or are familiar with her (since last refurbish) I have the following questions 1) Looks like the fitness center is all inside (no windows) and very small. Do they still offer the fitness classes that come with Premier Package (is there space for them?) 2) I notice several midship Reserve Mini class suites available on Dolphin Deck, and very few on Caribe or Baja. Any advantages/disadvantages over one or the other? I know it's a drawing, but balcony seems bigger on Dolphin - why are there so many not taken? TIA

Sorry, I cannot recall if this is already on your list - I noticed the description for an S9 Suite now says it includes access to Lotus Spa Thermal Suite. I don't recall seeing that before. Is it true? -

VERY CURIOUS to hear reports about that when Park 19 is fully open! That would be a truly epic fail. -

Since it seems the Sanctuary is the only Adults Only space on Sun, I don't expect that to change. I agree when booking it should be made clear that the space is for 16+ when booking families. There also seems to be plenty of other space throughout the ship for families, and kids. It is not unreasonable for kids to want to be with other kids in the clubs, and parents can have some alone, adult time. There are many other Suite perks (like concierge lounge, Signature restaurant,) that all family members can still enjoy. -

We too like to 'report in' to the dining room, get our spot, our help, our dietary preferences.. Free specialty restaurant though -- and so many to choose from on Sun -- My plan is to still report in to Signature Dining room earlier in the day - introduce ourselves, let them know what time we expect to be there most days, etc . Will also be sure to have breakfast there..- and then still take advantage of the included Specialty Restaurant so as not to lose the perk - just some food for thought (lol), Looking forward to hearing all about it when you return - thanks for doing this and enjoy your trip! -
I've done Pilates for years, and my husband, never. We both enjoyed the Pilates classes very much and as we had the Premier package, we did them (and other) gym classes each day. If you are experienced, you know how to make it more challenging, and as mentioned above, there are modifications for beginners too. We also had some bumpy sea days for extra challenge (and laughs)

Does anyone know when Europe/Mediterranean for 2026 may come out?

I noticed this as well - one Vegan main dish. I am optimistic that the vegetarian dishes can be prepared vegan, especially if ordered in advance. My husband is vegan and we typically have to choose his food day before. Seems the Vegan menu will give more options. Also noticed addition of vegan cheeses, plant based burgers. It's come a very long way from our first cruise when he had to bring many cans of beans on board to feed himself - lol.

I suspect you will find many higher end brands fall within the premier limit - and are some of the highest available brands on the ship. Of course there are bottles of wine, champagne, etc that will be above what comes with the package, but you will be charged the difference of what your package covers ($20 for premier) and the cost of the higher brand + 18% of that price difference. I think you will be pleasantly surprised by what the premier will include.
