Sox Fan Cruiser

I agree. It feels more like home on Princess but they do have their problems. Celebrity is just a better product. Although…. I just got off the Sun Princess today in their version of The Retreat and they have definitely stepped it up a notch. Service throughout the Sun was much better than other ships and their suite service almost was equal to Celebrity. Almost. Much better than in the past.

We just got off the Sun Princess today and there is no activity in there yet. Our cabin was right outside. Still just a bunch of tables with table clothes on them.

Me too! I was a little worried that the first few nights were too calm.

So talking to people this morning, I guess it was really rough last night. They said we were rolling a lot. But I slept right through it.

Now that the cruise is over ☹️ I will say that there was movement throughout the cruise. Whenever we came into port there was A LOT of shaking as the thrusters kicked in to help the azipods. But there was also some movement at night as the speed increased. Just a little port to starboard shaking but we love feeling the ship move so it didn’t bother us. With the beds facing either aft or forward it was actually a comforting movement like rocking a baby’s cradle. Nothing too bad.

I don’t necessarily disagree with you @JimmyVWine just correcting the comment about it being weather related. I don’t think all executives are evil money hungry devils. There are reasons for the change in port, they just aren’t sharing them.

Teaser #3: For Santorini yesterday, they had us all meet in the lounge at 7am. Yes 7am on vacation! When the tender operation started, they escorted us all down and put us on the first tender. We were the first people up the cable cars with very little waiting. Our private tour was at 10 so this gave us time to walk around the town as it was opening as well as stop and have some coffee and Baklava for breakfast! Did I groin about having to get up so early. Sure did! But I was glad overall. They are really treating us like kings and queens on this ship.

But the problem with your argument is that they cancelled the port before we even got on the ship. A full five days before we were supposed to dock there. Are you telling me that they knew the weather conditions five days a head of time and made the call to not go there? It’s the same with some Santoríni cancellations. There are too many ships in port and the cable car will be an absolute mess. We were the only ship in port yesterday and we walked down instead of standing there for 90 minutes.

To be honest we have not made it to the suite breakfast even one day yet! 🤪. We will try on the last sea day tomorrow! But yes, it’s in the Signature restaurant. We know that much!

From what I can tell peaking over at my neighbor. 🤣 I actually really love the love seat. It has a foot rest so we can both “recline” comfortably.

Sorry, didn’t even know cruise ships HAVE a gym. 🤪

We eat at 8pm and it’s pretty empty. We (2 people) sat at a 4 top at the window one night. But it was dark out so didn’t matter. I bet you can talk the maitre d’ and get the same table every night if you come at the same time. But I’m not 100% sure. They don’t take reservations. I’ve notice that the Reserve Collection restaurant isn’t big enough for all there guests as there are people frequently at the Wheelhouse waiting for their table. But we have always walked into the Signature Restaurant and been sat right away. But again, we aren’t there until after 8.

On the current Sun Princess sailing. We went to Bar on the 11th. We stayed on the ship.

There are shows in the Arena now and there will be the “pirate show” some night which is the big production event. We don’t go to shows so can’t comment on them. We have been invited to “Blue” the cirque show in the Dome on the last two nights of our cruise as a “dress rehearsal” so my guess is they will be ready for your cruise.

And I will say… BEST SERVICE ON ANY CRUISE ON ANY PRINCESS SHIP WE HAVE EVER HAD.
