KLM3164

Let’s try this again. Interesting notification from Princess this morning on the Sanctuary Collection on the Sun and Star Princess. Looking forward to hearing more about this as well as the cost of upgrading our mini-suite cabin. https://www.princess.com/en-us/ships-and-experience/onboard-experience/sanctuary-collection?cid=mkt_vanityurl_vanityurl_sanctuary_sanctuarycollection_mixed_na_na_na

Thanks for posting your website. I look forward to reading your updates and also seeing what you think about the aft cabin on deck 10.

Can’t wait to experience it in November!!!

Bet you are glad to see her make it into the harbor.

@Sox Fan Cruiser I hope you’ll come back and do a review on Spellbound.

Well isn’t that an interesting piece of information. Princess Cruises = consistently inconsistent!

Someone on the Princess boards posted a photo of your ship in port today from their hotel window.

That’s the great thing about CC is getting notified when things open up or are changed. Congratulations on getting a reservation for Spellbound! We have it booked in November as we were able to book a few weeks ago when they opened reservations for a short window of time. We also got our reservation because of other people posting on CC.

My wish list is short……no smoking anywhere indoors on the ships! Move all smoking to designated areas that are outside on the open decks. We just went on our first Celebrity cruise and booked another before we got off the ship. We love that their ships only allow smoking outside. If Princess continues to allow smoking in their casinos, which of course then permeates the air outside the casino, I can see our dollars and loyalty moving over to Celebrity.

We are new to X having just done our first in February. Looking forward to following along on your fabulous trip! You have quite a following. Wishing you a safe and fun-filled journey!!!

@Sox Fan Cruiser Have a great trip!

Thank you for your kind wish! You are correct. We don’t mind dressing up. DH is happy to wear a Sports Jacket or Blazer on the plane as he’s always cold so it keeps him warm…win, win. He also doesn’t mind wearing a jacket on the ship as again it’s usually cold for him. Plus he has a great, tasteful, Beatles tie he loves to wear on the cruise and it always sparks conversations with people around us. We will be on the ship for 2 weeks so we will have other opportunities to wear our dress up clothes, and we enjoy it since we rarely do it at home anymore. While this experience won’t be for everyone it is perfect for us and our friends.

I agree! I’m still very excited about Spellbound as I don’t really care about the dinner. I’d be fine with a burger and fries. For me this experience is about the drinks, the Magic Castle inspired rooms and the close up magic. I’m hoping between our party of 4 we will try all 12 drinks (sharing of course, no judgement please). I think they look amazing! I will most likely never be invited to the Magic Castle and as someone who has been fascinated by it since childhood I can’t wait to have a similar experience!!!

I’m sure going to miss this place when we go back to Maui next year. It was always so much fun!
