Sox Fan Cruiser

Thanks. Didn’t know I could bypass the FB log in.

Any way for someone to post these as I’m not on FB.

Sadly, all I see is an avalanche of chair hogs rising early to put their stuff there for the day. I hope they enforce rules.

I did not see one in the real video of the cabins and the same design they built for another cruise line did not have it. There is a video of some famous cruise vloggers who stayed in that cabin and complained about it.

I too didn't think we needed reservations for the suite restaurant. You don’t for “club class”.

I don’t think there is a “door” on your “balcony” that you can open and walk onto the cabana deck. You have to walk out your cabin door, down the hall and come out onto the deck. I did not see one in image.

Dont worry. Just follow this thread. As soon as we can book specialty restaurants or the dinning room, we will let this board know! 🤪 I’m on the April 8th sailing and I’ll post immediately after it takes my specialty reservation. We are in a suite so I can’t comment on the Main Dining Room.

I agree. What you are describing is very normal for cruising, not just Princess. Doesn't sound like cruising is for you.

No one has been in the Sun Princess yet so no way to compare. Sailings start this weekend. I can give you my thoughts on the ship by the middle of April. I’m sure there will be tons of posts on the Princess board starting next week since Princess has does nothing to promote this ship.

I’ll let you know after my cruise in April. I have one on deck 17. I don’t expect a lot of people using them. I’m concerned most about secret smokers but hopefully it goes out to sea.

The original deck plans made it seem like only deck 17 had an aft view on the balcony. Now it looks like all decks have the same little space to view the wake. Still horrified that Princess wasted the aft view on a stair case.

I wish I could see his aft! 🤪

I should have known better!

Thanks for disputing. I shouldn’t have even posted without my own research.

Sorry not on FB.

My husband said that he saw on FB that they did the handoff today and people on the 18th cruise got a confirmation that their cruise is on! I am NOT verifying that information, just passing it on. I would love for someone to confirm. I can’t wait to start seeing pictures from passengers!!

I think what you are saying is that a British Isles cruise is all about small villages and dramatic scenery. I get it. And I am looking forward to that part and will get it with this cruise. But was just trying to figure which itinerary to do as there are so many different ones with different ports. Didn’t mean to offend. (and by “small villages” I meant some of the ones in Iceland and such with 10 buildings, not something like Cobh.)

Thanks for the feedback! (Budget isn’t an issue. Life is about experiences while you are here)

Wow! Life suddenly got busy and I didn't have time to come back here. Here are some things to give you an idea of the type of cruisers we are. For a cruise like this, we are going to learn as much about the history and culture of the area as well as scenic beauty. We never do cruise sponsored tours but hire private tour guides in every port. We like to stay away the overly touristy spots but will do the "must sees" that an area is known for. We prefer to have lunch in a place where the locals eat. But we don't like tours to be 8 hours long so things that are a long drive from the port aren't of interest to us. Small villages aren't really our interest either. We appreciate natural beauty but want something more than just that. I guess my original question was more about if this is are only British Isles cruise ever, what are the places we should go to get the most experience of this area of the world. I appreciate any and all answers!!

Can you show me where they have officially stated that they are sailing on the 18th?

WOW! I can't believe I asked it that way as I would have also responded if some else posted it with "tell me what interests you". 🙂 Off to work but I will follow up when I get a chance. Also I will check out John Bull's post.

I know this is personal preference and sort of a vague question. But what are the must do ports on this type of cruise. There are different options and I am a little overwhelmed.

More room for me!

Thanks! Crossing my fingers you are a go!
