Screenshots for our Sun cruises in March & September 2025.

We can do it!! This Live is awesome! We have 3 Sun cruises next year and your report has been so helpful. Even though there are things that make me go, hmmmmm, we will get onboard very informed! Thanks for spending your vacation keeping us along with you!

Yay! Coke Zero!

Looks like the Eatery buffet is closed between 2:30 - 5:00 p.m.?

Cabin 12623 is a regular mini suite described on deck plans as “sofa by entrance” Seems they alternate

Thanks for checking! Looks like my packing will include a decent mug 🥴

We are immensely enjoying your trip! Thanks for taking us along! Quick question - I usually bring along a large ceramic mug because I just can’t drink my hot tea from a plastic mug. On the Sky last year, the buffet had switched to ceramic mugs and on the Island last year, I was able to snag one from the coffee bar in the buffet. Are ceramic mugs available in the buffet? Thanks so much! Smooth sailing!

Looks like a basic grilled cheese and ham 😟

Don’t get too excited about the “Monte Cristo” Photo credit to @Bimmer09 - this is his Monte Cristo on the Ruby earlier this year. Doesn’t look quite right!

The only consistency with Princess is the inconsistency 🥴

Thanks! It’s the beverage of choice for my diabetic hubby.

@Ken the cruiser - what a fabulous trip report!! This is on our bucket list! We will be onboard the Sapphire Princess in April/May for a 32-day cruise and cannot wait!! If it’s not too much trouble, can you check to see if Coke Zero is available? Thanks so much!

We have always traveled with Meclizine just in case but rarely use it. On our last cruises - Baltics and Iceland, I also took a Relief Band and was so glad I did! Some rough waters in the North Sea made me glad I had it! Where are you cruising? We’ve always had smooth sailing in the Caribbean if that’s where you are headed. Enjoy your cruise! 🛳️🛟⚓️🚢

Holds are gone online. When talking to my PVP, apparently they are allowed to place a hold but only until end of business day. Sounds like that option might be going away for them too.

@Bimmer09 That is the worst looking Monte Cristo sandwich I have ever seen!

Typically, your Medallion will be used on both legs of a B2B. Since your status will change for the second cruise, I suggest touching base with the Loyalty/Events officer during the first cruise to be sure you get your perks! The Passenger Services Desk should be able to change your Medallions. Some say it’s a matter of putting an Elite sticker over the Platinum one.

You got your @memoak back!! 👏👏👏

You can definitely order “off menu” - my husband is a big fan of the James Beard French Toast and Eggs Benedict are also available any time. You can also order an omelette with any ingredients similar to the buffet.

Thanks for the info! We sail round trip LA-Hawaii-South Pacific and our cabin is on Deck 10. Good to know there are more machines on Deck 9.

Bob - hope you and Holli are home safe and feeling better! Thanks again for the Live!

We prefer to eat larger meals earlier in the day. Then, we eat lighter at dinner time. It’s great we all have options!

Thanks for the response! Guess we will be BYO!

I don’t remember the entire menu because I always have: Avocado Bay Shrimp starter Salmon entree Soufflé for dessert My husband enjoys the Beef Medallions I’m sure many more will chime in! MDR embarkation lunch is my “We are cruising again!” moment!

@Woobstr112G - we have so enjoyed your Live from the Sapphire! We will be boarding in April for a 32-day RT LA to Hawaii and the South Pacific. Our first time for the Sapphire and we can’t wait! If it’s not a bother, can you check to see if Coke Zero is available? Some cruisers are reporting mixed results depending on the ship. We usually bring some for DH when we board and replenish at ports. Since our 32 days include 22 Sea Days, finding Coke Zero in port might be a challenge 😁 Enjoy the rest of your cruise and all the best to you and Holli! ⚓️🛳️🛟🚢🪝

My tradition as well!
