Looks like you will be on a Royal Class ship like Majestic Princess or Discovery Princess. Yes, it is the former Club Class. All the perks are described on the Princess site here You will get access to a special area of the Main Dining Room reserved for this class, the main benefit being you can just walk up and get a table (it's only the new ships being built now - Sun Princess and Star Princess - that will have a separate dining room)

Yes, on the deck plan:

Note that Crab Shack doesn't come under fall under the Casual Dining options - it's Speciality

We're on the Feb 8 inaugural and cannot book our Dining on the app yet (we are Elite too). Princess still need to confirm all the speciality dining options so may have to wait on that deck 17 aft restaurant announcement . Our 90 day final payment date is up next Friday (Nov 10) so all very exciting!

Yes, Salty Dog Gastropub and Vines - here is a link to the Casual Dining thread with menus

Cruisemapper now says sea trials

Sun Princess will have 4,300 passengers. 17% increase based on the last Royal class ships but much more space for them.

Some long shots posted by Micky Arison from the shipyard:

This is the O'Malley's casual dining menu - fixed price option of $14.99 or a la carte pricing O Malleys.pdf

There is an existing thread which lists all the Casual Dining venues and menus for each ship. Discovery has Gigi's pizzeria, Ocean Terrace sushi and the Salty Dog Gastropub.

Here's a link to the latest list of Casual Dining venues and menus - Regal has Alfredo's, Ocean Terrace and Vines

Some tidbits from IG: the Casino is completely new and Skywalkers has new carpets and furniture:

I've tried to collate a list of Juice Bar locations across the fleet - do provide any corrections

The location will depend on the ship - on Sky and Discovery it's in the Pastry Shop, on Sapphire/Diamond it's Swirls, on Caribbean it's the Lido Deck Bar, on Emerald it's the Calypso Bar. I've seen opening times mentioned of 7am to 2pm but this may vary e.g. midday closure on port days.

This is the juice bar menu that has been shared:

Spotted this posted on another site - this is the stateroom flyer for 360 on Discovery Princess.. Noticed it says there is a minimum age limit of thirteen.

A couple of pics from a shipyard visit posted by Carnival Chairman Micky Arison. A lot more balcony and door glass in place now!

@Steelers36 tagged me to include the link to the latest Casual Dining Venues post although the SushI question has been answered above Here you can see Crown has the Salty Dog Gastropub and Vines venues with menus etc.

Yes remember the "supply chain" issues impact of Covid (she was being fitted out in 2020) so perhaps they did exactly that and either have gradually upgraded them or let them get broken in.

I recall someone reporting Discovery having really hard beds when it first launched in March 2021 - here's one of the threads. We didn't have any problems this time last year. Maybe it depends on the cabin and how well it's been broken in.

No worries - just trying to grab all the menus for our master list! Will be interesting to see if the other ships follow the same approach as Sky for Ocean Terrace.

So is there an updated a la carte menu for the evenings which excludes the old set menu breakdown?

Interesting article by Forbes which suggests Spellbound on Sun Princess could use MedallionClass to deliver some of it's trickery: It's easy to see how the the MedallionClass system could be used to create spellbinding effects in a magic show. There will be no need for mind-reading tricks to guess guests' names and likes or dislikes. A source close to Princess reveals that the system "will indeed be used to optimize the personalization of the experience but we're not able to go into detail. Would hate to ruin the surprise."
