Yes, we had Club Class on Discovery Princess last month and it was in the Skagway Dining Room

To be honest, the first 3 voyages seem to be incredibly pricey so start saving now!

For our Pacific Coastal last month, they had an Arts and Crafts Project of the Day session on quite a few days, a cross-stitch session, napkin folding, towel folding and an egg drop challenge

Here are the Sun Princess itineraries SunPrincess.pdf

I believe Alex still owns the cafe up the road from us but is definitely back with Princess as ED on Regal according to his social account.

My other half won't eat lamb at home so it's usually a real treat for me to order this off the menu. Pre-covid there used to be lamb shank which was awesome but now it's just a couple of slices. On Discovery Princess last month, the offering was too fatty for my liking and the radioactive looking mint jelly had little flavour. Not that enjoyable at all.

Yes, we were on the Vancouver-LA Discovery coastal a couple of weeks ago and she had to come into Vancouver around 3am and delay departure until midnight because of the low tides.

These were posted on social media by the Princess UK team, not sure if these were generally available: The Sanctuary and the Solarium on Sun Princess

We got off the Discovery last weekend and, during our last Suite breakfast, I quizzed the staff in Sabatini's about 360. It is an immersive food experience which will be held in the circular room behind the dark double doors in the pic below. Apparently all the menus have now been confirmed and they are planning to hold trials later this month. There is still some tech that needs to be setup however!

And those were the only decks with those cabins so P&O categorised them as the lowest Suite class , promoted them, never let anyone on the ship during the pandemic to get photos and ta-da - the first passengers discovered no-one ever got to look down on the sea!

You will need to be careful which cabana you book I think. We booked a conservatory mini-suite on deck 9 on P&O Iona which is based on the same platform. This was their version of a cabana and we found it overlooked a wide promenade deck plus was completely overlooked from above. We booked without knowing the full surroundings, paying a premium and didn't even get to look down on the sea - wasn't too happy . Felt even more sorry for those who had these mini-suites on deck 8 where passers by could look directly into their balconies! Have a quick look at this attached clip if interested. iona-con-mini.mp4

We don't care though ! It's an interpretation and can be quite comforting! 😄

I know from previous comparisons that what we in pay in UK sterling is always way over what you would be paying in the States so it wouldn't help!

Yep, there was a sharp intake of breath at the quoted price when we called to book a suite on the inaugural this morning. At least we have time to save up! 😂

From the Princess UK press release: Club Class accommodations onboard Sun Princess, and all other Princess ships, will now be called Reserve Collection, which are the best-located mini suite staterooms. Within the Reserve Collection will be Reserve Collection Cabana rooms, resort-style staterooms that offer a balcony and private cabana, an extra-large outdoor lounge space. These premium accommodations also include access to the Reserve Collection Restaurant.

I meant M721 of course - doh!

Our friends Gav and Luke did a video review of M271 on Regal Princess. ...they said they couldn't hear furniture scraping but could hear voices from above if you were standing on your balcony. And had quite a lot of creaking and bumping in rough seas but it is an older ship than Enchanted.

The steward will flip it over and you will have a spring metal support. Watch this stateroom tour video from 2:46 onwards. Hopefully someone else can advise on whether it is narrower than a twin.

Platinum/Elite lounge only. Concierge Lounge is for full suite passengers only.

Woke up this morning for the first time without our Queen and felt a little adrift. Everyone I spoke to in my work calls today was affected by the sad news. My other half and I have sobbed a few times, when they showed the Paddington Bear sketch with the Queen; when King Charles III delivered his first speech tonight. But also laughed listening to memories of people's encounters with her. We will never see her kind again.

Sun Deck 17 forward - there are 6 Vista Suites S109 to S115

Yes, patters from 3 weeks ago are still saying closed 2 to 4 am.

The first two transatlantics on Sky are actually being promoted over here as a no-fly 25 day round trip cruise from Southampton to Canada and New England
