I’m “beyond” thrilled that Captain Kate and Bug will be on my April 22 sailing 🚢😊

Just now the Princess website has removed the Signature benefits for 16604 etc.  I contacted everyone at Princess I could think of to make them aware of this matter

 

I am completely disappointed in several aspects of the SUN and am not considering this ship anymore.

We decided to cancel our cruise on the Sun Princess.  Just too many things we either don’t like how they are set up or just underwhelmed with the ship in general.

Guess it is up to you to report back.

Also, surprised that there hasn’t been a Live on here.

I follow a few regular cruisers on fb and there are great posts coming from them.

Well honestly, I think that Princess is in such a mess in general that the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing. However, I do wish that someone would post about this category.

I think that the Sanctuary is a huge disappointment, no shade and cheap loungers. If category D0 doesn’t have Signature benefits as shown on Princess website deck plans I might well cancel my cruise

The only feedback I have so far, is a fb friend  has D0-aft-17603 in March and reserved in Signature restaurant. Her family have premium deluxe balconies midship and cannot book in Signature restaurant. Her cabin was priced higher then her family’s midship.

Well, that’s excellent news in general.  Having that dining room and Signature area of the Sanctuary are both important factors to me in booking this category.  
Now if only the person on the current sailing would give us some more information soon, that would be wonderful

Looking for information about Signature Benefits for the D0- aft category?

I do like the cabin and am pleased to have loungers on the balcony

As am I🚢

So am I and I can’t wait for the September crossing

Do you have one of the aft- D0 cabins?  They were more $$$ money then the other D0 locations and said includes Signature upgrades and Benefits..

Mine has Reserve Collection each day in the Dine My Way section

Yes, I’m on deck 16 aft.  Booked about 2 weeks ago.

In the app I am showing Reserve Collection dining for my D0- aft cabin. So that must be one of the upgrades/benefits mentioned in an earlier post in this thread.

I just downloaded the new app, and while it has my cabin and category correct being D0 it does not say anything about the Reserve dining room in the app or personalizer

Let us know what you find out about the D0 category aft.

 

i have Oct 14/24 booked in a S9 signature suite aft  & Oct 19/24 booked in a D0 premium deluxe balcony. Aft.

 

 

Wil do.  Seeing as they only have a handful of this cabin category available, it presents a relative bargain to gain the benefits of Signature Class

On another site it's been pointed out that a new category of Premium Deluxe Balcony D0 has just been created which now falls under the Signature collection. These are the aft based ones only- the deck plan indicates they get Signature benefits but it doesn't mention this when you click to reserve a particular stateroom under special notes and the pricing hasn't yet changed. Can anyone confirm? This will be a nice surprise for anyone already booked! 

 

 

 

 

I too noticed this cabin category and that it included the Signature benefits and booked the last on open for the September transatlantic crossing. 
Like you I don’t understand why the written confirmation doesn’t list this benefit.  I called Princess and the person in reservations had to check with someone about the Sanctuary being included.  Didn’t say anything about the separate dining room.  I don’t think that Princess has trained or advised res staff of some of the unique aspects of this ship

Is it possible to book a day pass for the retreat for sea days only?  I’d like to do this during embarkation. 
 

Also, I have an 11:00 am boarding time in Malta.  Does P&O allow us to drop off our carry on luggage in the cabin even if the cabin is not yet ready? We want to get back off the ship and explore more of Malta since we don’t sail until late

Thank you for the reply’s .  We will be gone for 17 days total land and cruise. In my opinion no reason that P&O, nor any cruise line should not provide that.  I know in some hotels it’s the norm, but it comes off as cheap

I’ve been reading some reports that P&O are no longer providing wash cloths (face flannels) in the cabins?  I find this odd on a ship. Sailing on Azura in April.  

Anyone back recently that can answer this question? 
Thanks!

In the Caribbean,  certainly yes!  I cruise for the ship not the ports. In Europe that's a different story 

Number 3 is the French Line ship Liberte.  A former German liner of the 30's . She was war reparation for the loss of Normandie

Hi Ernie

Thank you for the great photos.  I too am hoping to board in mid January 2021.  I've really missed cruising and your reviews this year. 

Rick

What about Norwegian Sun October 24, 2020?

Thank you! I watched this yesterday as I will be back on Queen Elizabeth in July.   Your video is excellent

Bo , while I very much enjoy your posts and insights,  I must take issue with your comment regarding Cunard.   I don't know if you have sailed with Cunard but I have since the 80's .  I like both Cunard and Celebrity but Cunard is no different than Celebrity in how the Grills are treated as compared to Suite Class on Celebrity.   Both have separate dining rooms and a lounge.   90% of ship is for everybody.    

My best cruises have been on Cunard voyages and not in a suite.

I   just got off on Sunday.  She looks brand nre in most areas. Beautiful ship, great crew , food and service.

I'm booked on the tranatlantic sailing and sure hope our port times are not altered.   However, things like this happen.  Hope Princess provides more information in a timely way

Im sailing in January in 5186 and I too would like some more details as to the nature of the flooding and exact cabins involved

Oh, i'm so sorry that Bob has passed away.  We too so enjoyed you both.  

Are you still in Ocala?

What have youbeen sailing on recently?  We just did Koningsdam for a Greece, Italy Turkey cruise.  It was wonderful.  Do you still have my email?  We need to catch up!

Hey  ZoeyVictoria

We were your tablemates on the first Empress cruise back in 16.   I was just thinking sbout you both and eould love to see you again.  Sailing on Serenade eith friends inJanuary.
