Is this the one that takes 25c coins? Much of the actual layout of the rest of the public areas doesn't look much changed but the décor is much better than of old. Yeap … and yes lol… it’s like the Pearl but me newer looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in November and it was virtually empty, with temps in the 70s. I could not have done this in the summer. The elevator has to be reserved at least what I was told now during the peak season… yes it was extremely HOT but well worth the climb up to take in the view 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare FionaMG Posted August 1, 2022 #188 Share Posted August 1, 2022 How does the food compare with Royal's. It looks pretty similar although with different menu items. And slightly off topic, have you been on the Sun? I just found out it's sailing Canary Islands cruises from Lisbon over the winter. I am tempted but it seems to be a smaller, older ship... 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been on the Sun was scheduled many times but they kept canceling because I wanted to go to Asia and they won’t do Asia in the near future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
