We are fans of both Celebrity and Princess for different reasons. Absolutely agree with your staff assessment. Unfortunately, we had a couple of very bad experiences with this past cruise. After one more booked cruise on Celebrity Silhouette next April, we'll be returning to Princess. Not that it's the only reason, but you can't beat the casino comp prices. 😀 Normally don't do the casinos on Princess. We don't like the smoking that's still allowed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On our recent Princess cruises, casino smoking was pretty light and restricted to a small area. That restriction was not enforced, however. We mitigate the problem by playing during the day.

Jaymuxman Posted May 17, 2023 #278 Share Posted May 17, 2023 We were booked in a regular mini suite on March 29, 2024 but have been "upgraded" to cabana mini suite. Normally, I would be very excited, however, the cabana mini we have been assigned is above the buffet. I know for a fact I would not be a happy camper if it was below buffet but wondering if anyone has an opinion about being above the buffet. I realize no one has sailed on the Sun at this time, but anyone have a similar cabin on another ship that is above the buffet. I was shocked to have received an upgrade so early.

mlmbar Posted May 17, 2023 #279 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I am really surprised to hear of an upgrade so early also. Is that on deck 10? Being above it should not be a problem We are on deck 9. WAYYYYYYY in the front of the ship but may try to change it later when cabin numbers are used instead of guarantee. We actually moved our cabin from those right on the sun deck. Don't want people walking and being in front of our cabin and because our cabana would not be right on the ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly can one get "upgraded"? Never happened to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Nemanoxer Posted May 17, 2023 #282 Share Posted May 17, 2023 I hope I will be safe from Paparazzi-ism in 12423 - at least from above 😄 Excited to find out one day which special advantages category CA brings with it. Too much confusion at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to be the bow end of the Cabana Deck. You see the high glass on the right? If I get this and the deck plan for deck 9 right, 09106 should be further forward so you should not be having that stuff in front of your cabin.

We had a cabin right there and moved to a cabana cabin outside of the sun deck because we can see that those cabins will have people sitting and walking by right in front of them and the cabana is not right at the ocean but sits back. If we haven a balcony cabin, we want the ocean nright below us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new Sun Princess rendering does seem to show high glass all along deck 9. I think this is where some of the Cabana rooms will be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the renderinjg above, the left shows cabana cabins right on the sun deck./ There are also cabana cabins (C2) at on either side of the sun deck but not ON the deck. It is accessed by walking down the hallway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But both will have higher glass than standard balcony glass according to the rendering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be specific it is 10501. I could not believe we received an upgrade so soon either. In fact, in the 15 cruises we have taken with Princess, this is the first upgraded we have received. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expat Cruise Posted May 17, 2023 #300 Share Posted May 17, 2023 On 12/16/2022 at 7:36 AM, nasa1974 said: So Princess is promoting the Sun Princess 2024 Mediterranean Itinerary. Nice. I just wish their deck plans had more information on them, to generic. I know, it is still 14 months away. More than likely, it will be at least 6 - 8 months before we see actual locations of bars, pools, restaurants, shops, the buffet, etc. At least Crooners is mentioned somewhere on deck 8. Some information says the indoor/outdoor pool is located in "The Dome". More information please. Just having some fun but would still like more information. Looking forward to the new ship. The deck plans are on the Princess website. You can go to the site and see where everything is. No need to wait. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
