Seems like there isn't a lot of posting from those who have the Sun booked for next year? We had booked Europe for next Spring, But, decided that it just wouldn't work out. Have you looked at the Roll Calls? There is an active one for the maiden transatlantic for the Sun Princess and the cruise just before that. They already have a dinner planned before boarding for each and a large spreadsheet with everyone's info plus plans for various game groups and some early planning for excursions. It has more activity than my next cruise leaving in 3 months! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike2015 Posted August 11, 2023 #602 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We are booked February 18th! Can’t wait! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted August 11, 2023 #606 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I am looking at the June 2024 seven day Med cruises on Sun. We are a family of six and need 3 cabins together, and cabin availability is very limited. I assume this is because people can book a 7, 14, or 21 day version of these cruises so that narrows down which cabins are available. I notice that every day the cabins that are available change, they either disappear or change to different ship locations. We are leaning towards the June 29th cruise with Istanbul but as mentioned each morning the available cabins seem to change (or are in an undesirable location, like under the Dome which will have night performances or overlooking the open Cabana deck). So I haven't booked anything yet, I am just watching what's available and learning as much as I can about the ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted August 11, 2023 #607 Share Posted August 11, 2023 We have a penthouse suite on deck 17 at the corner. Looks like a severe overhang on our balcony. We aren’t excited about that but not going to let it affect our wonderful cruise. That’s what you get when you book sight-unseen. Bring it on!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pstcrik Posted August 11, 2023 #608 Share Posted August 11, 2023 I'm concerned they forgot "Vines" 😁. Still watching those sights marked "coming" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocklinmom Posted August 14, 2023 #611 Share Posted August 14, 2023 Princess must have heard me (LOL) because now there are more balcony cabins available on the cruise we are looking at and can get 3 together. I am still trying to research the layout of Sun cabins and balconies and trying to avoid what I think will be the louder areas (open cabana deck on 9, the long rows of cabana balcony cabins, under the Dome, etc.). We had considered doing Oceanview cabins to save some money but they are either under the theater or above the Landing area (loading/embarking/tender wait area).

vividharp Posted August 14, 2023 #612 Share Posted August 14, 2023 @rocklinmom We originally wanted to try the cabana suites and they were sold out so fast. We wanted to give something new and different a try. We ended up with a deluxe balcony. And we couldn’t get two together. We did get two on the same floor though.

dides Posted August 15, 2023 #613 Share Posted August 15, 2023 The third video from Adam Savage is all about the Sun Princess build approach - pre-fabricating cabins off-site, saving space, an extra large embarkation door. No spoilers on the cabin interiors unfortunately! 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just booked three deluxe balcony cabins together. The cabin availability keeps shuffling, you could check and see what your cruise is currently showing. If you see a pair together you could always change to those, it's nice to be next to each other and get your balconies connected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does PDR mean Private Dining Room? I would guess it's for the Chef's Table which on the newer ships is round and has a crystal curtain surrounding it. Looks like here they have a wall for privacy. Or maybe some new kind of dining experience like Chef's Table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pickypicky Posted August 27, 2023 #623 Share Posted August 27, 2023 We are Princess newbies, but not new to cruising (we are Azamara devotees, but excited to be cruising with our family), traveling with kids and grandkids. We have a guarantee mini suite M2. Any ideas about when we will get our assignment? Just curious. There are only 40 suites in our category and none of them is in an unappealing location, AFAIK, so I'm not concerned at all. New build, not lots of info. Can anyone tell me how this works?

Guarantee assignments can be made pretty much anytime up until the day of boarding so unfortunately that doesn't give you much more information than you already have. Just keep checking the personalizer and eventually you'll see an assignment. Anecdotally the stories of people getting their assignments at the pier are far and few between and there's some thought the assignment was made earlier but the person didn't check. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickypicky Posted August 27, 2023 #625 Share Posted August 27, 2023 Thank you. Is the personalizer on the App? I'm totally in the dark here and could be one of those with an assignment at the pier lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
