Thanks for sharing - I found it. The more I think about it, I think we'd rather have this area adults only since we can't control other peoples kids and the Sun is likely to be more families than a typical PCL ship. Our teens will have plenty to do on the Sun anyway. 

Can you post the link here. I was not able.

They were taken this morning - Wednesday 6th December

 

Princess are booking entertainers for an inaugural launch event in Barcelona from 6th to 8th Feb just before the first passenger cruise so they seem to be confident all is on track

Those are great pictures. Thanks so much for the updates and posting those. 
 

The Sun Princess looks beautiful. 
Very happy to hear they are planning events for her inaugural. It does make it seem she is staying on track for February 8th.

That bathroom looks lovely but there is absolutely NO storage.

There are no drawers and the three minuscule shelves have now been reduced to one.

It looks like there is a glass shelf under the vanity but it's still not as much storage as on the current ships.

And with my back and knee issues I’d probably have to sit on the toilet to access anything down there. 

[c-boy]

the floor to ceiling tile looks elegant.

I agree on first glance but I think Cruise Fever's photos cut off the top of the wall in which there is a shadow at the top, which I assume is of another shelf. Your point about perhaps space for some sort of drawer that could've been added but isn't is well taken, though.

[chamima]

On the plus side - I'm happy to see the glass enclosed shower instead of the awful curtain.

[Pixelskaya]

The glass shower looks fantastic! I hate shower curtains.

I wonder if the large expanse of wood under the sink is in fact a drawer. We have something similar at home.

Cabana Deck - with original rendering

 

 

The reimagined cabins

Well its official, my worst fears came true looks like its tall glass all the way around the cabana deck including the cabana rooms forward. Really didn't want to be in a fishbowl on my balcony

[mlmbar]

The cabana mini suites on the cabana deck have always been open to the cabana deck with “balconies” right on the deck. We moved our reserved cabana mini suite off the sun deck to the cabins next to the sun deck.

Why do you say that? The balcony is not even installed yet, so far it looks like it’s going to be like the renders

It's all looking very...enclosed 😬 O'Malleys looks nice!

I can’t see a balcony being enclosed with all glass. Doesn’t make sense. 

[dides]

The media were shown 6 different types of stateroom mockups. here are some screengrabs from a reel by thetravelista.

Oceanview Stateroom

 

 

And some of the Suite balcony furniture  - maybe Owners Suite from previous pics posted here

 

[CalTexCruiser]

the living room of the Penthouse Suite seems a bit narrow.

Have you seen any of the balconies on Celebrity's new Edge class ships?
