Princess has clearly been becoming more informal, trying to appeal to younger cruisers / families etc. Look at all the top deck entertainment options they are adding. Suddenly adding back in a formal dress code seems high unlikely. young cruisers/families don't dress up ? While on the majestic last Nov. there were quit a lot dressed for formal night . Maybe it was due to international population on board. Edited January 18 by c-boy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we sailed with our kids when they were younger and now our grandkids - they love to dress up for dinner! It's something we don't do at home so it 's a part of making the vacation special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maycruser Posted January 18 #1453 Share Posted January 18 2 hours ago, Wishing on a star said: Mayacruzer, by all photos and images, I do not see any 'obstruction' there. That first cabin you mentioned has that extended balcony right next to it. Not only obstructed, but a privacy issue as well. Just notice that these aft balconies are very small.... The deck plans are pretty much correct... and having that corner cropped off, gives you an aft view, but smaller than the already small balconies on Princess. Agree 100% we noticed the privacy issue not mention not enough light coming through...for now we will keep the latter and check for upgrade options closer to the sailing. We are questioning foot traffic as well since its right next to a lift..Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've circled 14643 which is on the opposite side of the ship from 14642. I would venture to say that your main view will be out to the side of the ship. You may get some aft view, but only if you stand right at the rail and look aft. @cruisedoctor Thank you for the photo, I believe the cabin is better suited out of the two. We are just wondering about the foot traffic with the lift next door. We will keep the cabin and check for upgrade options later. We were upgraded to a mini-suite on the Enchanted last month. Thank you! Edited January 18 by Maycruser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, some do - we're in late 30s and like dressing a little more smartly now and again. But do enough people do it every day to have dedicated floor of dining room? I'm sceptical, but we'll know in a few months when Sun launches. Edited January 18 by Leo37 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted January 18 #1456 Share Posted January 18 About the lift/elevator... Of course we don't know on a new ship, but usually these are not a huge concern. These seem to be small lifts, and perhaps they are restricted to Suite guests? If you like a bit of an aft view, and do mind the smaller balcony, then this would probably work out well. If balcony availability is the issue, then keep checking to see if anything else opens up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I misinterpreted the word "formality" in the Princess description. Time will tell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sox Fan Cruiser Posted January 19 #1466 Share Posted January 19 Even the website makes almost no mention of the Sun debut. It’s as if Princess isn’t even interested in the rollout. It’s seems we are more excited than they are! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Royal, they were coming out with new videos every week right up until first cruise. Did they layoff most of the Marketing Department?

Wishing on a star Posted January 19 #1471 Share Posted January 19 (edited) No, it certainly won't look like those CG images on most cruises! One recent review said that most all of the passengers seemed to be above 60.. Lots of batter wheelchairs, etc.... Princess is planning, and wishing, and dreaming a younger market ! We've seen one cruise that was younger, but it was a unique cruise and appealed to younger guests. Edited January 19 by Wishing on a star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare susieq76 Posted January 19 #1473 Share Posted January 19 Why on earth is the sushi restaurant coming up as specialty and not casual dining? One of the reasons I upgraded to premier is for unlimited casual as my family can and would eat sushi every day if allowed! Ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
