I am booked in a cabana mini (not reserve).  The minimum bid for the next level up for reserve was only 25pp.  

Is it 25/pp per day? Or a flat 25/pp?

Flat 25.  So 50 minimum for the week for the two of us.

There is a crew member on tiktok who is posting a lot of videos of the interior of the ship. Her name is @sandybambii https://www.tiktok.com/@sandybambii

Thanks but I refuse to access that platform.

Would anyone like to venture an educated guess why the Sun Princess is stopping at Zelenika, Montenegro on the 24th?

As we know, the Sun construction has not been completed and behind schedule, hence the delay getting out of the shipyard and workers still on board.  This includes a lot of the bathroom plumbing, so they have to stop for a pee break.

There is space available on the first sailing if anyone wants to jump onboard quick.  Some of the top suites.

I just saw that, 3 Sky and 6 Owner suites.  Also provides an upgrade path for existing cabins.   

 

Folks get your upgrade bids in quick if you have not already.

A reel has been posted of Sun Princess as she left the shipyard today. Interesting to see what features are lit up along the length of the ship too.

 

Interesting to see many cabin lights turned on... I wonder if cabins are still occupied by workers, or whether they've just left the lights on.   (I could understand if they had turned ALL the cabin lights on for that departure, however it only appeared to be perhaps one third of cabins).

I wonder when Princess will start the streaming the Bridge Cam...

As I post this, the sun is literally rising on the Sun Princess right now in the Adriatic Sea, so in the coming hours curious locals may start snapping some pics of her has she glides into Montenegro.

Thanks to all who have scoured for footage. There’s excitement and anticipation for many, and disappointment for many others. Just wanted to share this cropped video and hope it brightens your day.

Maybe that was some of the work being done.

A bunch of VIP invites bailed.

Where they can get it. It’ll likely be burning bunker fuel on long runs or if they can’t get LNG in any port on the itinerary

There is Levante LNG supply ship that can in the western men places like Gibraltar, MAlaga can also Supply LNG via land
Barcelona has LNG facilities 

a few option in the med but Gib looks like the biggest

I am on Regal now and asked Future Cruise guy about the D0- aft premium deluxe balconies that say includes signature benefits & upgrades. These are the more expensive in that category- aft. He said yes to eating in Signature restaurant & to sun deck. No to signature lounge. He wasn’t very informed about much. Wait & see.

Interesting, I’m in a D1 and I can book the signature restaurant too.

Quick stop at Zelenika, already enroute to Civitavecchia. Didn’t even look like they docked. Maybe it was for photo ops as previously mentioned. Crappy weather there though, so not sure how well that could have gone..

And as you can see, you cant' see anything from the open decks. Especially when it rains.

Full glass railings on the publick decks...

I’m in a signature suite and can’t book the signature dining room.

I think it was just a short Cabotage stop, as Montenegro is not part of the EU / Schengen Area.

[Globaler]

Agree. I still have my signature dining reservations but when I try to look for other times it says “sorry…. We could not find any reservations at this time. Please check back later.”

I am on the June 8th sailing

I’m in a DA and it has let me book the Signature restaurant today for the May 4th sailing.

Opinions wanted:  given that the Sun's Signature Restaurant seems to be accepting reservations does that mean that the "no need for a reservation" currently touted for the Reserve (Club Class) restaurants will not be true for the Signature Restaurant on the Sphere class ships?

Im in a Signature Suite in Jan 25.  Having cruised in the old Club, not needing a reservation was the big plus. I hope it stays the same as we just like to go whenever we feel like it. The option of jut walking in without a wait is part of the justification, for us, of the larger price point.

That's my personal opinion too.  We're also sailing in Jan 2025 so there is lots of time to determine how everything is working or not.
