Wow...or did they just not add the pads yet? It does seem like they added more people Go to post 2967 earlier in this thread to see a video of the Sanctuary. Jump to 1:26 and watch a minute or so from there and you will see that not only are the lounge chairs unpadded, but the gentleman giving the tour concedes that the Sanctuary on Sun is "very different compared to Royal Class." And yes, they added much more capacity. 324 pax on Sun compared to 60-100 on other ships. The Sanctuary has two sections, one for regular paying guests and one area for Suite passengers. The Suite area looks more like what you would be used to. Edited March 1 by JimmyVWine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted March 1 #3179 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Cushions for the Sanctuary loungers.... There seems to be a LOT that is not finished onboard. The things that we know about... and many smaller things that we might not. There are workers at work in the Dome... Hot tub in the Sanctuary... the cabanas in the Sanctuary, and probably a good number of other areas. (NO WAY THEY DID NOT KNOW WELL BEFOREHAND THAT THOSE FIRST SAILINGS WOULD BE CANCELLED) I really do NOT see how Princess could begin to expect to charge for unpadded loungers... Of course, we know how off-base and incompetent this corporation has been lately. Whoever was in charge of finalizing the design and decor of the Sanctuary is another person who should no longer be with PCL.

It is shown here, in this video. (great video of the Dome!) at about the 4:30 mark. Thanks for the video. The Sea View Terrace is similar to the Royal Caribbean Oasis class ships.

Are there any loungers in the shade in either area of the Sanctuary? From your video and others I've seen NONE of the loungers are in the shade.

Wishing on a star Posted March 1 #3183 Share Posted March 1 (edited) I did hear one comment that the Sanctuary cabanas are $499... Maybe that is something that will NOT be true. Last I heard they often do not sell out at half that price. Crazy..... Edited March 1 by Wishing on a star Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishing on a star Posted March 1 #3187 Share Posted March 1 Chamima, I have seen some walk thru videos, and any shades area is from the 'tarps', at the entry area where there are some tables and chairs.... One wouldn't have a sea-view, but I can see people wanting to make room there for their loungers, if there is any space to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleTinker Posted March 1 #3189 Share Posted March 1 Is there an independent adults only swimming pool on the Sun? I did not know this was the ship it was when I booked it. Starting to regret that now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare startedwithamouse Posted March 1 #3191 Share Posted March 1 (edited) 18 minutes ago, Wishing on a star said: They are padded on Discovery, right??? The loungers you showed in a photo from Sun are the new non sanctuary area ones on Discovery. They replaced the old ones a couple months ago. I stated "Same new lounge chairs on Discovery", I didn't say sanctuary. Here's a photo I took of lounge chairs on Discovery not in the sanctuary from last month. They appear to be the same loungers you showed in the sanctuary on Sun. Edited March 1 by startedwithamouse 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYCruise Posted March 1 #3192 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Maybe someone mistakenly put the padded loungers in the Sea View Terrace (which looks really nice btw) instead of the Sanctuary?

A cabana for the day at one of our favorite places in Southern California is $500, which does NOT include drinks or food. Princess is in Southern California, maybe they looked at what a local place is charging? Edited March 1 by startedwithamouse 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishing on a star Posted March 1 #3194 Share Posted March 1 Which , of course, is why I showed the photo..... All we can do is hope that new padding/chairs show up on the SUN. And hope... and hope... and hope.... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And hope... and hope... and hope.... Given that they more than tripled that capacity of the Sanctuary, and now have it divided into "Suite" and "non-Suite" areas, I think it is highly unlikely that we are going to see hundreds of nicely padded loungers in the non-Suite area. The crew member giving the tour in the video I referred to earlier certainly did not leave the impression that the vast row of vinyl loungers that we saw in the non-Suite area are going to be anything other than what we saw. It almost looks to me like the entire set-up is different, and instead of paying for and reserving a specific seating area for the length of the cruise, what you are buying is entry into a "Haven-esque" escape where there are several different seating options open to all who pay (on the non-Suite side), some of which are padded and many of which are not. And if this is true, we will now have a new category of guest on board, which is the "Sanctuary Chair Hog". Sort of like leaving the ranks of the amateurs and turning pro.

Vinnyv20032003 Posted March 1 #3196 Share Posted March 1 (edited) Maybe if enough of us post enough negative comments that include “Sanctuary” “chairs” “pads” they’ll get them onboard before the warmer weather. I’ll post a comment once a day to up the negative comment count. Edited March 1 by Vinnyv20032003 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
