What does it mean and how will it work? Not going to happen, according to the staff member I asked in the elite lounge on 17 tonight. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cable car is undergoing winter maintenance, and won’t be open in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the Santorini cable car website is incorrect and it would be still out of action on the 16th when you were due to dock?

CruizinSusan70 Posted March 12 #58 Share Posted March 12 9 hours ago, Esprit said: I hope for our August cruise they make the second sitting 8.15 pm, as 7.30 pm is a bit too early for us during the long summer days. That can easily be resolved by booking 815 for each evening on deck 7 ahead of time, in case there are no adjustments once the seasons change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderMan3 Posted March 12 Author #63 Share Posted March 12 8 hours ago, Steelers36 said: For me, I can see a row of the white plastic hard chairs on either side of the pool with padded loungers in the back, behind them. Around 2:31-2:33 and 2:39, can see other side and there are padded loungers. Appear to be doubles on the one side at least. The other video shows the hard plastic chairs nearest the pool on one side only. I'd say it's a rearrangement of furniture. No doubt some guests where asking for a re-arrangement and wanted to be near the pool in a soft lounger versus the stylistic hard ones. Have no idea what you’re referring to. I looked at those times you mentioned and there are no padded loungers to be seen. There are the large sun beds closest to the person videoing and then another row of sun beds on the other side of the pool in the distance, then there are the hard white plastic seats all around and then a little further away you can see some standard loungers with head rests.

Obviously the broths are for the members of your party. If it was communal and someone had a seafood allergy, well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve always been a few steps behind the other cruise lines when it comes to suites. I imagine that in any ships after Star we will see the suites evolve further and improve. I like the direction they’re headed though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WonderMan3 Posted March 13 Author #68 Share Posted March 13 Quick question. Does anyone know how you can hide or block a specific YouTube channel? Everytime I do a search on Sun Princess content I get this annoying cruise channel pushed into my search results with content that has nothing to do with my search. It’s really frustrating.

Rare Globaler Posted March 13 #70 Share Posted March 13 Any comments on ordering drinks in the casino? Without a bar in the casino; it seems to me that options are limited for reliable service other than leaving your machine or table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The initial concern would only be focused on 'space' allocation ie. Sanctuary suite space looks relatively small and reference was made to two story lounge but the pic of the lounge in article looks relatively plain and decidely one story. Otherwise some very interesting spaces on board most of which haven't even started operation (sounds like being an early cruiser on Sun was not ideal). Rooting for good execution from Princess since the market needs more 'reasonable' suite options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or family group. The broth is on boil, which did not seem adequately demonstrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it will be highly utilized by suite guests during nice weather cruises and there will be few paying guests that will get access and that will likely only be on port days. I wouldn’t be surprised if they phase out the paid option later this year and make it a suites exclusive space. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sanctuary will disappear as a paid 'public' venue. A shame in a way because the nice sized pool would be a great add on to the 'traditional' sanctuary. The only reason we are interested in suites is a less congested pool option with a bar and a quieter dining area. A lounge can be nice also but not a big deal unless it is like on MSC YC with a large beautiful space and nightly entertainment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
