Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been on princess's newest class of ship for a week now and I must admit I have very mixed feelings

the ship's layout is very confusing with more dead ends than ever

one of the biggest improvements I've noticed over previous princess ships is the cabins they finally replace the dated shower curtains with glass doors

the service from the crew throughout the ship has been excellent

YouTube Video Description

I’ve been on Princess’ newest class of ship for a week now and I must admit I have very mixed feelings. On one hand, they’ve made many overdue improvements to their cabins with shower doors and couches now standard and they’ve introduced some dramatic spaces like a wider and brighter piazza and the dome pool lounge and performance space…but these changes have come at a heavy cost. The ship’s layout is very confusing with more dead ends than ever, the Dome is closed half the time to setup for evening shows that are very hard to get into. And fundamental spaces like the main theatre and gym have shrunk compared to previous classes even though this class accommodates 1,000 plus more guests. Stay tuned for a full rundown of first impressions of Sun Princess. #sunprincess #princesscruises #cruiseships You can find menus and daily programs from past cruises at https://thechillcruiser.blog 💬 SOCIALS Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechillcruiser Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_chill_cruiser/ 🛳️ MORE VIDEOS ON SUN PRINCESS Full ship review: https://youtu.be/Zgi2Qp1u7yQ 21 Hits & Misses on Sun Princess: https://youtu.be/hjonehlKDso Sun Princess 101: How to navigate this new Sphere class ship: https://youtu.be/zOceVitjXR4 Casino tour: https://youtu.be/ldYKlBxyxJw Enclave thermal suite tour: https://youtu.be/zUt_blLD8hw Cabin tour & tips: Deluxe Balcony: https://youtu.be/RlUuohcPEbk Cabin tour & tips: Premium Oceanview: https://youtu.be/p32bu8y6Xr8 📘 CHAPTERS 00:00 Start 01:10 Tradeoffs 01:51 NCL deja vu 02:37 Frustrating layout 03:37 Sanctuary 04:05 Impressive cabins 04:25 Promenade hits & misses 04:52 Piazza 05:11 Flawed dome 06:06 Tiny indoor pool 06:33 Dining 07:47 Smoky casino 08:17 Elevators 08:33 Great crew
