Creator's Key Takeaways

I went on my very first Princess Cruise back in 2007 so I've seen the cruise line evolve

the ship Sun princess is Princess Cruz's newest and largest ship and it is the sphere class which is a completely new ship design for Princess Cruises

I love the ship and I think that you are going to love this ship honestly in fact I did not want to get off

there was maybe something that I wasn't prepared for and that was the actual layout of the cruise ship it really just is so different
