Creator's Key Takeaways

we spent 16 nights aboard Sun princess on a transatlantic cruise from Southampton England all the way back to Fort Lauderdale

the public spaces on this ship are rather small compared to the other princess ships we've sailed on

the ship was very smooth we didn't have any issues with the sailing it was a very stable solid ship

the Wi-Fi I thought was very average speed especially for starlink

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book the Princess Premier Package for better value on drinks, Wi-Fi, and dining
Arrive at least an hour early for shows in the Princess Arena or Dome
Consider the ship's crowding when choosing a sailing, especially in peak seasons
