Creator's Key Takeaways

the embarcation process felt a little bit unorganized they got us s pretty quickly but it wasn't quite as smooth of a process

this Vista Suite is honestly one of the nicest rooms we've had it's it's probably the nicest room we've had at se

avoid Guest Services on embarcation day if you can at all Costless you want to spend an hour of your first day waiting in line

the food was solid the service was very friendly professional bit slow at times but overall solid

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Avoid Guest Services on embarkation day to prevent long waits
โœ“Arrive 45 minutes early for shows to get good seats
โœ“Use the gelato area for coffee to avoid long lines at the International Cafe

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

Join us for Days 1 & 2 onboard the Sun Princess as we navigate a chaotic embarkation, settle into our Sanctuary Vista Suite (#15624) and explore the ship! We kick things off with drinks at the Signature Suite Lounge, then enjoy dinner at the Sanctuary Restaurant. On Day 2, we experience breakfast at The Eatery Buffet and later indulge in a family-style steakhouse dinner at Butcherโ€™s Block by Dario. We take a full Kids Club tour, explore the SkyDeck Sports Court (formerly Park 19), and catch two shows at Princess Arenaโ€”including Fiera. Unfortunately, the Dome was closed due to a performer accident the week prior. We also grab lunch at the Lido Deck before relaxing in the pools & hot tubs.
