Creator's Key Takeaways

We are about to walk on the newest, at the time of filming, Princess cruise ship, the Sun Princess.

People get here early to stake out their spots.

This is really odd for me because usually the buffet is upstairs on the Leo deck and the buffet here is on the 9inth floor.

I love vintage and this lounge always gives me the feels with the vintage materials that they bring in here.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Get to shows early due to limited seating.
Be aware that people reserve lounge chairs early in the morning.
Use midship elevators to access the Lotus Spa efficiently.
