YouTube Video Description

This is a full tour and guide to Sun Princess and reflects changes made in October 2024. Join us as we tell you all you need to know - including some key and quite hard hitting comments - about the newest ship, Sun Princess, in the Princess fleet and one of the newest in this sector of the cruise industry. We cruised on Sun Princess in November 2024, just after Princess had made some key changes. But had they ironed out all of the previous complaints? We’ve identified a number of key areas on Sun Princess where we believe Princess needs to do work if it is to match the offerings of similarly placed cruise operators. Join us as we give you a heads up as to what’s good and what’s not so great on Sun Princess. Let us help you decide if this is a good choice for your next cruise vacation. #sunprincess #cruising #caribbean #princesscruises #cruisereview 00:00 - Introduction 01:38 - Sun Princess Tour Deck by Deck 2:58 - Sun Princess Deck 6 3:34 - Sun Princess Deck 7 4:55 - Sun Princess Deck 8 5:57 - Sun Princess Deck 9 7:09 - Sun Princess Deck 17 8:26 - Sun Princess Deck 18 9:01 - Sun Princess Deck 19 9:35 - Entertainment and Activities on Sun Princess 13:27 - Food and Dining Options on Sun Princess 13:38 - Free Dining Options on Sun Princess 20:00 - Dining Options with additional fee on Sun Princess 21:19 - Drinks and Bars including drinks prices on Sun Princess 23:54 - The Princess App and Princess Medallion 25:06 - Embarkation and Disembarkation on Sun Princess 26:50 - Princess Plus and Princess Premier Packages 28:49 - Staterooms on Sun Princess 32:31 - Spa and Gym on Sun Princess 34:00 - Our Top Tips on Sun Princess 35:25 - Did WE Love This 37:20 - Why we DIDN'T Love This and Goodbye!
