I Tried the New Princess Megaship and Here’s What Happened!

Key Moments
Editorial Summary
The creator evaluates the new Sun Princess sphere class ship, noting its departure from traditional Princess Cruises design to target a younger, family oriented demographic. On the positive side, the reviewer highlights the modern ship design, the connection to the sea through glass spheres, and an expanded variety of specialty and casual dining options. The Sanctuary Collection is noted as a successful premium ship within a ship offering. However, the review identifies significant drawbacks for loyal Princess cruisers, including a confusing layout that deviates from the brand's predictable patterns and a noisy, high energy atmosphere. The creator points out that several key venues, such as the buffet, the theater, and the fitness center, appear undersized for the ship's 4,300 passenger capacity. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the ship successfully caters to a new generation of travelers seeking a relaxed, resort style experience, it may alienate traditional passengers who prefer the calmer, more familiar atmosphere of older fleet vessels.

Creator's Key Takeaways
I booked and paid for my seven night Sun Princess Mediterranean cruise to test this all out at the usual fair through my travel agent.
I feel it's targeted at crowd that are less bothered about enrichment, but also don't expect or need rock climbing walls, roller coasters, wave riders that you get on, say, Royal Caribbean.
Personally it's not a ship I would hurry back to is too big and the pool for families and multigenerational travel is personally not for me.
