Editorial Summary

The creators provide their initial impressions of the Sun Princess, the largest ship in the Princess Cruises fleet. They highlight several positive features, including the Medallion technology for seamless access and service, the abundance of storage and electrical outlets in staterooms, and the extensive use of glass throughout the ship for scenic views. They also praise the spa facilities, specifically the Enclave at the Lotus Spa, and the smart elevator system. Regarding dining, they express excitement over a new three-story main dining room concept that offers different levels of formality, which they describe as a potential industry game changer. However, they note several drawbacks, such as the lack of lighting and footrests on balconies, congestion during embarkation, and certain specialty dining venues that feel too casual or lack separation from high-traffic areas. Additionally, they mention that some amenities, including Park 19 and the main production shows, were not yet operational during their first few days on board. Despite these issues, the creators conclude that the service has been high quality and they look forward to experiencing more of the ship.
