Editorial Summary

The creators provide a comprehensive deck-by-deck tour of the Sun Princess, a new type of ship for Princess Cruises. They begin on Deck 17, highlighting the glass Dome and the Sea View Terrace, noting the accessibility features and the beautiful fountains. The tour moves through various dining options, including the buffet on Deck 9, which they praise for its cleanliness due to food being served behind glass screens. They explore specialty restaurants such as Sabatini's, the Crown Grill, and the new Umai Tepanyaki, which features unique hot pot tables. The creators also examine entertainment venues like the Princess Arena, the Piazza, and the interactive Good Spirits at Sea bar. While they enjoy the modern, bright atmosphere and the abundance of windows providing sea views, they note some drawbacks, such as the smoke from the casino traveling to higher decks and the unconventional location of guest services. They conclude that the ship represents a new direction for the cruise line, aiming for a younger, more family-oriented demographic through enhanced activities and modern amenities.

Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a lovely way to spend the day even if it's cold outside or too hot it's all temperature controlled in here as well so it's always very very comfortable

we were surprised by the amount of food offerings on board compared to other Princess cruise ships so we were very pleased in that respect

the food was really excellent in the buffet we're just going to show you several dishes that were on offer at lunchtime one day it was great to see

we did really enjoy it guys it definitely is in a New Direction for Princess Cruises they're going for more modern more fun family activities

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book specialty restaurants before you get on the cruise ships because they often sell out
βœ“Avoid cabins on Deck 9 or maybe even Deck 10 because casino smoke can travel
βœ“Try to get a table at the back of the Horizon's dining room for stunning wake views
βœ“Go to the gym mid-morning or lunchtime to avoid busy periods
