Creator's Key Takeaways

this is the clumsiest design ship of the 30 plus ships I've sailed on and the layout is very confusing

the buffet moved from the deck to the top floor of the Piaza on Deck 9 with an American Diner in the a section

princess live which is the multi-purpose Lounge used for game shows Comedians and presentations is now on the lower floor of the Piaza undex 7

Guest Services is now one deck below the Piaza complex on Deck six forward surrounded by cabins

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the new elevator system that directs you to a specific elevator based on your destination to reduce wait times.

✓If you're in the forward or aft stairwells, odd cabins are on your left and even on your right; in the middle stairwell, odd are on your right and even on your left.

✓Arrive at least 30 minutes early for performances in The Dome to secure a seat.

✓For production shows, line up 1 to 2 hours early to get a seat in the small theater.

YouTube Video Description↓

Sun Princess is very different compared to other Princess ships …and very confusing. If you’re used to Royal or Grand class ships, there’s a huge learning curve when it comes to the layout. The buffet’s moved to the middle of the ship, a lot more venues and services are clustered in the piazza area with other services normally in the piazza now on lower decks surrounded by cabins. In this episode of the Chill Cruiser, it’s Sun 101 – a guide to the many changes from a layout perspective to help you get oriented faster. If you’re booked on Sun Princess or considering a Sun cruise, you’re not going to want to miss this. #sunprincess #cruisetips You can find menus and daily programs from past cruises at https://thechillcruiser.blog 💬 SOCIALS Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thechillcruiser Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_chill_cruiser/ ☀️ OTHER SUN PRINCESS VIDEOS Sun Princess review: https://youtu.be/Zgi2Qp1u7yQ 21 Hits and Misses on Sun Princess: https://youtu.be/hjonehlKDso Casino tour: https://youtu.be/ldYKlBxyxJw Enclave thermal suite tour: https://youtu.be/zUt_blLD8hw Cabin tour & tips: Deluxe Balcony: https://youtu.be/RlUuohcPEbk Cabin tour & tips: Premium Oceanview: https://youtu.be/p32bu8y6Xr8 📘 CHAPTERS 00:00 Start 02:15 Embarkation and landing 02:36 Deck names/numbers 03:03 Elevators 03:34 Dead ends 03:54 Odd or even? 04:23 Cabins types and amenities 04:50 Buffet and restaurants 06:42 Bars 07:24 Amenities 09:15 Entertainment 10:36 Services
