Editorial Summary
The creators review the Sun Princess, the first ship in Princess Cruises' Sphere class, following a seven day Western Caribbean voyage. They highlight several positive innovations, including the redesigned Piazza which serves as a multi-use entertainment hub and the inclusion of a large glass sphere that allows natural light into the ship. The reviewers praise the new entertainment venues like the Princess Arena and the Dome, as well as the Cabana mini suite cabin type. They also discuss the value of the Princess Premier package for accessing specialty dining and technology. However, the review identifies several drawbacks. The creators note that the new entertainment venues are too small for the ship's passenger capacity, leading to crowding. They mention that the relocation of the buffet and International Cafe to Deck 9 was a polarizing change for loyal passengers. Additionally, they criticize the lack of sightlines in the Piazza due to decorations and the difficulty of obtaining iced coffee at onboard cafes. Despite these issues, the creators conclude that the ship represents a positive direction for the cruise line and recommend it to both new and loyal cruisers.

Creator's Key Takeaways
we spent 7 Days sailing to the Western Caribbean and here is what we found to be the best and worst on the sun princess
the redesign of the Piaza the Piaza for Princess cruise ships has always been that place where people gathered for entertainment where people gathered for food and snack gathered to get ready to go out and explore a cruise port and they took it to the next level
the Dome Can Only Hold 300 people and I think the princess Arena when it's maxed out can hold a th000 people and that cruise ship can really get up to you know 3,500 4,000 passengers
there is no love for iced coffee when it comes to princess you cannot go to the international cafe you cannot go to the new coffee currents which I thought was thebomb.com
