Creator's Key Takeaways

Sun Princess is a polarizing new ship that's full of trade-offs

I was on board for several weeks as a paying guest

The layout is very confusing with multiple dead ends

I would rate cabins five out of five stars

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Pay close attention to deck plans when choosing your cabin to avoid obstructed views

✓Book the Tepanyaki restaurant at least once for an excellent dining experience

✓Wait for the third showing of production shows to avoid long lines and overcrowding
