Whilst not everything on the ship is working, deck 19, the rest of the ship is fantastic. We had a mini suite. Thd cabin is well appointed, slightly disappointing that there was no coffee machine in the cabin but as we could get fresh coffee and drinks on the lido, literally just a 1 min walk from the cabin or use ocean now delivery, so not the end of the world. The restaurants are fantastic with ...
Ship wasn’t ready to sail.
Customer service was horrible!
Not enough seating in Eatery and Arena.
Most show in Arena were rock music, sound was too loud for ears, could damage hearing in long periods of time.
Huge ship, but felt so crowded.
No quiet public area, except Dome which didn’t open till our second half cruise starting 4/8/2024.
Bed and pillows were comfy, nights were ...
This was the third sailing of the vessel, so a bunch of stuff was not yet operational which is why she gets 4 out of 5. The itinerary was great, the staff was some of the best drawn from across the Princess fleet and it showed. The ship was brand new and gorgeous, and the glass door showers, sofas in balcony rooms, and revolutionary smart elevators were welcomed innovations that made the trip more ...
The room looked nice but opened the curtains to the balcony and turned around to see hair from previous guests everywhere and something had been spilled all down the front of the table and fridge. Nothing seemed to be sanitized ( same dirty rag to wipe down tables without a spray of disinfectant on all outside deck areas and the Eatery tables). In the Eatery breakfast and lunch served the same ...
First, it is a beautiful ship, but (a) the first 2 cruises were cancelled because the ship wasn't ready and (b) not all of the venues were open when we boarded what turned out to be the 3rd cruise. This was obviously disappointing.
Next, let me tell you my notes before we boarded the ship. We could not book any specialty restaurants until 30 days before we sailed. The Princess app is slow. ...
It was nice being on a brand new ship but we were really disappointed on what wasn’t open especially most of Park 19 and the arena. The dome was very busy when it was opened so we didn’t get a chance to enjoy it. The pools were nice especially the pool area in the forward of the ship that had two hot tubs. To summarize I’d say this: Great port stops, awesome staff, great teen club that my kids ...
This cruise is absolutely awful!! The food is terrible in all the restaurants including the specialty restaurants. The lady who is the cruise director is awful!! There is absolutely no entertainment!! Back to the food. They serve the same food in the buffet for lunch and dinner, everyday for 10 days!! Just awful!! Our suite was super comfy, but even the signature lounge had hardly any snacks and ...
This was our 14th cruise crossing mulitple cruise lines (Viking, Royal, Azamara, HAL) and now Princess for the first time. Our trip was going to be the 4th cruise of the Sun Princess, but it turned out to be the second I believe. I still have high expectations for Princess as they didnt communicate any issues with the boat prior to departure. We did upgrade to a balcony room. We had another room ...
Writing as I go, so the review might seem choppy.
I enjoyed my sun princess cruise very much. The workers were fantastic. I would recommend it for my family if they want to sail.
There were some negatives that I will mention in the review. I write them out not as a complaint, but I am hoping Princess media team will be able to see it and make improvement. I also hope to provide future ...

I’ll keep these comments about the ship, rather than ports or other things.
