  1. Good point. Is any of it in operation yet? Does it seem like many kids are on board?
  2. We have cruised in the Med and northern Europe, but mostly Caribbean. I wonder when Sun moves over here how thing might change. With the problematic launch in the Med, hopefully things will shake out by Fall. Hope so, because there don't seem to be many options once she is over here.
  3. Rats. It was really convenient being able to grab a cup first thing in the morning. Thanks.
  4. Not so much a comparison of the physical as which we are more comfortable with. We've been fans of the X Solstice class for years but lately have been moving toward Princess for various reasons. My gut tells me the Sun may be too much change at one time. We'll see.
  5. We're on Silhouette next month, then Sun in October. Comparing them will be fun.
  6. I know for a fact, as recently as today, that PCL does monitor CC to some extent. So maybe...😃
  7. Sometimes food pics can overwhelm a thread. I thought CanadianBurger has presented a good balance with this one.
  8. Maybe you'll get a shock from your medallion until you leave the area. 😃
  9. No problems here. And thanks for all you've done. We're on Sun in October and you have answered many of our concerns.
  10. On a slightly more aromatic subject, is there still morning coffee service at The Hideaway? We're booked in April only a few feet from where it was when we last sailed on her.
  11. We usually play slots, but sometimes I'll hit the blackjack. Learned the hard way a long time ago, if you are OK and the dealer/box changes, walk away.
  12. Locust. Not far from us in University City. Daughter and Granddaughters in Cabarrus.
  13. We have 3 through 2025 that came in under the old offers. We bumped 2 to Mini suites, a 14 and a 20 day, and paid them in full. If the new offers stay in place, they may be our last, or close to it. Powerball may help, but I'm not holding by breath. 😄
  14. Fair enough. We went on our only TA last year. We weren't overly excited. We were on Celebrity Reflection, which we love, but we had cabin damage, the food wasn't up to standard and bar service, considering 43% capacity, sucked. We were long term X cruisers and this was really upsetting. Didn't see anyone under 60, to your point.
  15. Sure, and we plan for that. But the loss of balcony is hard.
  16. I think this change, if permanent, my bump a lot of us off. But I'm not sure if the lines in general care. They seem to be going after the younger crowd. Just a thought.
  17. The paid in full makes a difference to us. DW is retired and I sure wish I was. When I do, it might be the only way we can cruise. We love it, but...
  18. I kind of think TAs to be useless. Have a CVP we love, but mostly just online.
  19. For several months my wife and I have been getting Players Advantage offers - aka casino comps. She gets an interior and I get a balcony. We love the program and view it as the best way for us to continue cruising into retirement. We have 3 cruises booked through 2025 with 2 bumped to minisuites. I started looking at 2026 and found that only interior cabins come up. Anything else is an upgrade. I thought it might be specific to 2026, but when I checked for 2024 and 2025 I got the same result. Just a guess, but I'm thinking this might be a reaction to the delayed inaugural sailing of Sun. I expect pretty much everyone on this forum is aware that, at best, the Sun launch has been problematic. Has anyone heard why this change has been made? Sadly, if it is permanent, it may mark the end of our cruising or at least a reduction.
