Really? Well then they're lying about it in that case because that's what guest service rep told my husband 😞

It is indeed included in base fare on deck 9 but not on lido, very odd

Not open yet sadly! We are currently on the ship.

No nothing mentioned about price or time line or anything for that matter!

I'm still unsure about this myself! We got a soft serve cone yesterday for my son and it says $4 for premium soft serve at coffee and cones but included in premier package. We have the plus package and I don't see a charge on our folio but maybe it will be added later? There is another soft serve section in the eatery ( outdoor section) that we will check out later today which is definitely included 🙂

I'm assuming because child numbers are relatively low, they often merge all the 0-12 year olds into the firefly room (Neon Grove is supposed to be the space for 8-12 year olds) This will hopefully change when there are more kiddos on board, I hope. But because I have an active boy with lots of energy, he is pretty bored with the kids club overall. He enjoys the video games and elements of it but he needs more opportunities to run around and get energy out- park 19 would be perfect, ughhh! He is not a big crafter which is mostly what they have been doing. Also close to park 19 there's a netted area with some large connect 4 games (both faulty though), a bean bag toss and little trikes for 2-5 year olds, again not much going on for older kids. We are a pretty easy going family overall but this cruise just doesn't seem that kid friendly to us. There isn't even a kids section in the eatery(buffet) which I also assumed was standard on princess cruises??? Luckily, he can live off the pizza which happens to be amazing! We will have dinner in the MDR tomorrow night and I really hope there's a kid menu! But yeah, for our first ever cruise as a family with a 9 year old, maybe Royal Caribbean would have been the better choice for his sake. For adults though, this cruise is paradise!! We are on the ship until Sat, so if you have anymore questions, ask away 🙂

Hey again, My partner just got back from guest services and questioned what is going on. After insisting on some answers, he finally got some!! Because the ship was built in Italy, Park 19 passed all Italian regulations BUT did not pass international safety tests but they keep saying they're hopeful it will open soon! But they are definitely beating around the bush and being secretive about it.

Hi Mary, fingers crossed for your June 1st cruise but as of now, it is still not open and we are finding this cruise not very child friendly at all. But hopefully that changes! Good luck

I'm currently on Sun Princess with my 9 year-old and sadly park 19 is still not open. Also the kids club often merges the older kids with the little ones and my kiddo doesn't really like it. This is our very first cruise as a family and I booked over a year ago because of all the fun kids things they advertised which is not the reality. Unfortunately, I don't recommend Sun princess to families with kids. If your kid isn't having a great time than the parents aren't either. 😒
