  1. I also do not appreciate that for me, but it is REALLY HUGE wherever it is offered.
  2. One important question besides everything else: How is the food? It looks good on the photos, but sadly that does not necessarily mean much anymore.
  3. I am really, really curious how my first Princess cruise on the Sun will compare to Celebrity. I loved the Equinox til she started getting neglected. She is cozy and homesy, somewhat more oldschool. My last trip was on Edge, and I finally got used to that concept and its liveliness. I started to like it after all resistance. Now I see all the pictures from Sun, and she appears to be more cozy and homesy again. This will be a hard seven monthts of waiting to find out.
  4. Believing that people pay that on cruise lines other than Silversea, Regent etc. is giving me chills. Nothing I can imagine getting from Princess or let´s say Celebrity could ever justify that. I understand that the few days of vacation that most US employees get, make those days their holy grail - but still... During Covid, Silversea offered me 12 days (or was it even 14?) on Silver Moon in their highest category as a solo traveler with 5 ports for about 3700 $ - and not per day. Nuts.
  5. Glad I chose a boring trip. Will spend much time there instead of tourist trap harbor shops.
  6. Did i already miss photos of a CA cabin located in the Sphere? Would be interested in how the balcony looks.
  7. Yeah. I am on deck 12 now. No Reserve Collection gadgets, but at least free views. And I can see the cabana deck from above.
  8. My question was how to identify the Reserve Collection mini-suites. But I guess I figured that out now, I would have needed to book C1 or C2. Not CA. Oh 😨
  9. Does anyone understand which cabana mini-suites are entitled for the Reserve Collection?
  10. I am finding it funny how, talking about an industry that is able to sell people a thing like Icon OTS as vacation, large portions of cruise folks believe that one, ten, a hundred or a thousand complaints from private persons matter to members of that industry at all. Let me compare this to my job. I work for one of the top 5 biggest logistics providers in the world. Like cruise lines moving hundreds of passengers each day, we move a seven to eight digit count of shipments every day. I mean per day on a daily basis. If General Motors or Apple or Tesla file a complaint with us, everybody gets moving and moves mountains. But if John Doe´s Bricklayer & Sons from Nowhere Valley files a complain... Well, someone will take care some given day. But if John Doe decides he never wants to work with us again, he is forgotten the next day. And I strongly believe it´s the same thing with global players like Carnival and RCL. They know John Doe will come back some day, no matter what they did to him before. We are John Doe.
  11. LNG is like a car crash at 100 mph but your seatbelt is made of bamboo, at least. Greenwashing at its best / worst. I was just wondering if I will need conditioner and body lotion when the shower water is oily, anyway. How are they going to flush Diesel out of miles and miles of drinking water pipes within a few days? Hope that shoot is gone til October. This mess made me click the Celebrity website again.
  12. And this is why cruise lines should build their ships with Meyer Shipyards as long as some of our German economy still is available. Ridiculous. Hope my trip in October will not be the maiden voyage.
  13. As a used-to-be avid Celebrity guest, I feel Princess is super underperforming in marketing the new ship class. What an ado was made about Edge class. What I see from Princess, is giving me "Carnival spits out a new ship class for their medium luxury brand, check it out or leave it be" vibes. And maybe that is what´s actually going on inside of Princess / Carnival. They do not appear to be super crazy mad happy to present a new ship class. Like "people will buy it anyway".
  14. Is there an overview for a Princess first timer which venues and events will need to be looked after (reservations etc.)? I am booked as Standard til now.
  15. Hi fellow cruisers. My cruise in October 2024 from FLL will be part of a long trip through several states. By its starting date, I will have traveled CA and HI. You can imagine that, on a Princess cruise, I do not want to dress and look like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. I could use one suitcase for the CA and HI part and another one, with better clothing, for the cruise. The second one should rather not have been carried around for weeks when I board, so I was thinking I could just courier / FedEx it to my FLL hotel before the cruise and pick it up there. Has anyone done this before? Does anyone know hotels accepting this? Any constructive input would be appreciated, thank you.
