Princess have posted a new reel showing more of the inside features under the Dome

Sadly, all I see is an avalanche of chair hogs rising early to put their stuff there for the day. I hope they enforce rules.

Those elegant lounge chairs in the dome are going to get soiled with sweat, suntan lotion, and chlorinated water during the daytime.  Interested to see if they all get cleaned thoroughly, before passengers start coming in during the evening hours for the entertainment, wearing their good clothes or formal wear.  Was this something Princess didn't think about, when they decided to make this a multifunction venue?

Probably do the same as they do for MUTS when they put covers over the recliners for the evening movies.

All I can say as I see this photos...  This is IMPRESSIVE!!!!

Let's hope it all works well and is not lost in translation.

Looks incredible for a Princess ship.

I hope some seasoned Youtube cruise vloggers are aboard on Feb 28th, and they do daily vlogs during their cruise, with lots of views aboard!  (Please, show us what you're looking at, rather than your face in every shot) TIA!

Civitavecchia’s official port schedule updated this morning for the upcoming week.

 

It has the Sun Princess arriving on the morning of 2/26. Remaining at the same dock 25 thru 2/27, likely to load all the provisions and supplies needed.
 

Sun Princess then repositions over to dock 12BN on 2/28 for the inaugural voyage. 
 

All seems like such a time crunch, but I had figured the ship would need a minimum of 2 days in Civitavecchia for preparations before the inaugural. 
 

This means we should see the ship departing Monfalcone sometime Friday. Or at the absolute latest sometime Saturday, in order to follow this published schedule for Civitavecchia.

That's interesting - for the original 8th Feb departure, Sun Princess was due to arrive in Barcelona 2 days before and they were going to have an inaugural event with VIPs and special entertainers on board.

After a few pints of beer, any pub grub is a delight/pleasure!

You obviously don't have a pool with loungers. Materials are everything resistant and last years. Ours have. Our cushions cost around $700 each though.

Another look at a restaurant onboard - here is a reel  of the Reserve Collection Restaurant. The chairs look a bit er functional.

they don't want our lard butts to get too comfortable.  Lets see what the chairs look like in Signature dining.

Horizon Dining Room. They really want to move people in and out.

Good to see and to know. It doesn't look that luxurious or cozy, it looks a bit like a modern school refectory. Not comparable to Sabatini's or Crown Grill, both of which look fantastic and warm. I give Reserve a try on the first or second night of our upcoming cruise in March. Luckely there are so many choices for diner that we can select a different venue every night during our 10 day sailing. We are spoiled :-).

Still waiting for reviews before I make my decision on our 14 day b2b in Oct/Nov.

 

On the ship stalking front there was a tugboat alongside her late last night when I checked marine traffic, maybe a fuel barge or something but would expect her to leave in the next 24 hours

For everyone on the Sun and in Reserve class cabins, I hope that those chairs are placeholders for the real thing (which are delayed but will show up eventually).
