It is somewhat muffled, as long as the drummer isn’t going wild. I’m able to tune it out, but I prefer it to be more quiet after 9pm. If you can wear earplugs you will be okay. Btw, I hope they repaint the balcony as we didn’t know the white paint was still wet the very first day by the railing and we walked on the deck and left foot prints all over. No signs telling us it was wet paint. So they were literally just finishing up the ship before we boarded. Ah, the new ship experience!

How is the IC and Piazza during the day?  Relaxing at all?  TIA

Looks like a really bad dance class template.

Some initial feedback posted on FB;

 

"Casino is great! *BUT- NO BAR! Who thought that was a good idea? So not only is bar service slow there, you cannot easily go get yourself a drink. Also there is only one Heads Up Holdem table that never has an open seat, no Let it Ride table and several empty Blackjack tables"

Look at this, the 3rd try inaugural of the Sun is 2/3 mediocre, at best.

we learned long ago, fool us once, shame on you. Fool us twice shame on us. Since then we have committed to "inaugural" cruises. unless it's free 😄

Here’s a video I filmed today of the ship’s beautiful casino.

Here’s a video-tour I filmed today of the ship’s restaurants, featuring delicious food and affable staff.

I am glad to see info about hearing the Piazza when just above.  THANKS!

For anybody wondering...  Even when they open the theater and the sphere,  I am thinking that there has usually been entertainment in the Piazza until about 11:00....   Isn't the last 'set' at 9:45???   Then any late-nighters would have to go to other venues.

 

I wish now I had booked a Deluxe Balcony in the Sphere...  I think that there were a few still available when we started looking to book.   Anyhow, I wasn't sure about how they would be, and we are in a Deluxe Balcony on a wider bump-out section....  Seems to be a very small balcony!

 

Wish we had put a couple of cabins on deposit!!!

They were taking out the bar in the casino on the Enchanted after our March 23 TA when our cruise ended. Not having a bar in the casino is a really bad idea - 1st for drinks and 2nd cause it is a good place for casual gamblers to meet up with people, talk and develop friendships. The only plus is that you don’t have smokers hanging out!

 

thanks for posting this.

Here’s a video I filmed today of the Sanctuary and Cabanas from the above-deck.

For those worried about the Sanctuary, this is a good YouTube video showing nice padded chairs with sea views. Weather not going to be good for getting sun next week so I personally have no interest, especially not at $99 pp.

 

 

 

 

Yeah those padded chairs are suite guests only....and they dont pay the $99 a day

Nice video but I'll never understand why they allow people to bring drinks into the pools and hot tubs. It's just nasty. 

 

Why?

They left the Sanctuary out of the Sanctuary.  It looks like the other pool decks, so it’s basically an adult pool area you have to pay to use.  Very sad.  I wonder if the designers have ever experienced Sanctuary’s on other Princess ships.  They were beautiful and special.

 

Thank you for posting this video.  It was most enlightening.

Simply because drinks should not be allowed in the pools or hot tubs. I don't need to swim or soak in a glass of Margareta mix, thank you. 

What's so difficult to finish the drink before you enter the hot tub?

[555]

New question. 

Are the cabin walls still metal like the other ships so we can bring magnets to hang items?

Do you know if it's possible to get access to the front dome deck from the front end of deck 16 corridor
