Sun Princess Reviews
View Cruise DealsVery good, despite having difficult booking experience.
Cabin was good, may be smaller than we had before. Restaurants were good, some better than others. Food was good.
The whole experience was a joy mainly made so good by the excellent staff. The cruise director Cole in particular was so full of energy fun and excitement throughout the whole holiday working tirelessly to make sure everyone felt special and enjoying their holidays.
Great itinerary with some winter sun stops, and some sea days. Nice to finish on a double sea day to really relax without the worry about getting up early to explore. Boat was clean and fresh, with crew always scrubbing a hand rail or the grout in the floor tiles. The medalians and app made it really easy to find other party members and to contact them. Would recommend Princess.
Loved the Sun Princess was an amazing ship and state of the art . Beds so comfortable. All crew were amazing . Entertainment staff and shows amazing . Even with all this I think I prefer a smaller ship.
The Sun Princess is a new modern ship with a few drawbacks. Because of its capacity to have 4500 passengers the end result is an extremely crowded, noisy pool area. (Sun beds have no mattress and become uncomfortable). Dinning areas are busy and you often search for a table. The left overs on plates are gathered at stations amongst the diners in full view. On a two week cruise the entertainment is a repeat of the first. Although the theatre shows were good a two week rolling programme would be more appropriate. Lastly the “Dome” feature was a nice area but underused for evening entertainment that did not live up to the hype. As a result we would definitely prefer to travel on a smaller ship that was better organised in the above mentioned areas.
Hotels both very good, comfortable beds and good size room. Hotels both to far out of the centre of the cities .
Flights OK, Special Assistance was not booked by Iglu as promised, either way. Holiday taxis failed to pick us up at the airport or at the hotel to the ship. Utter shambles. Princess plus package bought at booking was 70% cheaper if bought on the ship. Good room and balcony but running the cruise as new every 7 days was not for us. Entertainment was repeated and aimed at a younger clientele. Food was repetitive and not up to past standards. Will never book flights through Iglu again as both flights were late in the day and left us waiting for hours at the airport.
The ship was great, it was clean and there was plenty of things to do. The medallion service was superb and meant you could order drinks and snacks almost anywhere on the ship. The staff at the restaurant where we had our evening meal were absolutely wonderful. The staff in the bars were great, although for better service there should have been more waiters to ensure a good service.
The use & ease of medallion was very good. Excellent to be able to order food and drink no matter where you where on the ship was excellent. The crew and food where amazing especially in the Irish bar, O'Malley's, the MDR being the worst. The ships is beautiful but did not like the layout that did not seem to flow right as per other cruise ships we have been on. Also there was only 2 washing machines and 2 dryers per deck which caused queuing due to other guests being on longer cruise. Apart from these minor niggles we had a lovely cruise but would maybe look at a different Princess ship if we consider using this brand again.
