Derek, you blew this ship tour out of the water! This is your best one yet. You keep improving each time. I am so excited to sail her next year! Usually princess ships are small and personable, so Sun Princess seems like a lot to take in! She's incredible, though!
We are booked on here in march. Can’t wait!! First princess cruise for us!
You are going to love Princess! ⚓ ⛴
I was on a cruise in the Sun Princess in August, we went from Barcelona to Rome. After watching this i am going back, i miss this ship so much. Happy days 👍
would rather have Princess stay as is for empty nesters and seniors. I have raised my two daughters and enjoy a cruise without little ones around me. They are 44 and 42 now and I take them on Princess Cruise lines as my guests. Me, my daughter and son-in-law will be on this ship in April 2025.
There is something seriously wrong with the management at RCI and Carnival and those immediately running Princess and Celebrity with the way they've designed their new class of ships. I think it's just a matter of time before they do the same thing with HAL. We don't always need to go younger. It's OK to have a ship for discerning 30 smoethings to 80s and with the majority being 55 plus. When I was 40 I enjoyed what the so-called "older" generation did so not all people of any generation want the same thing. I don't mind a few kids but the ship should feel mature if it is so-called "premium" and Princess and Celebrity are getting away from that.
I was supposed to be on this cruise in September because of my family health crisis I had to cancel want to cruise. This is the best video I have ever seen Derek.
We are booked for this ship in December. Thank you for this tour.
You’re most welcome! We hope you have a great cruise.
Wonderful video, Eric, we appreciate you taking the time to explore this ship and share it with all of us. Our cruise is out of Barcelona in 13 days, we are doing a B2B, so I was thirsty for this info on a brand new ship. Thanks!
When ever we get to sail the Sun Princess. I will spend most of my time in the dome and adult area
Great ship tour! Going to have to sail on this ship. Thanks for taking the time from your vacation to give us a great video.
Great video, we are booked on HER for a 9 day cruise Athens to Istanbul July 2025. Can’t wait. Found your video very helpful.
Thanks for the great tour. We’re using it to see what our 2026 cruise on the Star Princess will look like.
I needed to see you enjoy that bbq. Made me smile despite the terrible sadness of this week in Georgia.
I have a Mediterranean 2025 cruise booked on this ship and so excited to see your tour! The Dome and in front outdoor area look amazing.
thank you for taking us along with you on that tour of the sun princess we just got off the enchanted princess. And I can see the difference in the O’Malley bar because on the enchanted princess they didn’t have the doors and you can walk in and I’ve seen people walk on both sides, so this is great but it looks so nice and shiny like the enchanted princess. Thank you very much.❤❤❤❤
So many beautiful new ships!
New subscriber. Definitely taking a look at this possible ship.
Welcome aboard! Thanks for taking a few minutes to check out our content.
Fantastic tour! Honest and very informative! 🎉❤
Great video Derek. That's our next cruise when she comes to the US we'll be booking with you. We're doing a transatlantic from Spain to Florida in 50 days so when we get back we're on it. Thanks Derek
Just a small observation. You keep saying Instabul. It’s Istanbul!
The International cafe usually has free deserts and snacks as well as some pay for options. This was a great tour! I have sailed on the Prima in the North Sea to Iceland and I was very disappointed in it, it was too cold to enjoy the outside common areas and the inside venues were too small. I also felt like the cabin (inside) on the Jubilee was the smallest cabin I have ever been in. I did like the common areas of the Jubilee. This looks like a fabulous ship! I will definitely try and sail on her. Thanks again.
Great tour. Looks like a ship I might enjoy.
The "solarium" space was not indicated to be adults-only when Sun launched. Has this changed?
I think that when Princess are replacing the Park 19 features that they do so with more attractions for older mature cruisers and not kids. There is a saturation of cruise ships with mega amounts of kids attractions to downright circus playground. Give the older cruisers more to choose from. There is a lot of money out there in the "baby boomer" group that are willing to spend big dollars for the right features.
What are examples of what attractions for older cruisers would look like?
I like this ship especially since I don't have kids. This would be perfect for me. Loving the dome.
Absolutely Gorgeous!!
My family and I will be on the Sun Princess 2/22/25 and I can’t wait!!! But I want to know if the drink 🍷 package is worth it??
Thanks
We have a reservation at Spellbound and will go to some specialty dining. We do not have any package, but since we dont drink it will be cheaper to do things a la carte. Sailing in a month!!
They should add an arcade, basketball court, and golf
Thanks for video, very informative!
I've only cruised on Carnival but would like to give Princess or Celebrity a try. My wife and I are in our 50s and Carnival is a little "too much fun" for us. Looking for a more laid back cruise
We love Princess. Lots of cruisers in their 50s-70's. Active people for the most part (especially on TA and Europe or UK). More EU and UK travelers who are friendly- we have made some good friends. Give it a try. (And the children, less of them, are always well-behaved- no crazy running about, out of control.) It's the right price point for us, too.
Thank you for the tour.💜
Awesome video but I prefer Princess stay as is. This isn’t a family marketed cruise which I love. There are many cruise lines out there catering to families which is great!
Thanks for the video. We are torn on our next cruise choice. If you had to choose between the Carnival Jubille and the Sun Princess, which would you choose if money was no option? We travel with no children but enjoy both lines. The itenerary would both be caribbean.
Is somebody know at what time are the 2 shows each night?is it 7pm or 7:30pm or 8pm?
We're in our late 50s and we always stay away from ships that caters to kids. Kids are great but from a great great great distance.
You should have been on recently 800 on sky princess
I can’t lie. I’m not sad Park 19 is going away. The reason I love Princess is because it ISN’T a cruise line marketed to families. It makes it a more relaxed experience for us older folks. I’m excited about getting the huge ship experience without massive numbers of kids running around. It’s not that we don’t like kids (we have kids and grandkids) we just don’t want to share our cruise with them.

Nice video! My problem with this ship is that the ship is so nice I may not want to get off to see the ports!
What month were you there? We are going in Late April 2025 and wondered how cold or warm the weather was in Europe?
I do not want to see the cruise line turn to more family cruise line. We have enough of those already.
We are 54. Love our Grandchildren but would love for a cruise ship to offer all adult cruises. Besides Virgin. So away with the kids stuff. How about a lazy river with a bar.
Is the dome adults only space too?
I used mine everyday for stretching on the diamond princess
No kids around, thanks!
Does anyone ever show the accomadation
How do I find your Facebook page? Or a link to book a cruise?
Do you have a website?
Very deep and comprehensive video, and certainly appreciate that. I am bummed to hear that they’re removing the kids activities such as the slides from the ships. Two points of recommendation for your videos, one. I get that it’s a long video, but please stop begging for engagement every five minutes, it’s a little annoying. Secondly, I was about to quit your video two minutes in after hearing you butcher Istanbul by calling it Insta bull.
The whole reason my family booked this ship was because of park 19 so now my daughter has zero to do
I thought OMalley’s is Casual, no?
It should be casual attire.
I’m sorry to correct you but it’s Istanbul not Instabul. As a TA you need to know. Great tour though.
No worries at all! I I need to enunciate better over my southern accent.
Booked the Sun Princess for January 2025
This is not an Excel class ship Sun and her sister Star are Sphere class a new custom class for Princess Cruise lines
They are indeed in the Sphere class as I referenced in the first 90 seconds of the video. They are also part of the Excel class of ship from the Carnival Corporation perspective. The company has now built or will build over 10 of these ships. The ships have just about the same specs as far as size, but each brand has the freedom and flexibility to design as they see fit.
@@IslandTimeTravel this is incorrect my friend. Excel and sphere are two totally different ship classes, sharing almost nothing in terms of naval architecture in common.
They are two classes from two cruise brands, but considered the same overall class by parent company Carnival Corporation. Take a look at this press release from Carnival Corporation. www.carnivalcorp.com/news-releases/news-release-details/carnival-corporation-orders-additional-excel-class-ship-carnival
Never heard Istanbul pronounced the way you do lol
The Southern draw gets me!
Sounds like he's saying instabul. It's IS TAN BUL.
Thanks for the review
Nice video, beautiful ship, but narrator says the word “cool” too much.
IMO - He should find another word to use.
Thanks for taking time to leave your feedback. Cool review!
Is there no nightclub on this ship?
It’s kind of odd, but it’s in the Piazza area that’s used as the atrium.
@IslandTimeTravel weird. No Skywalkers eh. Weird.
@@IslandTimeTravel so is it open to everyone? Even kids?
Being a certain age has its advantages in that you see things come and go. So when we get into trends, you have the perspective that some trends you like, some you don't, some you kind of judge as good, others not so much. There is a trend in modern design, or say the current design, to want to lighten and brighten so many spaces. There's nothing different here compared to the NCL Prima, the Celebrity Edge class, the color palette is you can say taupe with some muted colors or greige or whatever you want to. Since ships are often early evening to night time activities, then this lightness and brightness is for what, exactly? I don't find this decor that appealing and prefer a deeper color palette. It's not that I like contemporary vs. traditional. Good design is good design because the spaces invite or evoke certain feelings and activites. So you can go about it using various styles. To me OMalley's, Spellbound and the Japanese restaurant have the deeper colors. But function? If you see a lot of lines, something is wrong. If you think a space seems loud or has an echo, something's wrong. If you have trouble finding areas, the signage or the flow is wrong.
So, if you ask what is Princess and in any era, there is no "new generation" thing. That's nonsense. That's a way to justify revenue enhancements and limit a product in the name of so-called good business. We live in cycles where we all are the new generation and we become the middle age generation and then the "older" generation and then seniors. Do our tastes change? Sometimes. Sometimes not. Of course there are new technlogies. And how long do they last? Not all that long. All that seems so new now in this ship will be commonplace in a few years and then old tech by the time the next gen comes out in 8-10 years.
Acrobats are all the rage now. Stadium atria or tiered stuff. Hence the dome that shuts down daily and throws people out of it. Ship within a ship classism that we thought we were done with is back. This Sun Princess is trendy and it actually deletes some spaces from ships people have come to seek out. Is that good? I don't like the Celebrity Edge class because it deleted spaces and it is a generic, Celebrity-ized modern ship. This looks like a Princess-ized modern ship rather than a Princess ship.
It’s IN-STAN-BUL not Instabul!
Indeed it is!
Too many stairs!!yikes!
On the ship right now boring. They advertised a show that's been canceled. Park 19 is cancelled dinner service take 2 hours. Pool says it's 3'8 and it's not if you are under 5'5and can not swim be careful. I'm 6'0 and the water was at my chin. If You're under 60 years old or a family this ship isn't for you
Stop shouting 😤
Scream it from the rooftops!
this ship is so boring, it's like an outlet mall which is running of business, the worst ship design ever i've seen.
A lot of these contemporary ships are boring. I thought the Celebrity Edge class was boring but this one may be even more boring. why in the world are they all using this nondescript furnishings, gray/taupe/beige everywhere look and that soft but sterile lighting. Where is the richness that Princess, Celebrity once had? But at least the Celebrity ships look finished. This looks unfinished. I don't mean to knock Princess and maybe some areas of the ship are OK once you are on it but they could have done much better. Be different, not trendy.
