Come feel the love on the cruise vacation of your dreams. Because here, the sun revolves around you.
I travelled solo on the Sun Princess on a Western Mediterrean cruise sailing from Barcelona to Rome. It was a great itinerary calling at Palma, Marseille, Ajaccio, Genoa , Santa Margherita and La Spezia,. All great ports with plenty to see and do. I had a deluxe balcony cabin which was spacious with plenty of storage space for two people. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever had on a cruise but still perfectly adequate for one person at a time. Embarkation was quick and efficient - hotel to on board in 28 minutes (because I had printed my luggage tags in advance). The ship is amazing with so many beautiful public spaces. The piazza (main atrium) is a bit underwhelming compared to some other ships but a great space for entertainment. The food is the best food I've ever eaten on a cruise, although the main dining room portions are on the small side. There are so many options included in the cruise fare. The burgers from the Lido Grill are delicious. I ate at the Crown Grill one evening and it was a delicious meal. The buffet offered good food and a good range but it was the most chaotic buffet I've ever experienced. The area just isn't big enough to accommodate the number of people wishing to use it. I sailed on the Princess Plus fare so drinks up to $15 were included. If it's more than $15 you just pay the difference. There was enough available for me but the Princess Premier fare provides an even greater range. If you are a big drinker you may find the range limited. The staff are brillant. Always immaculately turned out, always happy and offering a greeting and nothing is too much trouble. They all work so hard, you never see them standing still. My room attendant kept my cabin immaculate for the week. I didn't go to any shows on board as the intinerary was exhausting, but the musical acts on the pool deck and piazza were amazing. I particularly enjoyed the saxophonist. Why four and a half stars? I knocked half a star off for the chaotic buffet and small MDR portions. I'd sail on the Sun Princess again in a heartbeat
We were on for the full 21 days. I was nervous because we had never been on a ship that long & had never sailed with Princess. We booked the Sanctuary, best decision ever. We felt the Sanctuary restaurant was even better than the specialty restaurants. Sebastion, the manager, checked with us daily to make sure everything was good. The hostess, Wadee, was professional & sweet. Our server, Valentin & his crew, were the BEST! 5 star service! He was professional, funny & we learned to trust his recommendations, even off ship. He definitely provided exceptional service! The sanctuary pool was a relaxing haven. Our only complaint was our room location, below the weight room! Even earplugs did not help due to the vibration when the weights were slammed down at 6 am every morning. Avoid room 17404 at all cost! It should not be sanctuary & should be steeply discounted! While on board we watched Love Boat & in season 1 a couple booked the "boom boom room" called that because it was above the engines & truly noisy but was the cheapest. We started calling our room the boom boom room & actually went to the pool to nap daily. It did decrease our enjoyment in the cruise because we just couldn't stay up for late night activities after a while. The noise would last up to 11 pm but less people were up there so wasn't as bad. Also note, you do not get access to the Sanctuary lounge. While this is a huge ship with at least 4000 guests the only time it was a little crowded was the comedians in Princess Live (really should be in the Arena) & the 3 levels of the Atrium could get quite full during game shows. The activities were varied & fun. Didn't love the bands but mainly because they were terrible at 80s music & the DJ did not just play real 80s music, just mixes. The best option on 80s was the silent disco but it only happened on 80s night the first week of our cruise. Cruise director crew was so fun! Simon was the best cruise director we've ever experienced. The captain was the most informative captain we've ever had & so funny! I was one of the "160" people who listened to all his announcements. (he always changed that number). If you can walk 1/2 to 1 mile, do not book the Princess shuttle in Corfu. $15 & total waste of money! We felt ripped off on that one. We had some of the best serv ice ever, even in the buffet. Amazing cruise overall even with the cabin location. Go just do not book that cabin or the ones on the either side! I did not lower my rating because the crew was just so amazing!
