Princess Sun Princess Cruise Reviews (2024 UPDATED): Ratings of Princess Sun Princess (2024)

3.0

Great port stops but food was disappointing

I haven't been on a cruise with Princess for 8 years but I have cruised with Celebrity more recently. This year I booked the new Sun Princess from Athens to Barcelona. As with all cruises, there are good and bad points. For me, any cruise is a good cruise, but here is what I particularly liked and what I think could be changed.Boarding in Athens was very well organised. It took about 30

Sailed on this ship with my extended family. In our group we had a child, a teen, some twenty-somethings, middle aged folks and 2 octogenarians. This is my ~25th cruise and 8th on Princess.The ship furnishings are beautiful. The verandah staterooms are tastefully decorated and have a ton of storage space. The staff is friendly and the food is quite good for cruise ship food. My 8 year-old

Dreadful layout have to walk down cabin corridors to access areas of the ship. The eatery decor is like a motorway canteen no coffee machine just plastic jugs with hot water to make a drink. No one checks hand sanitiser is being used or if hands are being washed before entering the Sabatini's. The Dome and Atrium not big enough. Reserve dining is superb always hot great staff . Alfredo’s fab food

Great Cruise, but.... Ship had about 1,000 more passengers than it could handle. Very limited entertainment options, but had a fantastic band, Excite, that played several times each day. Food was fantastic and served hot, but cold by the time you could find a table in the eatery. Most surprised that they offer no pool side drink service. In 14 days, we were able to order a drink pool side

Started in Rome, embarkation was a breeze, 10 minutes From shuttle to ship, but we did arrive 12:30pm. Cabins ready at 1:30.Cabin was great. Easy up and down close to the midship elevator Food was just good.Service excellent !! Couldn’t ask for more!Cabin steward Heston, absolutely on game. Sailed with dd and family, (16 mo and 3 year old) Kids club was great, staff too. But

Reserve Class dining excellent with great hospitality and warm enthusiastic staff. Restaurant Manager Viktor was at his best! Dario's Butcher Block was not good. Very disappointing! Beef was average and the serving staff lacks knowledge on the background of the food they serve.Princess Live venue was always too small for hosting most of the popular events. Minisuite Stateroom is well

Let me start off by saying that reviews for cruises are like reviews for Dim Sum. Everyone has a different idea of what the experience should be and there are many preconceived notions that are either met fully or are truly disappointed. That being said, here are my observations coming from a 50+ wife and mother who has cruised with Princess 12-15 times in as many years with our nuclear family of

I have been on almost one hundred cruises. The sun princess was the worst cruise ever. The food was awful. The entertainment was like an high school performance. The ship has the worst layout I have ever seen. The maps on the ship do not even explain how to go. There is never enough room for people to sit during a show. The dome never had a place to sit. The restaurants we're decorated so

...

Even with Park 19 not open yet, and no sports court or permanent mini golf, we still loved our first Princess cruise and would definitely book another one based on the excellent service and the fact that it's not swarmed with children and teens (we barely saw any). We enjoyed the hammocks, the hot tubs, the movies under the stars, the silent discos, the production shows, singers, ventriloquist,

Please see my other review of the Sun Princes on my May 11th sailing. I am only writing this follow up to include second set of ports I visited on my two week cruise. Overall I loved Sun Princess service, cabin, dining, embarkation/disembarkation. However the activities and entertainment were not as enjoyable as other cruise lines especially for a younger passenger. I'm glad they are re-assigning
