Sun Princess

Sun Princess is Princess Cruises’ boldest ship yet — and while it’s packed with potential, it’s not quite there yet. We loved the modern design, spacious outdoor areas, and the gorgeous Dome and Sphere spaces that make this ship really stand out. The food was mostly excellent, especially the pizza and Alfredo’s, but breakfast options were surprisingly limited. Service was friendly but often felt understaffed, and several venues were still unfinished or closed. Tech like the Medallion app was buggy, and the ship’s layout made it tricky to navigate. That said, our cabin was comfortable, the Sanctuary hot tubs were a treat, and the vibe overall was more relaxed and refined than older Princess ships. Sun Princess feels like a new direction — more resort-style, less traditional cruising. If Princess can iron out the kinks, this could become a truly fantastic ship. But right now, it’s a bit of a work in progress.
