Ship Reviews

Princess Sun Princess Cay/ San Juan/ St. Thomas Senior/ Elite / Category CA Cabana mini In the bubble on the port side. Flew in Saturday stayed at Hyatt Place on 10th. Shuttle $8 to hotel $10 to ship. Nice place stayed here before with Hyatt Points. Sign up for shuttle when you arrive. Very limited drink selection at bar. Had dinner at nice Italian Restaurant across from parking lot. $$$ End of cold snap and was 60s 70s first two days on ship. The entire ship was cool all trip so bring a light sweater. Long line to get in but it moved quite fast and we were on board real quick. It was Super Bowl and everybody was getting seats. We watched from room. I prebooked way early two dinners and they have you pay ahead of time on line. Teppanyaki and Crown Grill. Everybody had trouble with the restaurants on the app, on line , on the phone. There were actually empty seats at Tepp and we went to Crown early so they moved us around. We also tried the Sabatinis wine dinner which was $99 PP. Was nice but maybe overpriced?? Had breakfast and lunch at Eatery , Busy, they serve you . The OJ was watery. Food good. Can never figure out why the eggs and toast are never near each other?? Had two room service Bfst no charge. Coffee and doughnut in the Piazza. Burgers /pizza at the pool deck. Also had burgers brought to us at the pool via the app. Worked fine. The tips for the dinners are not charged at time of booking . They show up as "on board service charge" on you folio. Check your folio on the app. click your photo scroll down to folio. Tuesday sea day Formal night . Deal or no deal in the Piazza. Our go to bar was Crooners with a little extra tip up front service was great all week. See Carl and Dee. Back to the Eatery/ the Americana grill is same level aft . There is an outside area there where I saw people reading, playing cards etc. quiet place overlooking the aft infinity pool area which had two small hot tubs also. San Juan. Been there done that. Don't do well on walking tours so we did it on our own. We to Barrachina for lunch which is super popular with a line to get in. We sat at the bar (seats 10) so no waiting. Famous for Pina Coletta so we had two . We walked there with occasional stops at jewelry stores to break the pace. Yes there was a lady with me, how'd you guess?? Saw two comedy shows, one in the forward theater which was packed. people standing. Other in the Princess live bar. Dinner that night was MDR which had Italian night which I researched. Friday is always surf and turf with extra surf for $15. My lady doesn't like fish so we switched two steaks and two lobsters. My departed wife once had three lobsters in MDR which is probably why they now charge. Blame her. St. Thomas. We booked an excursion to St. Johns which was $125pp. They charge it to your folio. It's normally at 830 AM which I didn't like but they moved it to 1130. just for me? Ha Ha. So line up on the pier at 11ish walk 4 blocks to ferry. 45minute ferry ride to Island. Board shuttle to beach 1/2 hour ride. Beach time 1 1/2 hour the back to ship about 4ish. Not worth it for me. Visited the casino I lost a little she came out ahead. No smoking area. The ship has 4 elevator shafts. The elevators are different. You push the button of the floor you want and the elevator letter shows up on screen. A thru F. Ship beautiful room extra large with large balcony and sitting area with second TV. Laundry on each floor. I had a free bag for Elite. Halo lights go on at night when you get up and the bathroom light goes on also when you approach. Neato. Food was good throughout . Beef was great. We did agree, 4 of us that the drinks were light. We know our limits. Zumba classes in the Piazza. White night and dress up same night. Bring magnets and extra pen for the room. No pen and pad in room.
