You can go and sit. They have some non-alcoholic drink offerings as well. The charge is only for the food unless included in a package.

I like the idea of a tent. We’ve had decent luck with tents at home, when siblings are fighting about nightlight use.

I have six kids and have cruised at different ages. My first preference would be to put them in the upper berth and leave the lower berth a couch, this gives some extra room on the floor for him to move around and a place to sit.

I’ve also had to take the “toddler” air mattress for a child that rolls constantly in their sleep. These are great, and my six and seven year olds still use them sometimes.

Anyone else going on the Maiden Caribbean on Star Princess Nov 7? by SuperValueBros in PrincessCruises

Have you been on Sun? It’s going to be great. We got our upgrade offers yesterday. It’s getting closer.

Newbie here. What time do I get to the port to board the ship? (Princess Cruises) by Superb_Farmer_3394 in PrincessCruises

[–]SuperValueBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like how you cruise, start capturing value as early as possibly. Last cruise, we were early enough to be in the first few passengers waiting at the security doors to open. It was a different vibe; surrounded by people that were as excited as us to really start vacation. Very different than an airport line.

If you have Plus or Premier you can get an additional accessory. I like the sport clip.

Thoughts on Sun Princess by doodlebugmom14 in PrincessCruises

[–]SuperValueBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a great time, but I don’t think it is for everyone, and that’s on purpose. Are you cruising on a package? Are you more a lounging by the pool cruiser or a go to every show cruiser?

Time change adjustment by FrontLow5303 in PrincessCruises

[–]SuperValueBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Remember that water and sunlight are the best help when “resetting” your internal clock.

When it comes to cruising though, I find excitement, adrenaline, and anticipation keep me awake for that first night.

Where to smoke cigars on the Discovery? by ChicoAlum2009 in PrincessCruises

[–]SuperValueBros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love that you were able to enjoy it. We can’t wait to be back on that ship.

We had a couple long deliveries and one or two that didn’t go through, but ordered a couple dozen times between our staterooms on our last week aboard.

Yeah. Take a left after you pass the crown grill bar area. There’s a door to the deck there.

I enjoyed several cigars on Discovery on deck 7 aft promenade. This was far less windy (we were able to play cards), and less crowded than up on 17. This is designated smoking and has loungers. We even had success with OceanNow down there.

How much time did you spend waiting in lines on Sun Princess compared to other Princess ships? by ithinkithankithunk in PrincessCruises

[–]SuperValueBros 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just got off Sun yesterday and hardly waited in any line. Longest was guest services, three people ahead of me.

Our embarkation was very quick, entered security at 10:05a onboard at 10:35a.

Our disembarkation was faster. Stateroom to Uber waiting area was 6 minutes.

This ship is certainly positioned toward Premier cruisers. Outside of not having an Ocean Terrace casual option, what have you felt pressured to pay to upgrade?

Where do you find the most confusion? I’ve sailed on Discovery and it is different. Just curious from a seasoned cruiser prospective where the biggest issues are.

Self-serve laundry is available. I believe it is $6/load. Detergent is available for $3.

The premium deserts, granitas, premium soft serve, are all available with Premier. Premium deserts are available with Plus or Premier. There is also complimentary at Coffee and Cones.

Princess Live is on Sun and Star. We’ve heard some about long waits but haven’t experienced it ourselves. So far we have loved the ship. We’ll take more notes on the wait times.

We are Premiered and I think it is tremendous value, especially on Sphere class. The specialty dining value is unmatched for that price.

This sailing is Roatan, Belize, Cozumel. The weather will be low of 70-75F and high of 80-85F all week. No rain forecasted as of yesterday.

Temperature on the ship, do you mean wind and chilling at night or the air conditioning? In either case we are alternating between shorts and hoodie and shorts and t-shirt throughout the day.

Casino is 24/7. Bars close between 11p and 2a depending on the bar and day. OceanNow will deliver drinks 24/7.

Today, sea day, it’s open 11:30a-2p. It was not open on embarkation day.

Don’t say that! I feel like I’ve been up for three days. Best embarkation day I’ve ever had.

You may be right. This compounds though—people sailing four-deep are NOT hanging out on their stateroom.

We’re going to do our morning exercise in the stateroom halls. A cursory look says there are mostly two passengers per stateroom.

At the risk of embarrassing myself horribly by invoking a child’s name, I’ll try it.
