Sail Date: Dec 2006

We had a wonderful Christmas cruise on the Sun Princess. This was our fifth cruise on Princess, having sailed previously on the Grand, Golden (twice), and Star Princess. One nice thing about the Sun is that it's a smaller ship than the Grand-class ships. We like this size ship more, even though it does lack some of the amenities of the larger ships, such as the specialty restaurants--Sabatini's Italian and a separate Sterling Steakhouse. On the Sun Princess, there is a Sterling Steakhouse, but it is only half the Horizon Court buffet area changed over at night and not a separate venue.

Embarkation at Fort Lauderdale was slow due to the ship being cleaned more thoroughly because of an outbreak of norovirus two cruises before ours. We had to wait around 90 minutes. There was a man handing out numbered cards as you entered. Somehow he missed us. When I found out they were required and explained how we had been there half an hour already, he gave us cards for the first group of passengers. Check in was quick for us once passengers were allowed to start. We were on the ship within 10 minutes.

Our cabin was a category I inside cabin at the bow of the ship on the Aloha Deck. It was smaller than the category I cabin we had on our second Golden Princess cruise, and the layout of the cabin was more square. It had less closet space, but we managed. Each cabin has a small television, a room safe that you can program a code for, and a small refrigerator. We had room for a six-pack of drinks in the refrigerator plus a couple of small bottles. Our cabin steward kept the ice bucket well stocked. It's also kept in the refrigerator, which helps keep the ice better.
