We sailed on the Sun from 18-28 November. Our balcony cabin was adequate, our only complaint was the people next to us smoked and this spoiled some of our outside time. We feel balconies should be a Non smoking area also. We had the last cabin on the rear aft side and the smoke had no where to go but on our balcony. We were offered another cabin but no assurance on smoking of neighbors so stayed in our cabin.

Our ship had a generator problem and therefore we could not travel fast enough to port in St Vincent. The captain kept us appraised of the situation and everyone was given a 55 dollar ship board acct credit so our disappointment was helped some. Once the generator was fixed we sailed along fine and made all our other ports, Grenada, St Lucia, Martinique, St Thomas and Princess Cays. We had fine weather and enjoyed all our ports. Tendering in Grenada and Princess Cays was handled beautifully and was the easiest I have ever experienced on a cruise ship. We took a shore excursion in Grenada, the highlights tour. It was interesting although the van seating was very uncomfortable and the roads were in deplorable shape making for a rough ride. We went snorkeling in Martinique to the bat cave. The boat ride was fine, equipment was adequate although my size 11 husband had trouble finding fins. We had a short time at the second and better snorkeling site which was disappointing. The boat operator was not a talker and gave us little to no site information or pointed out nothing as we motored along. We were to do a northside tour and beach in St Thomas. The tour time was changed via a note to our cabin. We showed up but no one else or the tour operator ever came. We found out later the tour had left 90 minutes earlier and we had been given the wrong time. The excursion office returned our money but was not overly concerned about the screw up. We have written a letter to Princess. We arranged our own tour to Megan's Bay and had a great time. We also did our own shopping at Havensight Mall and this was an easy walk from the ship. We did touring on our own in St Lucia, Grenada and Martinique and had no problems. We had late seating and really enjoyed the traditional approach.

We found our waiters to be excellent, the food fine, presentation lovely and many choices. Princess has available every night choices and this is great if nothing hits your fancy. We ate in the Verdi pizzeria and found it wonderful. We also had meals in the Horizon court and found the choices adequate, the food good and we never had to wait long except the first day when everyone was boarding and wanted lunch at once. We had room service almost every morning and this was reasonably fast. Read more
