Review summary

Would never go on a boat for first time. Wish we knew. Horrible food, the boat constantly rocked more than any other boat I have been on for being how big it is. There were no trash cans in the boat and the restrooms were hidden. There was no entertainment and to get a seat in the piazza you had to wait around for forever to save a seat or fight the crowd. It wasn’t worth the fight after the 3rd day when the shoes or music was not great. We should have gotten more credit or free things being the first sailers. Would not recommend this cruise ship to anyone.

If you do I this far from town, there needs to be a free shuttle. You pay so much to get on the boat and go to the ports, the ship should get a buss free for passengers to actually see the town and not have to pay over $20 just to go into town.

Elevators took forever to get from the 10th floor to floor 6. We ended up having to take the stairs with a small baby and our luggage. We get all the way to 6 to be told there is no way to get off. To go back up to 7 and find out how to get off the boat. We go back up to 7 and walk all through the shops with our stuff just to be told they don’t know. Then we exit the boat on our own since nobody knew.

The Sun Princess is a ship not a boat. There are no floors, only decks!

Plenty of seasoned cruisers have also been disappointed with Sun Princess. You are not alone. Thanks for sharing a review here.

You should take land based vacations, cruising is not for you.
