Thanks so much. We weren’t sure how this style of ship tour you be received. We hoped that it would give people a little more insight to how the ship functions while highlighting what it great and ahead up to possible downsides of the ship in our opinion. 🛳
Have a great time! Two weeks is the perfect amount of time to really enjoy this cruise. We felt that we one week was short in order to check out the Sun has to offer.
It was built on the sane chassis as the Mardi Gras and so has many of the things we didn’t like about the Mardi Gras - mainly the size and that whole Grand Central/Piazza concept. Just more crowded on MG. We were booked on Sun Princess but after doing MG, decided these ships are just too big for us. Nice tour, btw.
We were hoping that since the Sun holds less passengers than the Marci Gras that it wouldn’t feel overwhelming crowded. After our experience on the Sun it confirmed for us that we would not enjoy the Marci Gras class of Carnival ships.
Thank you for such an insightful commentary. We have been on one Princess cruise before and have heard the same reactions about the new Sun Princess. We’re traveling with a group of six and we feel as though we’re going to be disappointed about crowds on the ship when we’re paying to enjoy all the amenities.
It is a beautiful ship and we had a wonderful time. Just make sure to plan ahead if you are trying to find space for six people at each venue you go to. Hope you have a marvellous cruise.🛳
We are a big fan of the cocktails at the Good Spirits bar. What are you thinking of trying? Mrs.Canuck is a fan of their Gin & Tonic Ultima and the Butterfly. Mr.Canuck’s favourite cocktail is Bangkok Mule and Butterfly
The Wheelhouse Bar is just outside of the Crown Grill. It is smaller than any other Wheelhouse Bars that we have seen on Princess. It is missing an area for live music. We were never able to get a seat there when we were onboard.
I thought premier package included ability to make reservations for the shows. I haven’t heard anyone mention this. Do you know if they have this feature ? Cruising this ship in March worried about seeing the shows!
The put covers on some seats that they hold for people with the premier package. They were off to the side when we were there. They are first come serve to get them. We were there26 minutes before show time and had to seat third row to the back door. They were definitely not good seats in our opinion.
What were they thinking with that theater? Sky has 3000 plus passengers and the theater only accommodates 963 people. Meaning that with two shows, it would be impossible for everyone to see the show. You have to show up 30-45 minutes in advance just to secure a decent spot. How on earth could they make it worse with their next generation offering? Thanks for the great video though!
I don't like the idea of feeling the ship rock, I'm usually ok but on our Alaska on Konningsdam i had a rough night but on the smaller ships in the same area i was fine makes you wonder if its a size thing even with the stabilizers may not be enough
We will be sailing on Jan 4th, so I have been watching many videos. I haven’t heard anyone else speak about this issue, so I’m wondering if there was a problem with the stabilizer on this particular cruise.
We thought exactly what you were thinking about the stabilizers. We are happy to report from other Canucklings that stayed on board after we left that whatever the issue was on our voyage it has been resolved. They reported the their second week was quite literally “smooth sailing”!🛳
@@CruisingCanucks Unbelievable--your vlogs are so professional. well produced and you two appear to have had acting/public speaking experience. Both of you are so comfortable in front of a camera--WELL DONE
Thank you very much. Neither one of us as experience in field. We stride to be ourselves even with a camera on so that people can get a real experience.🛳
I know you stated that you weren’t casino people, but it doesn’t take much gambling at all to get a free interior cabin (that can normally be used for up to 3 cruises). I’ve never lost more than $500 , and get all the “free” cruises I can take. Occasionally, like for Black Friday Princess will upgrade an interior to a balcony.
This is by far the worst Princess ship we spent 21 days on her venues are all to small lines of people everywhere even to try and get a coffee so many people om board we couldn't even sit up at the pools and the music at the pool and in the atrium is so loud its hard to have a conversation people on our cruise with cabins near the atrium complained of not being able to sleep .The whole cruise felt like being on a Carnival cruise ship if you love Princess we could never recommend this ship its so disappointing
We did have many times when we were onboard that we turned to each other and said that we felt like we were a Carnival ship. We experienced many of the same things that you mentioned.🛳
Your style of presenting the cruise ship is excellent! Thank you Jill and Jerry!
Very authentic and professional. I love this channel.
Thanks! We had a fun time exploring this ship.
She is beautiful. Thanks for sharing. We are taking our first Princess cruise in January. Cannot wait to try the cruise line for the first time.
We hope you enjoy your first time on this wonderful cruise line. 🛳
Thanks for this great review
You’re welcome! We were so excited to share our journey.
Thank you for another great ship tour! We really enjoy the format of your tours, it gives us a perfect idea of what to expect.

Thanks for the tour. Looking forward to our first two weeks on the Sun Princess in Feb. after the group cruise. Cheers.
March 1 for two weeks…..
Have a great time! Two weeks is the perfect amount of time to really enjoy this cruise. We felt that we one week was short in order to check out the Sun has to offer.
Jill and Jerry, love your channel. Keep it up. Really do like both your personalities. Happy holidays to you and yours.
We're so glad you enjoy our videos. Happy Holidays to you and your family as well.

Love your videos. Sailing Sun Princess on Jan 4th.
Favorite drink at Good Spirits (both of you)?

Thanks for the video. We booked the Sun in 2026. You didn't show the Wheelhouse bar. What is it like ?
The Wheelhouse Bar is just outside of the Crown Grill. It is smaller than any other Wheelhouse Bars that we have seen on Princess. It is missing an area for live music. We were never able to get a seat there when we were onboard.
Great tour!! 🥳
We're glad you enjoyed it!🛳

Would be helpful if you could superimpose the deck number as well as the maple leaf
That’s a great idea and we’ll try to add that in future videos.

It definitely feels like it needs to be bigger. Unfortunately it currently doesn’t accommodate the amount of passengers that wish to see the shows.
I am still confused on Mr. Canucks diet lol he’s talking about vegetarian meals and then telling me how good the pizza and calzones are 😂
He does have a unique palette for what he likes!🤣

Happy to report that the issue has been resolved.
How long have you been producing cruise vlogs???
We are coming up on our third year of vlogging.🛳

We're not that good at gambling, so we'd rather not try our luck! 😅 Glad it works for you!! Great deal.
