Hi Sheri ! Marcia here ;-) I adore your room video as you narrate when it's needed and let silence reign so the viewers can concentrate on the visuals. GREAT tour, great improved deluxe balcony room too. I love the 3-seat full size couch that make this stateroom akin to a mini-suite on their other class ships. ADORE the glass shower door versus Princess's former shower curtain -- the one that attempts to mummify us while we shower 🙂 The soothing color pallet of the room seals the deal. Looking forward to many more Sun Princess videos from you, you little cutie pie you !!! Cheers !!! M.
Great room tour... thanks Sheri! That looks Ahhmazing. Love the thoughtful power outlets (finally!) I also love that there's not table lamps bolted down to the bedside tables anymore... more room for "stuff"! And my favorite.... SHOWER DOORS!! Can't wait to sail on her and her sister Star when she launches next year!
I have cruised exclusively with Princess and have booked a Carribean cruise in March 2025. I am looking forward to the Sun ship and new design. Thank you for the great video that gives me an idea of what's to come.
Great job Sheri you knocked it out of the park Mr. CruiseTipsTV job security is not safe anymore lol thank you for the tour of the cabin and the balcony very nice
Sherry,, we will be on-board in May with a Deluxe Balcony on deck 15. I am impressed with the actual drawers in the closet (below the safe) instead of open shelves. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for this. You are absolutely delightful. My girlfriend and I will be in a deluxe balcony (16310) on Sun Princess sailing out of Rome on April 17rh and are really excited. She had sailed on Princess once before and this will be my first time I am so excited. You have a new subscriber!🙂
That was a great cabin tour - thank you! We are on Sun Princess, but not until February of 2026 sailing out of Fort Lauderdale to the Eastern and Western Caribbean.
Wow, such a beautiful looking cabin. They made several great changes. I immediately noticed that the cabin numbers don’t have deck letter (R-Riviera) but instead shows as deck number (14212 instead of R212). I’m glad you mentioned the couch/bed configuration because I was wondering if it was like that in all cabins. I actually liked how it looks with the bed close to the glass door.
Great cabin tour Sheri. thank you so much for highlighting the outlets. Good to see these are by the beds too. As for the closets, were the rods for the hangers as high as they looked? I am short and hope I can reach them!
Yes. Those of us who love Princess know about the beds. I still don't think I will like the cabinets instead of the usual Pricess set up, but I will still be happy to be on Princess always. Plus I am a huge fan of the Voronkova Sisters and unfortunately I will miss them this time.
Thanks and I love your videos and tours. I have a cruise on the Sun Princess in the fall. On the Princess app it said the bed on close to the entrance instead of by the balcony. Is this a problem in the cabin?? We have cruised mostly on Princess and Royal Caribbean. Like them both!!
Very well done video! I love how the showers have doors. Not a fan of the curtains. LOL. What did you think of the balcony not having like the foot rests that some ships have?
Nice video. I was interested to get a better look at the stateroom arrangement. The new closet arrangement is interesting as it faces into the entry hall space. Not a problem as a solo traveler but I think it might create a bottleneck for couples or families in these cabins. Is twin bed configuration available in these cabins?
Thanks again for a great video. Did I hear correctly that not all Deluxe Balcony cabins have the bed next to the balcony ? I hope it is something I will have a choice when booking. Thank you, keep up the good work !
Yes, that is correct. However, Princess does not provide that information on booking. You would have to find a photo or video of a particular state room and then assume that the room next to it will be in the opposite configuration.
I think the small lip on the open drawers of the closet are new. Those could be useful! I do love the new glass doors for the shower, but being a family of four, we’re planning to bring a curtain to attach to the outside of the shower stall, so if someone is showering, someone can still use the sink. I know you were solo on this trip, but did you get a sense of where the 4th bed might be? Not sure if it folds into the ceiling like on Sky princess. Thanks!
Hello, thank you for your video! Does the couch in deluxe balcony room recline? There are 3 of us. For example, on the majestic princess the couch does recline. Thank you!
Booked in a deluxe balcony on the Sun in December 2025. Thank you for this in-depth, well-done video! I just noticed that the cabin I chose has the bed near the entrance. Is one set up better than the other?
Glad it was helpful! It’s really just personal preference. I had some friends who stayed in the configuration with the bed by the window and they felt like the fan was blowing right on their head overnight. So there’s probably benefits to each configuration.
What about those annoying lights below nightstand that come on when anyone gets out of bed. Did they go away? I gated them cause it would wake me up everytime my husband or cabin mate got up to use bathroom
Hey Sheri! I know you have spoken about top ship picks in the past, but i’m wondering if you have a new top 5? I’m planning a cruise for post chemo…i need something fun to look forward to! lol. And i trust your opinion!!❤
We are still thinking back and forth on taking this cruise ship in May 2025 out of Italy for our 15 year anniversary. I had heard that the average age of people sailing with Princess is slightly higher than other cruises. Thoughts on this?

This was such a good room tour!! Makes me want to book on sun princess. You nailed it without the extra support of your camera man!
aaaw, thank you so much for watching!
As a clothes horse, one thing that I used to love about Princess was the Walk-In Closet.
Thank you for all the detailed info! I was wondering about the outlets.

Can't wait to sail on her and her sister Star when she launches next year!
That's RIGHT about the lamps! I hadn't noticed that. See, the eye of a seasoned cruiser!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great tour! I'm so happy they have conditioner. It's the little things.
I'll be on the Sun Princess for the November 2nd, 2024 sailing. I cannot wait! So EXCITE!!
Yay! Bon voyage!
same here, see you then!
We'll be going on the Sun Princess next April. We have also booked a Deluxe Balcony. Good review.
Awesome!
Thank you for doing a proper tour! 😊
Our pleasure!
I have cruised exclusively with Princess and have booked a Carribean cruise in March 2025. I am looking forward to the Sun ship and new design. Thank you for the great video that gives me an idea of what's to come.
You did a terrific job giving us a room tour! Beautiful cabin would love to go !!
Thank you so much!
the hallway looks so light and bright!
It is! SO MUCH space in that closet, too!
Does anyone know if there's a way of telling the position of the bed/sofa when choosing your cabin? I'm a sofa-by-the-window man :) Great room tour.
Beautiful tour Sheri it is absolutely gorgeous balcony! 💜🫶🏻💚💚🫶🏻🌈🪻🌈💜❤️❤️💗🩵🩵🌷🌷🌷🌻🩷🩷🌻🛳️💛🌼🌼🌹🩷🩷🌹💖💖🛳️🌻❤️💗🧡🧡🫶🏻💚🫶🏻🌈🪻🪻🪻💜🫶🏻❤️❤️❤️🧡🧡🌷🌷🌻🛳️🛳️🩷🩷🌞🌹💛💛

Wow, what a good room tour. And I love that room. It’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m going to look up cruises right now on it.
You should!
I'm booked on a deluxe balcony. Level 11. Can't wait to explore this beautiful looking ship
Hope you enjoy it!
Great job Sheri you knocked it out of the park Mr. CruiseTipsTV job security is not safe anymore lol thank you for the tour of the cabin and the balcony very nice
Aaaw, thanks my friend!!!!!!!!
Thank you. Looks like an amazing ship
I think so too!
Thanks for posting.
You bet!
Hi Chris and Kitty Liverpool England.where going on it next year. Thank you for the lovely video.
Our pleasure! Have a lovely time!
Thank you so much for replying
I need to book this ship. Great tour!!!
You should!
Sherry,, we will be on-board in May with a Deluxe Balcony on deck 15. I am impressed with the actual drawers in the closet (below the safe) instead of open shelves. Thanks!!
YES, and they are very high quality!
Thank you so much for this. You are absolutely delightful.
My girlfriend and I will be in a deluxe balcony (16310) on Sun Princess sailing out of Rome on April 17rh and are really excited.
She had sailed on Princess once before and this will be my first time
I am so excited.
You have a new subscriber!🙂
Yay, welcome aboard and thanks for taking a moment to comment! It means a lot to us!

Wow, such a beautiful looking cabin. They made several great changes. I immediately noticed that the cabin numbers don’t have deck letter (R-Riviera) but instead shows as deck number (14212 instead of R212). I’m glad you mentioned the couch/bed configuration because I was wondering if it was like that in all cabins. I actually liked how it looks with the bed close to the glass door.
We agree! Great observation about those deck names!
@@CruiseTipsTV Do you happen to know if Princess is moving away from deck names?
Great cabin tour Sheri. thank you so much for highlighting the outlets. Good to see these are by the beds too. As for the closets, were the rods for the hangers as high as they looked? I am short and hope I can reach them!
YES, they were a bit high, but it wasn't a struggle for me. For anyone under 4 ft 10 inches I think they would have been!
Going on princess to Alaska this summer!🎉❤
Good choice!
Hard to find a couch on Princess balcony cabins. Will be on Sun princess next May, yippee...
I love the flowers! Can we bring flowers on board or did they provide? 💐
Plan to go on her next year! ❤
Wonderful!
Great tour. Booked a handicap balcony. If you could post what to expect.❤
Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to have access to one of those. But I’ve heard great things about them.
On Diamond princess leaving Melbourne Australia on 30 November. Highly recommend you come visit Australia and do a cruise
We'd love to! Watching for airfare price decreases!
@@CruiseTipsTVremember your US $ is worth more in Australia
Sun Princess Dec 2024 in an extended balcony. I am so excited 😊
So cool!
Yes. Those of us who love Princess know about the beds. I still don't think I will like the cabinets instead of the usual Pricess set up, but I will still be happy to be on Princess always. Plus I am a huge fan of the Voronkova Sisters and unfortunately I will miss them this time.
Thanks and I love your videos and tours.
I have a cruise on the Sun Princess in the fall. On the Princess app it said the bed on close to the entrance instead of by the balcony. Is this a problem in the cabin??
We have cruised mostly on Princess and Royal Caribbean. Like them both!!
Thank you for the tour it’s beautiful! Is this son Princess coming to the USA?
Yes it is! Coming to cruise the Caribbean in September!
Very well done video! I love how the showers have doors. Not a fan of the curtains. LOL. What did you think of the balcony not having like the foot rests that some ships have?
I prefer reclining seating on a balcon, but most don't have room these days. Great question!
The sun picture behind you❤
I know, so pretty right!?
Nice video. I was interested to get a better look at the stateroom arrangement. The new closet arrangement is interesting as it faces into the entry hall space. Not a problem as a solo traveler but I think it might create a bottleneck for couples or families in these cabins. Is twin bed configuration available in these cabins?
Thank goodness they finally put in a foot rest for shaving your legs and got rid of the shower curtain 😊
Absolutely!
Hi beautiful cabins
Can you please tell me me is smoking allowed in these patio’s?? Thank you Gladys
I don't believe so. I think balconies and staterooms are non smoking.
Thanks again for a great video. Did I hear correctly that not all Deluxe Balcony cabins have the bed next to the balcony ? I hope it is something I will have a choice when booking.
Thank you, keep up the good work !
Yes, that is correct. However, Princess does not provide that information on booking. You would have to find a photo or video of a particular state room and then assume that the room next to it will be in the opposite configuration.
Hi do you think a mid ship balcony cabin would be noisy on deck 17?
I think the small lip on the open drawers of the closet are new. Those could be useful! I do love the new glass doors for the shower, but being a family of four, we’re planning to bring a curtain to attach to the outside of the shower stall, so if someone is showering, someone can still use the sink.
I know you were solo on this trip, but did you get a sense of where the 4th bed might be? Not sure if it folds into the ceiling like on Sky princess. Thanks!
Hey! I'm not sure about the 4th bed and didn't get access to any other cabins unfortunately! GREAT point on the lips on the drawers!
Hello, thank you for your video! Does the couch in deluxe balcony room recline? There are 3 of us. For example, on the majestic princess the couch does recline. Thank you!
Booked on Sun Princess
October 2024 b2b
Deluxe Balcony deck 11
Cruised with Princess b4
Many times but always a mini suite
☀️🥂☀️
Thanks for sharing!
Does the is the mini suite have a balcony ??
I am sailing on Oct. 19th out of Ft. Lauderdake 😊
Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do they set up for 4 people?
How do you know which deluxe balconies have the couch by balcony door instead of bed by balcony door
Sheri, some people were complaining that there was no light switch for the balcony. Did you find one?
Booked in a deluxe balcony on the Sun in December 2025. Thank you for this in-depth, well-done video! I just noticed that the cabin I chose has the bed near the entrance. Is one set up better than the other?
Glad it was helpful! It’s really just personal preference. I had some friends who stayed in the configuration with the bed by the window and they felt like the fan was blowing right on their head overnight. So there’s probably benefits to each configuration.
@@CruiseTipsTV Thank you. After seeing photos of both setups, we’re sticking to the bed by the entrance - it’s what we’re used to.🙂
How was it traveling solo?
Is there a plug area for a night light in the bathroom?
i don't believe there was.
We will be on her October 14 ft Lauderdale
What about those annoying lights below nightstand that come on when anyone gets out of bed. Did they go away? I gated them cause it would wake me up everytime my husband or cabin mate got up to use bathroom
Hey Sheri! I know you have spoken about top ship picks in the past, but i’m wondering if you have a new top 5? I’m planning a cruise for post chemo…i need something fun to look forward to! lol. And i trust your opinion!!❤
Great question! I'll try to work on that for you! I hope chemo continues to go well. Hugs!
We are still thinking back and forth on taking this cruise ship in May 2025 out of Italy for our 15 year anniversary. I had heard that the average age of people sailing with Princess is slightly higher than other cruises. Thoughts on this?
Was this the kind of balcony you talked about being your pet peeve? Obstructed balcony?
Oooh, I don't remember! I don't mind those though. it was more likely a noisy room, under a pool deck, near an elevator, etc.
So glad they did away with those annoying fixed lamps on the nightstands. They always took up so much room!
I prefer bed by the balcony.
No I've had two cruises on Prince's I never go back
We are going on the Sun Princess in January 2025 for 3 weeks.
Wonderful!
Going March 2025
NICE!
