Great First Day Vlog. Love the Champagne bell in the Sanctuary. Awesome sail away footage too. And of Course the shake dance in the Good Sprits at Sea.
Following along, and reliving it all again with you both. The day that you got off the Sun, we got on her. They opened up for boarding just before 10:00, we breezed through security, walked right up and got our Medallions, and were on the ship by 10:20! Fastest and earliest boarding time ever! We were no where near the front of the line either. You had mentioned the rocky motion of the ship, we never experienced that on our sailing. I wonder if there was an issue with the stabilizers? Loved that Caribbean band that played in the Piazza, they were fantastic. Great first vlog! Cheers from London, Ontario.
We heard from friends that the rocking motion went away the week after we left. So hopefully it was a temporary blip in the stabilizer system and its all good again. Hopefully you had a great cruise!
Princess finally received the memo from the 70's wanting their shower curtains back. As a young Detroiter, way back when, I loved the reference to "Pop" as opposed to soda.
Our daughter bought a bag of 250 mini ducks, every time she comes over she will leave them for us to find. It's so cute She's put them in weird places too which just makes us laugh. I've got mine on top of our computer stand. Duck Army lol
Very clever! It is the first time that we have ever spotted on that tiny. Definitely a lot easier to pack if you are bringing a bunch on a cruise ship to hide.
Hello Mr & Mrs. C!! Welcome to my ship! lol! I was on the Sun Princess with you, this being my second week! Over 900 of us were doing a B2B. Week one we were just under 4,000 passengers, but the second week we were sailing full! Lucky you! 😂This was my first B2B and my first solo cruise. My cabin was very close to yours. I was in 10108, directly below the Bridge and as far forward as is possible. I am a disabled cruiser, so I need a handicapped cabin. Shame on Princess for putting ALL accessible cabins in the bow or stern. On all other Princess ships, they have midship options for those of us using scooters. For that reason, I will probably not sail on the Sun again. Being a scooter user, I am especially sensitive to that poor passenger that had his accident 2 hours out to sea. I can't imagine waiting 2 hours to get back to appropriate help. 😪 I'll add more comments as you post. Nancy (blue scooter solo passenger)
Hi Nancy, Thanks for sharing. We were unaware of the locations of the accessible cabins. Very interesting. It was so sad to hear of the accident that happened on our embarkation day.
Hi Fraser!! We’ve followed your adventures and the growth of your channel and are delighted at your success!! 🎉🍾 Thanks for the sub and we certainly hope to end up on a cruise with you one day soon and chat about the world of cruistubing!
I hope you're still not rocking and rolling on the forward high deck cabin. I sail inside cabins often & the Sun looks much smaller than other Princess ships. You have provided some great insights and concerns as I will be on the Sun in January 2025. I may be sticking with Grand Class ship with the wrap around promenade deck.
I just checked the deck plan understand why you were feeling movement in that cabin wow right at the top and right at the front.We stayed in 5212 deck 5 oceanview fantastic cabin and quite location
We were midships quite often in the sphere at venues on decks 7 and 8, and still felt much more movement than usual. We kept asking other passengers and the crew and many others agreed that something wasn't right with the stability of the ship. What caught our attention was the near calm waves always under 3 feet. This was our 48th cruise and we've had our sea legs for years - the problems with movement with the ship and movement in that cabin were two different issues.
Just like there's more than Eastern Canada cruises?? Good thing we enjoy ourselves in our own way. Also, this was the second of two cruises, the first being on Celebrity. That vlog follows this.
Elite members receive a stocked bar on all their cruises with Princess regardless of the ship. They have switch up what the bar consists of on the Sun compared to all other Princess cruises we have been on. Not sure if the change to the set-up will be fleet wide.
@@CruisingCanucks We were on Sun in September and the Elite set up we had was as normal with the small bottles of alcohol not sure why yours was not the norm maybe the cabin steward couldn't be bothered.
25 years of responsible decisions with money, hard work to get/keep good paying jobs, drive a 10 year old compact car, never eat out while at home, and find great deals to make the best use of the remaining travel dollars.
Loved it when they played the loveboat on their cellphone while taking your first steps aboard :)
Everyone in the gangway with us had smiles on there face!

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to check it out. Wonderful day with great friends.
Pretty hair Mrs. C❤
Thanks!
I like the bush giving out drinks 😊
It is pretty awesome!🥂

Has a SUPER time last June in EU, Thank you all the hard work by the Crew.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time! We always feel so grateful to the crew who works hard to make our cruises so special.
Princess finally received the memo from the 70's wanting their shower curtains back. As a young Detroiter, way back when, I loved the reference to "Pop" as opposed to soda.
So happy that the curtain is gone!😊

@@CruisingCanucks my daughter just bombarded our house with a LOT yesterday to find. I have a small duck army lol
So much fun!

HOW was I not subscribed to your channel until now? Wow - my bad - hello from your newest subscriber! :)

So funny. Was watching this as I was doing final packing before driving to Sun Princess 😂
Have a great cruise!!
Sweet, what a cabin your friends are in. Frizzy froo froo lol
They had a gorgeous cabin for sure!
Great vlog! Thanks for sharing 🤗
We’re glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice video.
We're glad you thought so! We had a wonderful day exploring this ship.

It's a beautiful ship. Have a great time!
I am positive that we need a champagne wall in our home!! 🥂😆
Wouldn’t that be fabulous. Scott is going to have to ask Santa for white serving gloves from Christmas!😊
@ 🤣🤣🤣 that’s an idea!! 💡
We call Pogo's Corn Dogs, find them at State Fairs Haven't had one in YEARS.

Hi my beautiful lovelies. Love the vlog still love my sky over the sun .lama lama lama
❤️Hi Dave!
There's more to life than Princess Cruises? LOL
Just like there's more than Eastern Canada cruises?? Good thing we enjoy ourselves in our own way. Also, this was the second of two cruises, the first being on Celebrity. That vlog follows this.
Was that 5 suitcases!
It was four suitcases. However that was for 16 nights away.
Dry nuggs?! The horror 🫨
🤣Awful!
Is the stocked mini bar that this given to elite members only on the sub princess or all princess ships?
Elite members receive a stocked bar on all their cruises with Princess regardless of the ship. They have switch up what the bar consists of on the Sun compared to all other Princess cruises we have been on. Not sure if the change to the set-up will be fleet wide.
@@CruisingCanucks We were on Sun in September and the Elite set up we had was as normal with the small bottles of alcohol not sure why yours was not the norm maybe the cabin steward couldn't be bothered.
Is Mr Canuck available for parties?
🤣
What’s a pogo? What you ate looked like a corndog.
It is a corn dog. We call it a Pogo where we are from because that is the name of the company that makes them.
How do you afford all these cruises?
25 years of responsible decisions with money, hard work to get/keep good paying jobs, drive a 10 year old compact car, never eat out while at home, and find great deals to make the best use of the remaining travel dollars.
Am I saying pasta wrong? I say pa-sta. Sounds like the Canucks say past- a. Ok AM I wrong ?
PASS TA
Do we say anything right?? Glad people keep us humble.
You are saying it wrong, Canucks are always right 😂
