What a superb review. I like your constructive criticism and some call outs of some bad trends. Too many expensive extras is a part of the cruise experience today. But you talk of the well-trained and seemingly happy crew as well and also give a sense of what goes on in various parts of the ship. Your review of the limits of 4 people in a balcony cabin was very useful. And I absolutely love the term "modern nostalgia" to describe the ship. I think a ship needs a sense of nostalgia to feel like a ship. I'm not sure this is in the new Sun Princess and I certainly feel it really isn't in much of the Celebrity Edge class. But it seems to be in Cunard, even the Queen Anne and HAL ship. Again, a truly, stellar job. Now, here is one thing I don't care for. I don't understand the dancing in the atrium. I like it much better in a ballroom and in lounges. Celebrity does this as well. I prefer the HAl and Cunard approach of having the atrium as a relatively quiet central point and having the dancing to whatever style of music you prefer in its own enclosed hall or lounge.
A tip for anyone wanting the Sabatinis pasta, but don´t want to pay for the full meal: get the made to order pasta in the buffe. All the pasta is made in Sabatinis kitchen and they just cook it in the buffe.
Wow, lovely to hear from you! Thanks so much for all your hard work in the cafe - it's my favourite place on ship. You guys are always so lovely and welcoming - it's much appreciated. The brie pastries are delicious plus the biggest cookies ever. Thank you - hope to see you again soon! Regards Luci x
