Cruise Review: Sun Princess April 11th, 1998 Western Caribbean Ernest J. Alleva, M.S.
Introduction
My Partner and I have taken some 16 cruises beforehand ranging from two day party cruises
to elaborate 21 day European Jaunts. While we have
traveled with several cruise lines including Regency, Regal, Carnival, Royal Caribbean and
Celebrity, we were resistant to try the Princess line for several
reasons. Firstly, as we are thirty-something, we make an attempt to avoid cruise lines
that cater to older folks. Frankly, the sight of the Holland America
Passengers send us running in the opposite direction. Secondly, since we are both New York
City Professionals who entertain clients in rather elaborate
restaurants and theaters, the last thing we want to do is dress up in the evening, have
our picture taken, and pretend to care about the Captain of a ship.
We prefer cruise lines that offer choice to passengers - if you want to pretend to be
fancy and elegant, you can or if you want to pretend to be a beach
bumb, your also accommodated. Princess solves this problem with alternatives - which will
latter be discussed. We originally booked a Celebrity cruise - one
of our favorite lines - but were not particularly excited about its prospects. For one
thing, Celebrity is changing since RCL took them over. One now
appears to be assaulted by bar waiters selling drinks just like a Mexican Bazaar. We
experienced this on RCL as well. While dining at Le Cirque 2000 or
Daniels may be expensive, the experience lends itself to good food that is well prepared.
Celebrity appears to be changing its good food to mediocre food
served pretty style - pretension personified. Our cruise companions convinced us that we
should try Princess and we did, booking the Sun Princess. We
made our booking through Cruise Brothers because they quoted the lowest rate from six
other agencies. Marge Veltri was our agent, and she provided
perfect service and attention - even giving us her home number if we needed information
when she was not in the office. We booked Cabin C340 on the
Carribe deck, with a balcony, making sure we were not near noise producing areas such as
under pools, buffets, dance floors, or elevators. Unless you
are paying rock bottom prices for surprise cabins )And we sometimes do this), select your
own cabin. It can make or break your cruise experience.
Pre-Cruise Arrangements
We decided to boo our own airfare - saving about $90 per person - and spend the savings on
a room the day before at the Marriot Harbor Beach Hotel.
We have found over the years that booking our own airfare saves substantial amounts of
cash, as does booking our own hotel accommodations. Although
you are responsible for transportation from the airport to the ship when you purchase your
own airfare, you also leave the airport and arrive at the ship
much faster. Cruise lines provide high busses that often take a long time to load and
unload, and then drive at a snails pace. Taxi's are faster and by far
more convenient. As far as hotel accommodations, we found that cruise lines charge at
least twice as much for the hotel accommodations than the hotel
charges you. Given the ease of 800 number reservation systems, it is silly to pay double
the price for anything.
We departed New York's La Guardia Airport on American Flight 643 and arrived in Ft.
Lauderdale at 1:30pm on thankfully, a non-eventfull flight. We
quickly got our luggage and picked up our Hertz rent-a-car for the day. We had debated the
rental care scenario; if this was a Miami embarkation we
would simply cab everything. But the $40 cost of the car was break even for us. We would
be paying cabs to/from the hotel and the places we wanted to
go. You need to weight this yourself. If you plan on just enjoying the hotel
accommodations, then a car may not be the best option for you. Also, many
hotels - including the Marriot - provide complimentary or very own cost min-van
transportation making your decision easier. Check in at the Marriot was a
breeze - as it always is - and we were in our 15th floor oceanfront room in less than one
minute! While the Marriot Marina hotel is a perfectly fine hotel
situated across from the cruise terminal, and offers great lounges, pools, and
restaurants, we prefer the resort atmosphere of the Harbor Beach Marriott.
While not the most elegant of hotels, it offers every luxury and amenity one can expect
including a beautifully clean beach, "cruise like" activities
throughout the day including beach walks and bike rides, and large designer swimming
pools. As always, the selection of restaurants ranges from extreme
informality to semi-formal sit downs. While other folks may prefer a more quaint
establishment, we like the dependability and reliability of the Marriot
Network. We always know we can get a room that looks the same, good food, a knowledgeable
concierge, air conditioning that works, and cleanliness.
Neither of us want any additional surprises while on vacation. After taking five minutes
to settle in (we are New Yorkers after all), we had a quick lunch
overlooking the ocean. We decided to drive over to the Sawmill Outlet Stores, which bills
itself as the world's largest outlet mall. The mall is gigantic and
should not be missed if you like mega shopping. There is also an Amazon Jungle restaurant
and several other eateries and I believe if you call the mall
from your hotel, you will receive complimentary round trip shuttle service - again another
reason not to rent a vehicle if you don't want to! As far as the
outlet aspect of our shopping excursion went, we found very little in the way of actual
bargains. We just purchased what we wanted because we likes
them. After spending some three hours in the mall and only seeing 1/3 of it, we decided to
head on back to the hotel. A quick stop at the concierge got us
an everglades tour for $35 per person. The tour included round trip transportation and a
guide who was able to provide with the history and background
of greater Ft. Lauderdale as well as the Seminole Indians. Since the tour was scheduled to
leave at 9:30am, we has a little dinner, canceling our
restaurant reservations and opting for an informal buffet and then turned in. It was
10:30pm. The next morning we ordered room service, and had
breakfast overlooking the ocean and watching the various ships sail into the harbor area.
Celebrity, Holland America, and of Course Princess all paraded
into port ready to take on new passengers. We all laughed out loud at the thought of all
the depressed people on board having to leave the ship so as to
allow us to enter and enjoy a new week on board (was not so funny when it was our turn to
be depressed). Since our tour began at 9:30 and ended three
hours latter, we simply called the front desk and requested a 1pm checkout at no
additional charge instead of the standard 11am checkout. Our request
was granted as they always are, and before we knew it, we were on our way to the
everglades. Our guide was informative and talkative allowing us every
opportunity to learn about the lives of every single person who lives in Ft. Lauderdale.
Upon our arrival at the Seminole Indian airboat and exhibition
center, we were placed on an airboat and proceeded to speed through the everglades.
Earplugs were provided as the airboat itself is rather noisy, and
one old lady on the boat kept asking people around her what the guide was saying because
she kept her ear plugs in after the airboat stopped. The
beauty and wildlife however, make up for any minor annoyances and inconveniences. We were
told that the everglades in the largest lake in the world. For
hundreds of years the native Seminoles lived among the tiny islands dotting the
everglades, migrating from other Northern States. They also never signed
a peace accord with the United States. The most popular residents. however, were not the
Seminoles (although they really should be) but were the
alligators living in the waters. We spotted several amongst the thick brush, as well as
several kinds of birds and plant life. Being from New York City, we
were bored after three minutes but actually continued to enjoy the wildlife. After the
airboat ride, we enjoyed several exhibits about the Seminole Indians,
and even saw a wonderful demonstration of alligators in various stages of development. We
learned that although alligators will kill humans if provoked,
they do not like the taste of the human being - way too salty. So while they will kill you
with their teeth, take comfort in knowing they will spit you out instead
of eating you. While we were glad we took this tour, we should have thought to take the
car here ourselves. Since we had already rented the car, the boat
ride and tour of the facilities would only cost some $16 per person, and the 20 minute
ride or so to the area could easily be reached. However, it was a
very pleasant way for us to enjoy the morning. Upon our return to the hotel we phoned for
a bell hop, used the video check-out, gave the Concierge the
Hertz Rental Car back to terminate the rental, and got into a cab for the very short drive
to the Sun Princess. Total time: just about five minutes.
Ship Review
Embarkation:
We arrived in less than five minutes and immediately gave our luggage to an attendant. We
then walked around to the front entrance of the terminal.
Reminiscent of the last days of scheduled airline flights out of Saigon, the atmosphere
"appeared" chaotic and confused. This is not to say that Princess
was the least disorganized because they were very organized. While we still give the award
for embarkation to Carnival - one line that moves fast -
Princess had each deck and cabin numbers clearly marked. Therefore, you simply needed to
look for your deck and cabin number and stand on the
appropriate line to be checked in. Lovely retirees working for Princess reminded everyone
to have all their paper work filled out and even directed
everyone to the appropriate line should they not be able to read. Human nature as it is,
We witnessed woman selling their own children, men slaughtering
chickens, an Army of insurgents being trained, and a segment of the Jerry Springer show
being filmed- all while passengers were trying to check in. People
went to the wrong line. Who lost their passport. Most never thought to fill out the forms
even though they were asked several times to do so. Some elderly
people forgot they were taking a cruise. One lady (true folks) was running around because
she left her tickets in her suitcase and could not find her
husband who was going to get them from the check in people at curbside (HAHAHA). The
wonderful senior couple in front of us had a very long and
detailed conversation with the Princess agent about the various cruises they took, which
ones they liked the best and why. The wife even showed the
agent her new ring, and told her where she purchased it. We were prepared when we
approached the agent and again, in three minutes our business
was taken care of. It took us 35 minutes total to check in..better than RCL and in all
honesty not terrible by any stretch of the imagination. We took the
obligatory picture and walked up the plank. We never seem to get those pictures because we
never have time to stroll through the photo gallery looking
for them. I did one day very much by accident and purchased two photos taken at some stage
of the cruise. Upon entering the lobby, we simply went over
to elevator, saw where we were and were our cabins were, and used the stairs. As
cruiseaholics know, elevators on ships are an iffy proposition to begin
with. On embarkation day, they are a sign from heaven that the world will truly end. Every
now and then the doors open and you see people stuffed in like
Sardines not having a clue if they are going up or down. As the doors of the elevators
slowly close, you can see the silent gasps for help on the faces of
the innocent people trying to grab a hamburger at the buffet. We found our room rather
easily and entered using the sign and sail card given at check in.
This is a great Princess Feature that should be used by other lines...one card that
identifies you with a photo, allows you to charge, and opens your door
at the same time. I can't tell you how many times I have left "the key" in the
door on other cruise lines while guarding the "charge Card". Now, I have it all
together. First impressions upon entering the room : Very Nice.
Cabins
As previously stated, we purchased a category BC with a verandah. Although the room is
small, and your verandah space comes from your bedroom
space, the lovely creature comforts IN ALL THE CABINS make up for any minor discomfort.
Terry Cloth robes, a refrigerator, easy to read (Finally) room
service menu's and best of all...the interactive TV were all part of the Princess Cabin
experience. The only exception was the interactive TV which was being
testing in our cabin among 85 others. We were told that Princess was experimenting with an
interactive TV system - much like on Celebrity ships but these
should work - and our room had one. We were able to see videos about shore excursions and
purchase excursions, rent movies for viewing, listen to a
great selection of music CD's and, if wanted to, purchase the CD, and gamble in the cabin
with slots and/or poker. I was already having fun. I am sure in a
matter of two months this TV will be standard. Tastefully decorated in shades of blue, the
room lent itself to relaxation. The leather info folder left in the
cabin was informative but again, horribly organized. I had made arrangements for Princess
to deliver a floral arrangement for $35 and a Casino credit of
$100. They did, but delivered to me instead, with notes on each telling me how much I
loved myself. Oh well, I guess they were a bit confused. While the
flowers were wonderful - a great tropical arrangement, the casino credit was less than
perfect. It comes on a tear off sheet of paper and does not say
anything except that you have a $100 Casino credit. Elderly passengers, or anyone for that
matter - may mistake it as an advertisement (It was delivered
in the mailbox) and one could easily toss it in the garbage along with those 4000 notices
you get about the art auctions. They can place the gift certificate
in either a box or decorated envelope thereby drawing attention to it.
We didn't have - but needed - the butler. I was wondering what people do with butlers on
cruise ships. Unless they looked like Brad Pitt - I could not
imagine what need I would have for a butler. However, as we were unpacking I realized this
is one chore that the Butler cold do - and one I would gladly
delegate. I was thinking about the room...not so bad and not so-so tight. It had a very
small entrance area with four nice size closets on the left, with two
large mirrored sliding doors. Inside one closet was a safe and a tie rack - nice touch!
The bathroom was very small and was the size of a telephone booth.
One could easily do all three things at the same time (think about it). This was
unacceptable. Aside from that, there were two beds made up as singles but
latter pushed together to form a Queen sized bed. There was a desk/makeup table complete
with hairdryer, a refrigerator under the Television, a great
phone system with voice-mail, and sufficient closet space. The room was decorated in
shades of blue - and it worked well. What more can you ask for
Champaign!!!
Ship Accommodations
I am not one for details, and I am the first to admit I write from a very subjective
viewpoint, so I can only comment on areas I used or seemed of interest.
Very nice accommodations and well thought out throughout the ship. This was the first time
that I actually stayed in the library for a little while. While small, it
had a great collection of hard and soft cover books to select with extremely comfortable
chairs to sit and relax in while your reading/starring at the ocean.
In addition, they had a wonderful selection of audio tapes that invited you to use the
facilities. This works. Shopping was good and prices were fine except
that selection was limited. Still, you will find something to but if the shopping bug
should bite you. We picked up some Italian hand painted plates at $80 a
piece that were a buy. The "Caviar" bar is across from the disco and is somewhat
hidden. The prices are about half of what RCL charges, but the
presentation is better on RCL. The disco is nice with two revolving door entrances at
opposite ends. Why people go to a disco and sit down with sour
pusses on their faces is beyond my reasoning. We saw countless people sitting down at
tables starring off into deep space. I think that some folks just
don't know what to do. Wheel house bar is a fantastic old world shipping lounge complete
with nautical memorabilia. The problem is Princess has hired a
country-western Philippine Band to play. While they are entertaining - the country/Western
theme somehow does not fit in. People did, however, have a
ball. The atrium is beautiful as they are on all large ships and you can sit in any number
of chairs surrounding it watching those glass elevators go up and
down.
Health Spa/Steiners
Cruise lines, such as Crystal and Seaborn, should consider putting another Spa management
team in say...Georgette Klinger or Elizabeth Arden. I have
seen the general decline in quality and service provided by young chicks from the United
Kingdom who feel they have really arrived now that they work for
Steiners. The gym facilities are well equipped with television monitors and personal
headsets with music and television channels while you excercise.
Saunas are very small, almost like the bathroom in your cabin. Facilities a la Steiners
include massage and therapy rooms, water therapy tubs, and a full
hair saloon. We usually book about four spa treatments each and even spend money buying
the Steiner products. The products are great, but we have
really seen a gradual decline in the spa treatments received. I object strongly to being
subjected to a sales pitch while I am paying for a spa service and
make my objections known before the services start. For example, I have been interrupted
in the middle of my treatment and told that I can pay $15 for a
certain ointment to be added or that I should pay $25 for some other service. Now I Just
tell the lovely ladies that I do not want any sales pitched during my
session. I also find the training on the therapists somewhat lacking although some have
been very good. I love an hour long reflexology session, body
massage, and seaweed wrap. Facials are nothing more than having these therapists put
creams on your face and then take them off - hardly a facial, and
not worth the $40 or $50 charged. The more aggressive Steiner people, after your massage
is complete, may tell you your body felt really stressed out
and is in need of more massages or more treatments. Or, you maybe asked about your diet
and shocked to hear that you are the exact person that
Steiners created their nutritional supplements for. Poor little girls.....they really
think people are stupid.
Service and Staff
There really is nothing more that we could have asked for. From the service we received
from room service, to the interactive TV man, to the cabin
stewards and waiter/busboy, everyone was professional and accommodating. This was the
first time I actually tipped both the head waiter and maitre 'd
because they deserved it. By the way, the guys in the Princess Brochure are really the
staff on the ship...good work Princess! Dining service was always
attentive and enjoyable. Only on one occasion did something happen that was completely
unacceptable, but it was so far out of place that I simply dropped
it or I would have really hit the roof. One night I ordered prime rib well done, and it
came to my plate rare - medium (I cannot take blood). The waiter took
the plate when I asked for a more done piece, went over to another service station, turned
the meat over, wiped it with a napkin and returned it to me (I
saw the whole thing dummy). This was completely unlike him as he was extremely
accommodating all other times. I them told him the meat was not cooked
enough (original problem) and he went to another station, came back with the same steak
but with lots of sauce on top. I just ordered lamb chops which
he brought to me without any problems. Ordinarily I would have made a show of sorts, but I
could only imagine something was going on at the moment that
precluded him from entering the kitchen. He had never given us a problem like this -
asking for more or different food was never a problem - so I simply
dropped it. Even so, his services was outstanding, and gets an A. The cabin stewardess was
wonderful, non-obtrusive and very good. In one instance she
cleaned our balcony with water, but left a Hugh ½ inch puddle of water. It never
evaporated. I actually thought our neighbor was washing clothes and spilt
the water. I started to clean the water with some towels on my hands and knees when I
realized how stupid the entire idea was. I simply called the purser's
office and said I could not use the balcony because of the water. The stewardess came and
cleaned It up and apologized. She also gets an A. The purser
staff was good, friendly and efficient. There were no problems encountered with any staff
person. Bar service was fine, with very few waiters ruining your
sunbathing with "BAHAMA MAMA SPECIAL" like they do with hot dogs at the
ballpark. In fact, the closest we ran into that was "May I get you a drink?".
Food
Contrary to what the Berlitz guide says, I believe that cruise food is getting better. Hey
even Royal Caribbean is trying a little to improve. The food was
good to excellent with a great selection of food at the buffet all day long. All the food
in the dinning room was varied and well prepared. Pasta dished were
outstanding. The food was not comparable to Le Cirque or Daniels but in actuality, who
wants to eat Le Cirque food everyday anyway? Save that for the
Seaborne or Sea Goddess. Well made ethnic and traditional favorites are winners every
time. I was also pleased to see food that was recycled in creative
ways so that you did not feel like you were eating everything again. I will never forget
that Regency cruise that delivered blueberry pancakes in the
morning, tomatoes stuffed with blueberry's for lunch and...blueberry soup for dinner. I
forgot to mention the blueberry snakes around the bar (Not a joke).
Room service menu was varied enough and well prepared. I especially enjoyed the option of
having a hot breakfast...wow! What a concept! Once more,
the room service was always working like its supposed to. We have always found the room
service on Royal Caribbean to be inferior and on Carnival to be
minimal. This room service works. On the buffet front, it was plentiful, varied, and
appeared very clean and appealing. Contrary to that other cruise line that
says I got something coming to me - this buffet was always opened as promised and
advertised. The pool side grill served up the usual hamburgers and
hot dogs and again was always clean and fresh smelling. Coffee and some soft drinks such
as iced tea were always available (Again, as promised).
Entertainment
We are New Yorkers and attend the theater on a regular basis. To be truthful, we simply do
not enjoy ship shows but that is highly subjective. The shows
were scheduled every night in two different theaters and people did seem to enjoy them. As
usual, we walked out of almost everyone except the first one.
The reason for us staying was the two very fat lady's - bless their hearts - who were
seated at the end of the row. They were laughing and enjoying the
show so much we decided to let them be. Besides, who wants to go mountain climbing the
first night of the cruise. The Wheel house bar had a Filipino
band playing country music in it. We thought the band was great except that the wheel
house bar was not exactly a place you may think to hear country
music. It looks like a place you purchase fine Cuban cigars in and discuss the opening
results of the stock market. However, fun and enjoyment was had by
all in attendance. At dinner, there was a trio of Mexican Singers who would sing while you
dinned. They sand Mexican music every night including the
formal Captains Dinner, the French, Italian, and American Nigh. While they were OK, it
didn't work. Who wants to hear a Spanish Version of "Besa me
Mucho" while your dining on Caviar? Excellent movies in the cabins, and the
interactive TV will increase your ability to watch movies (albeit paying). We
purchased one movie for $8.85. The interactive casino was fun and I won $100 bucks on
poker the first night. Of course I lost it and much more by the
end of the cruise but it was vacation folks. The casino was very nice, and I might say
active for this sailing. Daytime activities were varied, and high energy
people will appreciate the numerous dance classes, excursus classes, and other physical
activities offered. We never attended them...just too busy
listening to Besa Me Mucho on the Verandah.
Deck Space
This ship appeared more crowded perhaps because of the usual 5000 unruly children that run
around and urinate in the swimming pools. On one sea day
the children had taken up two pools, and one jumped in on top of an elderly woman. While
she was not hurt, it could have been a disaster. One kudos to
RCL, they do limit children to one pool making every adult able to at least enjoy some
water experience. Since nothing on the Sun was limited (The way that
Disney plans on doing...now why would Disney limit children's access to pools if it was a
bad idea?), the pool area really becomes a wasted area that
cannot be enjoyed. We also experienced the pool towel thing again. It never amazes me how
many people reserve chairs by placing towels on them, and
how many people allow them to do so. By 9 am, every conceivable deck chair is taken, but
no one is on deck. They go back to sleep or go about their day,
only to use the chair for one hour or so latter on. When we need chairs, we simply remove
the personal belongings on the chair and give it to a staff
person who takes it to lost and found. Nine out of ten times, people returning forget
where the chairs were. If asked, we tell them staff members brought
their items to lost and found. Nothing else needs to be said.
Ports of Call
Ocho Rios - we liked this small and quaint little port. This is not a very developed area,
but in actuality it was not any more intimidating that the very sinister
and evil looking people in the Caymen Islands. After taking a catamaran to Dunns River
Falls (A little over rated in my opinion), we headed off into "town". If
you close your eyes to sneeze you will miss it so...don't sneeze. The first stop was this
ridiculous mall called the Taj Majal owned by Indians from India
touting very cheap and tourist tee-shirts and ash trays that said "Ocho Rios". A
few jewelry stores and very stale cigars and that's it. We quickly left the
complex. Why on earth would anyone want to by a T-shirts sold by a man from Bombay living
in Ocho Rios is beyond my imagination. We went over to the
craft market and found a nicer spirit and much nicer things to buy and great prices. Each
stall is an individual owner, and while I still think that one factory
makes everything sold to these islands anyway (they simply imprint the island name in the
same ash tray), it was a more pleasant experience to shop here.
Mind you the people are always asking you to see what you like, "Come into my store
man, look at my stuff" will be heard every ¼ inch you walk, but it was
by no means meant to be intimidating. You can simply say no thank-you.
Grand Cayman - Imagine an entire island where every native looks and acts like they are
morticians and you have arrived at Georgetown. While the
physical beauty of the island is evidenced everywhere, and the stores alone could rival
rodeo drive, the people here did not feel particularly welcome or
friendly. We of course did the annual pilgrimage to Sting Ray City. Suffice it to say that
once was enough, but it was a spectacular feeling to be with those
disgusting sting rays.
Cozumel - While this is a honky-tonk kind of place, the truth of the matter is you can
shop, swim in very nice crystal clear water, eat rather good Mexican
Food, or simply walk around. We like this port because of its diversity. We took the Jeep
Caravan tour which was fun, and at $175 for up to four people, it
was fairly reasonable. Although in actuality, you really do not go very far. For us city
people, it was a chance to ride in a jeep on the beach. For folks who
have done this before, you may want to skip it. The beach lunch was great, but the water
9/10 times is way too rough to swim in.
Princess Cays- The idea of a private island is somewhat interesting. You get to go ashore
for a day and hang out on a beach and perhaps engage in
some water sports...not a bad concept. In fact, I would imagine on some cruises it works
well. On this cruise it was a looser. Those "Private" islands are way
too small for everyone to get a decent chair and /or lounge so again, you have to race on
your vacation to enjoy the day. There are simply way too many
people. Children would think nothing of this crowding, however and are sure to have a
great time.
The biggest problem here is the over one hour wait for a tender. Unless you wake up very
early (Again, this is your vacation) and leave on the firs
