    That is why I love going fishing with my friends. I have known Sam,Mark, and Charlie for over 40 years. I live out of state and meeting them at Youngs is a great time (we tend to have many more disagreements then you and your school buddies).

    Thanks for this video it's so helpful. We have upcoming cruise on Deck 9 (9211). I am thinking it's location will avoid the heavy traffic areas, hopeful. Have couple of concerns 1) the full height glass panel on the deck and 2) outside area of deck seems to be viewable from decks above. Also, 9211 is located just above Princess Arena, will there be noise issue with this? Any comments to help would be great. thanks!!

    • @rexdillinger
      @rexdillinger День назад

      The full glass is a bout personal preference. I like leaning over and looking down at the ocean. Don’t think a full glass will allow that. It should give you more wind protection though. And a part of your balcony will be visible from above, but only part.

    Wow... thanks so much for this video. This has made SO much of a difference in what cabin we were going to pick... We almost picked a room directly above that cabana deck with ZERO privacy and no view straight down to the water.... You saved us a lot of disappointment!! We are going to do a cove balcony on deck 6. Quieter, more private, better views and actually cheaper as well! thank you!!

    (NEW-ER SUBSCRIBER)Ty so much for all of the wonderful videos you've shown of the Sun Princess. I've made a playlist for my Sun Princess cruise and many of your videos have been added! I love your Cowpie award! I am very excited to see your upcoming adventures, especially to see your Mob Museum B-roll and interview with your relative! I tell everyone I meet the Mob Museum is THE BEST attraction in Las Vegas, so if you haven't been, GO!! Great price, great staff, AWESOME exhibit, and interactive fun. It's great for all ages because they go over lots of history for many states, not just Vegas. I was pleased to see all of the info about my home state (Ohio) at the museum. Oh yeah... I was a hitman (this is an inside joke - go to the Mob Museum to know what I'm talking about)! Make sure you allocate a few hours to do and see everything. And if you want to visit the Speakeasy, leave the kiddos at home! PS - I'm a writer (writing my first novel). I can't wait to check out your books; I've added them to my TBR list. I'm sailing the Sun Princess for my first-ever cruise (and also as a celebration cruise for, hopefully, finishing the novel). It will also be a self-imposed, personalized writing retreat to start my second novel, as I'm sure I'll get a lot of writing material sailing the ship. Wish me luck!

    • @rexdillinger
      @rexdillinger Месяц назад

      Good luck with your book(s)! The hardest part is the marketing. Don’t be taken in by all the schemes out there. All they will do is take your money and provide minimal results. I did the interviews with my brother-in-law, but he wasn’t as forthcoming coming as I had hoped he would be. I understand why! That project is on the back burner for now. I hope you enjoy my books. Please let me know your honest thoughts on them when you have finished. They are 2 very different stories but are slightly connected. Enjoy your cruise on the Sun. I will be back on her December 14 of this year. Hopefully she’ll be ready this time!

    Your video prompted us to move up one more deck from our mid-forward Deluxe Balcony #11260 to #12260 for a little more privacy, more distance from hubbub of cabana deck and better view/vista of ocean. We had concerns after watching some other videos, but yours solidified it for us. Thank you.

    @charlesclawson4588 Месяц назад

    I believe cruising is all about A persons perspective, and it's obvious you prefer Celebrity over Princess regardless of how good or bad it was. I've been on many Princess ships and one Celebrity and I liked them both, but I did not necessarily see Celebrity being better, but was about the same. The Beyond had 4 MDR's with different food selections between them, and you are dead wrong about Princess menu selections, cause items you said they don't offer, they absolutely do. I never once saw the maitre d' and the service was dead slow every night. Just because you didn't see it or couldn't find it doesn't mean it's not there or offered. I did enjoy my Celebrity cruise, just like the Princess cruises, along with Norwegian, MSC, Carnival, Royal Caribbean, but to me they all have their strong points and weak points. After nearly 45 cruises in 8 years I've done a lot of cruising, but I also don't have a preference on one or the other. On a scale of 1-10 for accuracy on your video, I give you a 3.

    • @rexdillinger
      @rexdillinger Месяц назад

      Sorry you get I was biased. I tried to be fair in my assessments and just reported what we experienced. We’ve been on almost 50 cruises and most have been on Princess. We are Elite and enjoy the perks that we get from Princess because of our past loyalty. However, there was a decide decline in princess from the past. They can do better but they didn’t.

    Man, you are so slanted towards Celebrity your comparison almost does not seem real. Cruise Lines are like children each with their own strengths and their own weaknesses. That's how I see it after 144 cruises taken since 1971. Sadly, people are as polarized about cruise lines as they are politics!

    • @rexdillinger

      I’m sorry, but you are wrong! Princess has been our go to for several years but this year the 3 Princess cruises we took were not up to par! I’m hopeful that the Sun in December will restore my trust. Just calls ‘em as I sees em!

    Our cruise on Sun Princess was very disappointing in my opinion (April 24).

We’ve rebooked on Celebrity for our next cruise and won’t be going back to Princess !

    Was on the 9-day March cruise to Cayman, Aruba and Curacao. I completely agree with the review. Fantastic ship, crew and cruise. In general this ship is for the older generation (like me). Very few children (I love them but not when your trying to relax commotion free). I like this size ship. It's not so massive that it takes 10-15minutes to get from one end to the other. I heard 2 complaints during the cruise. 1. Because of the up coming dry dock, there was some work (banging and grinding) being done during the day at certain parts of the ship that got a little noisy. 2. (My complaint, not a ship problem) The ship sponsored Aruba excursion was on a 30yr "Party" School bus that needed it's shocks and suspension replaced 20yrs ago. I needed a chiropractor when it was over. I swear a few bumps nearly ruptured my spleen. 9/10

    Rex, Spirit Airlines hasn’t yet released their fares for December, but you might be able to snag a round-trip fare from ORD to FLL for under $100 bucks per person if you don’t check any luggage. A room at the Ocean Drive Villas can be had for $63, but this does not include breakfast. There is a convenience store just around the corner where you can grab a Pop Tart. It is close to the airport and cruise terminal, so Uber should be cheap. You can save money on shore excursions by walking to the public beach in Amber Cove and Grand Turk, and a snorkeling mask should be available at Walgreens for under $5.00. There are free lounge chairs on Princess Cays. If you only use the free internet sites available at the port and request the Passenger Service desk to remove the gratuities from your account, you can save even more. Enjoy your cruise!
