Sun Princess - Eastern Caribbean with Puerto Rico
A week-long loop out of Port Everglades that pairs the Dominican Republic's Amber Cove with an evening in Old San Juan and a beach day at Grand Turk. Three sea days give plenty of time to explore Princess's largest ship, from the glass-domed Dome to the three-story Piazza under the Sphere-class ship's signature geodesic glass.

What Travelers Say About Sun Princess
Reviews of the ship itself — the same for every Sun Princess sailing. Based on 3,500 discussions.
Sun Princess is a deliberate break from the classic Princess mold, the largest ship the line has ever built and the flagship of its new Sphere Class. Debuting in February 2024 as Princess's first LNG-powered vessel at roughly 178,000 gross tons and 4,300 guests, it trades the line's restrained heritage for a bolder, livelier, contemporary feel. The signature space is The Sphere, a three-deck wall of curved glass spanning decks 7 to 9 that turns the central Piazza into a sunlit, theatrical hub and immediately signals this is a more modern, entertainment-forward Princess.
What People Love
- The Sphere is a genuine showstopper: a three-deck wall of curved glass that floods the central Piazza with ocean light and feels unlike any prior Princess ship.
- Completely redesigned staterooms with brighter modern decor, larger balconies, glass-walled showers, full sofas, and far more outlets than older Princess cabins.
- Smart destination-dispatch elevators that pre-assign your car genuinely cut wait times and reduce crowding at the banks.
Common Complaints
- A famously rough launch: the debut was delayed twice, the ship sailed incomplete, and some early passengers were bumped because cabins and amenities were not ready.
- The Park19 top-deck thrill features (RollGlider, ropes course, climbing wall) never opened and were partly removed, a heavily publicized letdown.
- Early tender-boat problems caused cancelled port calls, including Santorini and Kotor, on initial sailings.
