Hi Joey, such luxury. Impressed how they managed to get all that food on the ship and staff is first class all around . You've done a great job showcasing the Sun Princess for sure.👏

[@TheJoeyP]

Thanks Bruce, it was a challenge to eat all that, but someone has to do it!

[@LeeDesignStudioYT]

I'm taking my mom on the Sun Princess next year! I can't wait to eat all the yummy food! Thanks so much for the video! I really shouldn't watch this late at night. I'm so hungry right now ;D

[@TheJoeyP]

you will both love it! the food is amazing

[@LeeDesignStudioYT]

@@TheJoeyP My only fear is that i'm going to get super fat on the trip >_

[@jessicaroberts2408]

Thank you for making this one! We’re sailing Sun Princess this Fall and we were really not sure which specialty dining to choose, so this helps ☺️

[@TheJoeyP]

You cannot really go wrong, which are you thinking?

[@jessicaroberts2408]

@@TheJoeyP I think it’s going to be Crown Grill and Sabatinis!

[@TheJoeyP]

@@jessicaroberts2408 you will love them both, the butchers block is quite the experience though

I discovered Dario in a book titled Heat. Then, that same year (2014) I visited his Butcher Shop in Panzano, Italy. It was amazing. He' s this huge presence (is hand was bigger than my head). You walked in and AC/DC was blaring, where we had bread and chianti. Then, we went across the street to his restaurant where we had a 14 course meal of meat. Amazing. I was so excited to see he has a restaurant on a ship. Will be going on The Sun next year.

[@TheJoeyP]

ah you are going to love it, it might not beat your experience but it is cool to have it on the ship that is for sure

[@ELEKTRARE]

Teppanyaki is the best entertaining restaurant for sure luuuuuuvvvvvv iiiiiiittttt 😊❤

[@TheJoeyP]

Hahaha that’s for sure

[@sondrajas758]

Going on the intro cruise mid October so this was the perfect video. Thank you!

[@TheJoeyP]

I’m more than happy to have helped you! You’ve going to love it! I hope the other videos are helpful too

[@sondrajas758]

Excellent content! Just found your channel. When they played the titanic song you were low key like "for reals" 😆

[@1987crystalchik]

My husband and I will be on that sailing also! Can't wait! 😊

[@sondrajas758]

@@1987crystalchik See you there!

[@TheJoeyP]

@@sondrajas758 hahaha I know!! Couldn’t believe it

[@Hulalulatallulahoop2]

I loved the over an hour long video! Couldn't get enough of seeing all the food, wow! My local posh supermarket sells those Tomahawk steaks and they're HUGE!

[@TheJoeyP]

hahaha you better treat yourself to one then

[@boreilly82]

I've been waiting for this!

[@TheJoeyP]

Hope you enjoy it

[@CatfishandCrappie]

Great video I enjoyed it very much! We will be planning our cruise on the sun princess very soon. This December we are going on the Caribbean Princess for the 2nd time! We can not wait!

[@TheJoeyP]

thank you, I am glad you liked it! you are going to have a great time

[@sinethglueck2384]

We will be on Sun Feb 2rd . Can’t wait to try specialty !

[@TheJoeyP]

You are going to love it, which are you thinking?

[@rickandmaryruppel2455]

Awesome food review. Keep them coming. We will be on the Sun in Feb. 2025

[@TheJoeyP]

thank you! You are going to love it!

[@pipday1356]

I’m sold! Get me on this cruise ship! 🤩

[@karmamule]

We'll be on it in November. Still feels like forever away but I'm sure it'll fly by once we're there.

[@pipday1356]

@@karmamule amazing 🤩 it looks fabulous. Enjoy!

[@TheJoeyP]

Haha get your cruise booked

[@misskaylaw519]

Do you remember what time you were eating at Kai? Looked like the ideal time. I want to beat the Piazza noise. 2 weeks til my cruise!

[@TheJoeyP]

If I remember, it was 17:30 or 18;00 - right when they opened I think

[@bobbypruitt9361]

Great review vlogs for the Sun Princess! I usually Solo travel on the NCL ships and have been regularly since the end of the pandemic. I love it. Your review of Sun Princess apply’s to much of cruising, solo cruising and travel in general. A truly balanced observation is one thing verses people who love to constantly complain. You have the ability offer such balance and set expectation. I love how you emphasize one’s ability to customize their experience, by what they are willing to pay for. I do not think that having a choice as being Nickel and dimed, as much as the ability customize one’s own vacation experience for what works for them in a mass travel experience. You produced some of the best, highest quality vlogs I’ve seen in a while reviewing a cruise ship!! I hope you continue cruising and reviewing other lines. Thank you!!

[@TheJoeyP]

really happy you enjoyed it and found it useful and you thought the quality was good. Fingers crossed for more in the future :)

[@marywinter8216]

Presently on a Princess ship with reservations for the Crown on Thursday. Really looking forward to it since watching your video. New subscriber as of today. Thank you.

[@TheJoeyP]

Oh you’re going to love it! The quality of the steak really surprised me actually, as good as any I’ve had elsewhere.

[@irishinusa1615]

Crown Grill is one of our favorite restaurants at sea. Especially the crab cake and French ouion soup ❤ Great vlog 👍

[@TheJoeyP]

so good isn't it!

[@lilemmyRA]

Looks delicious! Thanks for posting. But I wish you'd also included some content on the shabu shabu at Umai. Everyone reviews the teppenyaki only.

[@TheJoeyP]

Ah! Unfortunately I ran out of time and didn’t get to go back for that :( next time!

[@Dm-wf5ro]

Excellent content I’ll be sailing on her in October of this year when she comes to the U.S for the Caribbean season. In the past the cover charge included the gratuity is that still true or do you leave a separate gratuity

[@TheJoeyP]

You are going to love it! If you are on the plus package or above, it is all included

[@quinnypig1]

I’m on the Sun princess right now

[@TheJoeyP]

Are you enjoying it?

[@boreilly82]

Is it brilliant?

[@betttyyip572]

I will be taking the Sun Princess in December, after I watched this video, I definitely will get the premium package to take advantage of the unlimited specialty dinings.

[@DawnP-iw5yg]

Is the cover charge included in the premium package or separate?

[@betttyyip572]

The premium package now includes unlimited specialty dinning, you do not have to pay any cover charge to dine at a specialty restaurant if you have the premium package. I think at the time of this vlog was posted, the premium package only included 2 specialty dinning. Keep in mind, the new price for the premium package is now $90USD , an additional $10 more than the time of this video.

[@TheJoeyP]

Even I didn’t know that, that’s awesome

[@TheJoeyP]

Seems like someone knowing better than me already answered

[@boreilly82]

I've booked the teppanyaki and Crown Grill, and I'll also book Spellbound as soon as they release the availability

[@TheJoeyP]

Yes spell bound was good too, I just couldn’t film it for obvious reasons, ruins the magic

[@boreilly82]

Great video mate. I'm definitely going to try the whole 'I have to have steak but I'm so tempted by the lamb' to see if I get the same result. Cheers!

[@candyrose8473]

thank you for your great descriptions, my husband is blind and he can 'see' the food you speak of thanks!

[@TheJoeyP]

That is incredible, I am so happy to hear it is useful

[@raydesborough7333]

One of the best food videos I have seen am travelling on sky Princess soon am now looking forward to it the only thing you have not mentioned is ie the meat feast is $49 you don’t mention the 18% gratuity which puts another £6 - 8 on price.

[@TheJoeyP]

sure, but I was on the Premier Package on this ship, and the Plus package on Sky, so it is covered. but you are right, if not, you would pay the gratuity too - Happy that you enjoyed the video.

[@lindareavey425]

Going in October and then again in February and March 2025. You've done a spectacular job of describing the specialty dining venues. And now to make the hard decisions. 😉😘

[@TheJoeyP]

Go for the 3 on the first and the other 3 on the second haha! You only live once :)

[@lornaandrewes3611]

Only just found your channel, really enjoyed this. I’m curious, what is the island you grew up in?

[@TheJoeyP]

A little island in the Channel Islands :)

[@maxf3253]

Enjoy Joe

[@TheJoeyP]

Thank you :)

[@angelacincilei9010]

Thanks!! Bravo for this video!

[@TheJoeyP]

My pleasure :)

[@pakishia]

Hey Joe. So that’s the video you said it would be my penance? You are wrong my friend. That’s a reward 😃. I am on it!!

[@TheJoeyP]

hahaha I am glad that you enjoyed

[@antech555]

It is a fully decked out floating resort.

[@TheJoeyP]

haha pretty much! Really cannot complain at any of the food experiences

[@JudyCaraker]

Do the specialty restaurants allow you to choose more than one appetizer, or were They wanting you to promote there food?

[@TheJoeyP]

To be fair, it happened multiple times where people would bring me both choices when I was considering. But I think it would be unfair to expect, I never asked. If it was offered I would accept it. If not, I’d make my choice between the two.

[@Livinginmadeira]

Salad-y things 😜

[@TheJoeyP]

get them out!!! not as good as from your garden

[@Livinginmadeira]

🤤 how did you manage to eat all that food!

[@TheJoeyP]

my stomach seems to be a bottomless pit!

[@jeanettesmith3080]

We leave 9/23!!

[@TheJoeyP]

🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@jonesy77777]

As much as i really like the videos etc.., if i were there in person I would not appreciate some guy doing a presentation at the dinner table and standing over the food with a camera. It was odd that he was up there beside the cutting board in front of everyone

[@TheJoeyP]

First of all, I sat on my own table. Away from everyone, so I can choose how to eat. You don’t think I asked permission first before going up during the theatrical part? I don’t just rock up and start recording!
