I Spent 62 Busy Hours on the Newest Love Boat

Your blessed to get a free cruise. Love your vlogs. But, Tyra Banks ice cream? Well the ship looks beautiful ❤

Is there a live show tomorrow night tony? Need info. Best Steven

Hi Tony! I was on the ship too as a travel advisor. I saw you a couple of times but I never stopped you to say hello. I watch your videos and I think they are great. What’s interesting is your experience was much different than mine and the fact that they seem to have more of a scheduled presentation for media than they did Travel advisors, so it was good to see some of the experiences that I did not get to see. It’s really hard to get the true experience in a three day cruise on the ship of that size. But overall, I think the food was excellent, and the service was great. But I also agree with you the loyal Princess cruiser I’m not sure if they’re going to love it. Maybe it’s more for new to Princess guests. I’ve been booking Princess over 25 years and I have a large loyal Princess clientele. I have someone booked for next year med for 21 days and I was happy they booked a sanctuary, mini suite, and will have the perks of the sanctuary restaurant and pool area 👍

[@kennethpalmerii1747]

“The food didn’t look abused” I think that is a fantastic way to describe buffet food that is handled by guests instead of the crew! I’ve been on one Carnival cruise where the buffet was crew served and I must say, I prefer that option! I’ve seen too many times when, to put it politely, old farts come out of the crapper without washing their hands. 🤢

[@amandareiche9083]

Carnival--the gross factor at every level!

[@CruisingWithJT]

Incredible recap of the action-packed 62 hours, Tony! It was so nice to see the memories again through your eyes, can’t believe only 2 weeks ago we were there! Time flies by when you’re having fun 🤩

[@TheJennyBShow]

JT! I was so glad that Tony was able to sail with you again. 😊

[@AbigailGerlach-zt1sh]

Never heard of Brito, so much for "world famous". I vote for the sushi. Love it! I'm not against change, if it logical or rational. Change for change sake...not so much.

[@madkeithpet5892]

World famous in the USA.😃

[@beachblythe]

@@madkeithpet5892I’m American and I’ve never heard of him either! 😂

[@herminacarmona8426]

As I watch your video, Tony, I am actually on the Sun Princess. Have been for the last week and will be for 2 more weeks. I agree with you on all counts! Lots of changes to old school Princess, but I too welcome innovation. My biggest concern was the use of The Dome as a venue for shows. On a ship this size, it is impractical because it doesn’t accommodate enough people in one sitting. The lines are long to get in - if you do get it. I am fortunate that I have another opportunity to try for it this week, but that’s not always the case. Either they use a bigger venue or have more repeats of the same show. Or they will have a lot of disgruntled passengers.

[@maverickspirit208]

I had such a glorious time just watching your special experience on the Sun Princess! So many of the mega ships seem so mass produced and industrial-genaric, but this looked just WOW!!!

[@rhondalyn100]

What a beautiful ship and great preview...thanks so much!

[@IslandTimeTravel]

Awesome recap! We enjoyed spending some time together the first night.

[@TheMoonlightAdventures]

Thank you for your honesty and fantastic coverage as always! We were on the Transatlantic ahead of you guys. We weren't super impressed with the ship, but we also know that they have a learning curve with this type of ship. Bottom line is we will definitely sail on here again, but we would prefer a Carnival Excel class ship over her.

[@jameshartnett8947]

Tony, Thanks for the informative video. We'll be on the Sun Princess Nov. 30. Since we're Platinum members we've been to many of the Caribbean stops so we haven't scheduled any excursions (yet). One main reason is that we've seen many review/tour videos about the Sun Princess and determined exploring the ship will be an adventure. We also were just upgraded to "Sanctuary Collection" which I have no idea what that encompasses, it just adds to the adventure. JimH

[@beachblythe]

I’m so jealous of that high tea!!

[@bruciethecuz9031]

Great review and info about the ship, Tony. Our travel friends, who were on her in June, really loved the Spellbound experience. Have a wonderful time with Jenny when you board the Sun in December. Looking forward to your further exploration of that intriguing ship! 👍😎

[@angelabrown3994]

But it looked like a lot of fun_never a dull moment 🤣

[@charlottedowns6652]

Another great video Tony! Looks like Princess did a spectacular job entertaining their guests!

[@KlingonPrincess]

That was a fabulous look at the Sun Princess! I would have wanted to linger over the sushi 😁 The drone show was spectacular, saw it in full on Don's channel. Thanks a bunch! 🌻🍄

[@trishreed1176]

We're on the Sun this December, too. Looking forward to getting on this beautiful, new ship.

Great video! Thank you Tony. We will be boarding Dec 7! Hopefully you will be on that cruise too!!!!!

Hi Tony another great video this is why you are # 1 Brother, well my wife and I are booked for a February sailing looking forward to 14 days on this magnificent ship, wish you and the Jenny B was on this cruise, Tony please keep me in prayer there is a possibility that I may need open heart surgery, Thank you & God Bless you and all.

[@johnstoutley7421]

Wow, that was a busy 62 hours....Nicely covered. Not sure this ship is for us...too large I think. But nice that you took the time to share your experience with us.

[@jeffmagill8703]

Afternoon Tony and the Loca Fam!

[@TheJennyBShow]

Hey Jeff 😊

[@paulinevahedi4797]

I spent 3 weeks sailing the SUN in the Mediterranean back in May & had a spectacular time! The ship was gorgeous & the entertainment was the best I have ever experienced on a cruise ship. I highly recommend sailing the SUN

[@Deborah-s9t]

Looks like a fantastic time Tony

[@cruisingwithkristie]

Great video. I liked this style very much. You are a great storyteller. 😊

[@maryanncapece2623]

Hi Tony. Wow... Talk about a whirl wind trip. You certainly had alot of things packed into what seemed like just a few hours. After all that I'm sure you were tired. Now you can go back and enjoy many of the area's you're interested in. It's been a hot minute since I've been on Princess, this just makes me want to check it out, especially the Sun Princess. As always thank you for all you do ❤

[@ALifeintheParks]

Looks like you crammed a lot into those 62 hours Tony, she’s a beautiful ship. Many thanks for sharing.

[@abedshaloufe]

7 nights is not enouph onboard the beautiful SUN PRINCESS, I was onboard 2 months ago , and planning to go back next summer. but for sure on a mini suite including the premier package , or SANCTURY SUITE if prices are affordable. Enjoy your trip TONY.

[@eminiarvii]

I am a princess loyalist and i am excited to see a new Princess ship layout. 147 days to go. And i have 21 days to get the ship layout under my belt, 3/22/2025….Thx for your recap🚢🙂

[@beckiwoodhamscpccpbcrc6681]

Holy cow, I love Tyra Banks. That is amazing.

[@nicza460]

Enjoyed the way you told the story of your experience on Sun Princess! The ship looks very nice and I would be interested in going on it. We are going on a Princess ship for the first time next summer-- Royal Princess to Alaska and can't wait to see what Princess is all about.

[@karmamule]

This was great to see because we'll be on the Magic Castle theme cruise in November (though it was just a regular cruise when we booked it) and are very much looking forward to it. We got a cabin upgrade too so that was frosting on the cake. Look forward to seeing your full trip on Sun in the future.

[@ninerjen1]

I’m surprised you could remember so much. Ha So much fun tho. I love the people you were surrounded by. The drone show was incredible. I could watch that all night! I look forward to checking it out! Thanks Tony. ❤

[@joeschiltz468]

We just got off of the sun. We were in Walter's group and had a phenomenonal time with a couple of hick ups. We had a sphere balcony which was neat. My wife and I enjoyed the mdr more than the specialty restaurants and really enjoyed the thermal suite.

[@aliasmarg8ta127]

Wow! That was so exciting! I am exhausted just watching the recap of all the activities.

[@GayesyJ]

Looks like an amazing ship and an awesome (albeit super busy!) time on board! Very exciting! 😊

[@ricoatthebeach]

I'm getting on the discovery. Princess in one week but after watching your video I kind of wish I was getting on the sun. Princess. Not really. I'm very much looking forward to this Cruise. Thanks for all your content Tony. A daily dose of Cruise news really carries me through between sailings.

[@marcozaff6699]

We will be on the Sun Princess in one month. So your video was most helpful. Thanks!

[@maryhill4978]

We just got off the enchanted princess today! They have an O’malleys, it was very popular:) we could never get in for dinner.

[@Ken-iy9mb]

My POV on my 7 days completed today. Tony . can't wait to see your video on your trip as a customer. I think we said on out trip a dozen time " what would Tony say" Direct: I hope all the folks who love the ship have a great time, but this big ship is not for us... Yes, the lifts are nice and work rather well. ? some of the lifts have a screen in the lift with the floors to pick but it does not work ...confusing. The eatery ...where is line ...caused some exchanged words ....it got better near the end of the cruise but it sure was not clear....If this was to save food, this is a miss...it was difficult to convey how much you wanted. Alfredo's: not my place with the game shows going on in the " Plazza " noise American Dinner: nice place but small menu. Eclipse: easy in and out place to eat ( we had the Soleil dinning at first but slow eating.) The catch by Rudi was nice setting but food for us was salty...the table next to us overheard us and agreed. O'Malley's: I tried many times but could not get in. International Cafe " my wife's go to place and she liked it. Park 19: all the riding parts are gone but the structure is still in tack...(funny it's to be torn down but they were painting it?)

[@happycruiser]

Sun Princess booked for May. Can't wait.

I’m going to admit that up until this moment, after seeing soooo many videos about Sun Princess, I was convinced that the name of the restaurant was LOVE BITE BURRITO 🌯. 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@B-ch6uk]

Not a fan of media cruise reviews but I look forward to your next one when you're there as a paying guest.

[@AronRoss72]

Great video Tony! I would LOVE to sail on this ship! One day hopefully. And I love destination elevators. Got to experience them on Carnival Panorama. In one week I will be on the Celebration. I wish Carnival would have continued with those elevators.

[@scotttravels517]

Tony like the only 😅 person to show up to all the event rest are like pool time or casino time

[@amandareiche9083]

I cannot believe the price of dinner for two at Love by Britto-better a Captain’s dinner or the Wine pairings experience.

Got a question and couldn't think of anybody else but you. We thoroughly enjoy show a lot of knowledge we have been traveling for years. We're in our mid-60s technology. We're not that good at it. So the simple question here is my wife wants to know that if we buy the internet package on carnival cruises and this is on the sunshine can she play her Candy crush?❤️🐸

Hey Tony- it’s not pronounced Britto but “ Brea toe” shout out to Ludicrous 🤣 Fantastic recap!! I would love this experience

Thanks for the different view. I don’t eat seafood so I think I will skip this one lol

[@VBlake-lh9wq]

Spent 32 days on the Sun Princess.. Brought it across the Atlantic from Athens to Fort Lauderdale. My comment would b they better redesign the ship. Way to many passengers for dining n venues they offer. It's sad when u spend a month + on a ship, n never get to see the Aqua show n lose ur enthusiasm to go to the arena to see the shows because u have to stand n line for hours + to even get a seat. We were premier for the Transatlantic part of our trip n got there 45 minutes ahead of showtime, n they told us ",sorry , we r full " We never heard so many ",sorrys", n I apologize, n all our years of cruising.. N if we get 2 hot meals n the dining room, consider urself lucky .

[@ann8869]

Headed to see The Sun Princess in January 😎

[@MsPixieD]

I remember videos when the Sun Princess first launched. They were rehearsing some type of Cirque de Soleil show. Did they say whatever happened to that? Thanks Tony!

No sure . I think it will be a sports deck.

You are simply the Princess sales agent-paid w/62 hours of rushing around-worn out indeed.

[@TRAINRUNNA1]

So Tony you didn't try Lido Pizza or Lido Tacos?!! What are you Lido Loca? 😂

[@kenphillips5260]

did they take down the lighthouse on the point in Nassau?

[@LaLidoLoca]

I don’t think so. I’ll have to look at the full clip, but that is where the Royal beach club is going.

[@mariala7719]

Do they have solo cabins?

[@philipsauers4987]

These massive ships should ONLY CRIUSE 5 DAYS MINIMUM. I can't see spending so much for only 3-4 days on those monsters along with airfare and hotels before and after.

[@williammiller5449]

Did Princess do a presentation on the ship's engineering (e.g.; the LNG fuel system)?

[@LaLidoLoca]

There was an environmental tour on the agenda where they covered many of those aspects.

[@BBTICKLER]

There is no more American idea than convincing people to pay extra for food on a cruise ship.
