Firefly Park, Princess Cruises’ kids club for ages 0 to 6 aboard Sun Princess, is the largest in the fleet. Painted in hues of forest green and chocked with games, diversions and crafts, it is located on Deck 6 near guest relations and the ship’s sheltered Cove Balcony staterooms. You could tell Princess was slowly moving into the families-with-kids arena back in 2019, when it refitted the 2004-built Caribbean Princess with a new kids play area and splash park. Sun Princess, however, expands on the line’s offerings with revised spaces and new diversions that are sure to be attractive to families with little ones. Princess Cruises' SPHERE-class ships are two units by the Italian shipbuilder Fincantieri, with the first one (Sun Princess) entering service in 2024 and the second one (Star Princess) in 2025.

Eastern Caribbean
The Eastern and Western Caribbean itineraries are combinable into 14-day B2Bs/back-to-back cruises (Caribbean Adventurer). Alfredo's Pizzeria (Indoor-Outdoor Dining venue) has an open kitchen allowing passengers to watch as the chefs create pizza by hand/serve them straight out of the oven. New to the kitchen is the professional, open-mouth oven reaching 970 F (520 C) degrees.
Its pepped-up Piazza might turn off regulars
Rising three decks, the circular space features stadium-like seating around its second and third levels that gives it the feel of a theater in the round. Among other big changes, the ship's central hub, The Piazza, has been transformed into much more of a showroom (more on that in a moment), and there's yet another major new entertainment space at the top of the ship in The Dome — an unusual glass-covered venue. Princess is promising aerial shows in The Dome, but those, too, aren't quite ready to go (if you've noticed, this a theme with this ship; lots of its most notable new venues aren't ready). On Sun Princess, a trip down the vessel's main entertainment drag on Deck 7 in the evening takes you past one bustling nightspot after another, from an Irish pub with live music to a comedy club that doubles as a karaoke lounge. Until recently, the average age of a Princess cruiser was nearly 60, and its ships catered heavily to older couples and retirees.
Firefly Park is set up for arts and crafts, themed parties and group games aimed at the little ones. Princess has found popularity with travelers from Asia and Japan thanks to its deployment of Diamond Princess in the region, and Asian-American passengers have always been well represented onboard. The Princess demographic of today aboard Sun Princess is a diverse melting pot of races, though passengers still tend to predominantly hail from North America, regardless of ethnicity. Older kids and teens aboard Sun Princess are given their own dedicated clubs and rooms, and kids (and adults) will no doubt love the new Park19 activity zone on Deck 19 aft. Whether your tastes run to more casual, American-style food or authentic flavors from around the world, Sun Princess delivers with cuisine that really raises the bar for the line.
Princess Cruises revolutionizes main dining with 3 unique options
In addition to all the new features, several past Princess favorites have returned aboard Sun Princess. Princess is nearly 20 years behind some of its big-ship competitors in adding suite zones to ships. But the line is finally acknowledging it might have made a mistake in not jumping on the trend. There's also a built-in desk area across from the sofa with a chair and a generous amount of built-in closet storage near the entryway. The closet is deep enough to contain my large-size men's shirts and jackets on hangers without crushing them sideways, something that isn't always the case with built-in closets on newer ships.
While the finishings aren't luxurious, Deluxe Balcony Staterooms (the type of cabin that I was in and the most common cabin category on the ship) have an inviting, modern look with the right amount of furnishings and amenities, all in the right places. Judging from the fact that The Piazza has often been packed with onlookers this week during the many performances taking place in it, it might be that Princess has played this move to more piazza pizzazz just right. The area also has a ropes course with swinging bridges and balance beams and a climbing wall-like experience that will take visitors to a lookout at the very top of the ship, with slides that will take them back down. Princess regulars know what they like, and what they like isn't necessarily giant, activity-packed vessels. But that might not matter if Sun Princess succeeds in drawing in a new wave of Princess fans. Until the debut of Sun Princess in early 2024, Princess could trace its basic design and décor roots to the mid-1990’s, when the first Sun Princess debuted in 1995.
In addition, younger travelers will find major new tween and teen hangout zones (called Neon Grove and The Underground, respectively) within the ship, plus a large playroom for the littlest Princess cruisers called Firefly Park. It's also the first Princess ship with a separate suite complex aimed at the growing number of big-ship-loving vacationers willing to pay big bucks to be extra pampered while at sea. One of the more interesting things Princess has done with Sun Princess is to completely reimagine the dining experience in a subtle but meaningful way.
The views revolve around you.
All cabins, from cozy insides to spacious oceanview and balcony staterooms, and lavish suites, have been completely redesigned from the ground up. They offer improved bathrooms and closet storage spaces, more electrical outlets, an entirely new décor scheme and – most importantly – more living space. Lounge & Bar (deck 7) is a TV studio for the Princess Cruises' shipboard live TV show programming (spots and music performances) filmed each day to be broadcast to the passenger staterooms. The venue is redesigned and expanded (combines the design elements of Princess Live! and Explorer's Lounge), with full bar/beverage service, a stage (with a large LED screen) and is served by the Gelateria (fka Affogato Bar).

The sistership Star Princess is currently scheduled for delivery in August 2025. We know you love spending time with your favorite people, so we created a (tip)top-deck space everyone can enjoy...together. Soar like a bird 19 decks above the waves on the Sea Breeze Rollglider®, a first at sea.(You can even go for a ride now with this AR preview!) It's just a taste of what you'll find at this wonderland for kids and adults alike.
Feel like you’ve stepped into Hollywood’s iconic Magic Castle™, where time stands still and your imagination runs wild. The entertainment offerings on board the Sun Princess are just as innovative and thoughtfully designed as the ship itself. In fact, we're transforming the future of entertainment not just at sea, but anywhere.
Surrounding you with deluxe accommodations, a spacious Signature Penthouse Suite with balcony includes all the amenities of our Signature Collection, including access to the Signature Restaurant, Signature Lounge and Signature Sun Deck, a private area of The Sanctuary. Enjoy more living space, a separate seating area with sofa bed, enhanced amenities that range from priority embarkation and disembarkation to a complimentary mini-bar setup in suite and so much more. "Love by Britto" is a boutique restaurant/specialty dining venue via partnership with Romero Britto (1963-born Brazilian artist/painter, sculptor). The artworks and interior design were developed by Romero Britto and marked by bold patterns and vivid colors. The menu is prix fixe and crafted by Rudi Sodamin (Austria-born and France-trained master chef and culinary pop artist).
Princess Cruises is a USA-based passenger shipping company headquartered in Beverly Hills CA. A former subsidiary of P&O Princess Cruises (1977-founded), in 2003, the company merged with Carnival Corporation - the world's largest cruise shipowner. Among Princess Cruise Lines Ltd's assets is the Caribbean private island resort Princess Cays (on Bahamas Eleuthera Island's southern end), located approx 80 km (50 mi) from Nassau. Extraordinary Experience Following the successful debut of the first extraordinary experience with 360 onboard Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess, the next in the series is Spellbound by Magic Castle, in partnership with the famed Hollywood icon. The newest extraordinary experience blends the captivating world of magic with the art of mixology. The unique venue features incredible feats of magic from talented magicians, surprises in themed rooms and theatrical cocktails.
Our belief is that entertainment should always feel new, exciting, and keep you on your toes with spaces and experiences that you won't find anywhere else. Whether the calm of the deep blue sea or the adventure of a new city on the horizon, the Premium Oceanview stateroom ensures picture-perfect snapshots from the comfort of your room. This stateroom includes all the amenities of an interior room and the added benefit of ocean views that bring an airy openness to the space.
Princess developed its Piazza-style atrium concept back in 2006 and debuted it aboard Crown Princess. Flanked by glass elevators and quiet water features and bookended by The International Cafe and the wine-themed Vines, the Piazza has been a sort of oasis of calm on every Princess ship since. For the first time since the 1990s, Princess has entirely re-thought its cabin design and layout. And while cabins on Sun Princess share some structural similarities with Carnival's Excel-class ships (think Mardi Gras, Carnival Celebration and Carnival Jubilee), fittings, fixtures and soft furnishings are all different and elevated. The suites themselves, while big in many cases, lack the sort of high-end design that you'll often find in top cruise ship suites.
