Only seems appropriate to do a food focused post for Super Bowl Sunday 😄🍕🍻. For foodies like me, you will love all the options and outstanding cuisine. Only down side of so many specialty restaurants was we did not have dinner in the Sanctuary dining room. Guess we will have to sail again to get to what we missed 😆.

Itineraries can and often do change on cruises. We were not fans of 2 sea days in a row at the end of sailings in the past but I knew part way through this cruise I could stay on another week! Sanctuary is awesome and so many specialty restaurants.

For those following our experience in the Sanctuary Collection on Sun Princess, here is what is included with the Premier package.

Suites, of course, are part of the collection and include access to the private suite lounge. The majority of cabins in the Sanctuary Collection are mini-suites, but there are more affordable balconies available. Because Sanctuary is new Princess is offering a limited time deal with $100 to $4200 off if you book this month! Payment options available with out fees.

I would be honored to help you plan an amazing sailing in Sanctuary!

We continue to enjoy the beautiful Sun Princess and Sanctuary. Port days have express menu for breakfast. Omelletes were not on the menu, but when I asked; is it possible to get one? The response was, "of course, no problem" in a beautiful accent. Living the life this week ⚓️🍹☀️

Roatan was our first stop. We tried something new on an excursion I booked independently. It was a beautiful day on shore and another enjoyable evening.

Sun Princess sailing day 2, a sea day. We are in the Sanctuary Club, a new luxury offering on Princess. We spent time in the private Sanctuary Club area today and did not explore the overall ship in the way we normally would. Plenty of time to do that in the days ahead!

Worried a cruise will not allow you enough time to explore a destination? We can add a pre- and/or post-cruise extension 🚄 🌲. Railbookers is a great partner I work with to find a journey that is a perfect complement to the beginning or end of your cruise.
