Alaska Cruise July 23-30, 2006
Sun Princess
The hub of this ship is its four-story Grand Plaza, resplendent with glass elevators, circular floating staircase and stained-glass dome. A broad teak deck encircles the Promenade Deck and features vintage canopied steamer chairs. Relax over a cup of cappuccino and freshly baked pastry in the Patisserie or toast each other in Magnums, which serves champagne, wine and caviar. Brass, leather furniture and rosewood-paneled walls create an intimate, clubby feeling in the Wheelhouse Bar. The 24-hour Horizon Court offers a casual alternative to meals in the two main dining rooms. Work off midnight buffets at the top-of-the-ship paddle tennis court, fitness center or pool. There's a teen center and video arcade, as well as a children's center with splash pool, video games, doll house and castle.
