The Sun Princess, Princess Cruises’ first Sphere-class ship, was expected to offer several attractions geared toward young cruisers in its Park19 activity zone. However, the cruise line announced that three of these attractions – RollGlider, Coastal Climb, and the ropes course – will not be installed on the ship. This cancellation comes as a disappointment for families looking for entertainment options for guests of all ages.
One of the attractions that will not come to fruition on the Sun Princess is RollGlider, a zipline-like ride with an overhead track. Guests were supposed to be seated and harnessed for an 11 mph thrill ride. Unfortunately, Princess Cruises announced that this exciting attraction will not be available on the ship. The cancellation of RollGlider means that young cruisers will miss out on a fun and adventurous experience that was promised to be part of the onboard entertainment.
Another two attractions that were planned for the Sun Princess but will not be installed are the Coastal Climb and the ropes course. The Coastal Climb was intended to be a climbing structure that allowed guests to move from decks 19 to 20 through various obstacles while enjoying views of the sea. After reaching the top, guests were supposed to slide back down to the bottom for an added thrill. Similarly, the ropes course was meant to provide an active and challenging experience for guests looking to test their agility and strength. Without these attractions, young cruisers will have fewer options for staying active and entertained during their time on the Sun Princess.
Princess Cruises had initially promoted Park19 as an area of the Sun Princess that would offer activities for guests of all ages, bringing together multigenerational families. However, the cancellation of the RollGlider, Coastal Climb, and ropes course means that families will not have access to the full range of entertainment options that were promised. As a result, both children and adults may feel disappointed by the missed opportunities for fun and excitement on the ship.
The cancellation of attractions on the Sun Princess is a disappointment for young cruisers and families looking for entertainment options onboard. With the RollGlider, Coastal Climb, and ropes course no longer being installed on the ship, guests will miss out on thrilling experiences and active challenges that were intended to enhance their cruise vacation. Princess Cruises’ decision not to explain the reasons for the cancellation only adds to the disappointment surrounding the missed opportunities for fun on the Sun Princess.
