Three previously announced attractions for the top deck of Princess Cruises’ Sun Princess are no longer scheduled to open.
Princess Cruises has revealed that some of the previously announced top-deck features for its new ship Sun Princess will not be opening.
In a press statement, the line said “We regret to announce that Princess is unable to accept delivery of the RollGlider, Coastal Climb, and Ropes Course features within Park19 aboard Sun Princess and those experiences will not be opening.”
Park19 is a three-story family activities area at the top of the ship. The rollglider would have been an overhead track that allowed seated and harnessed riders to reach speeds of up to 11 miles per hour during a 60 to 90 second experience.
Coastal Climb was supposed to be a climbing structure where passengers could ascend from deck 19 to deck 20 through a series of obstacles. Once at the top, they’d be able to slide back down to the bottom.
The statement continued, “We are actively evaluating these areas for future recreational opportunities to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests.”
No reason has been given as to why the attractions will not be opening.
Other attractions and amenities that are currently open and available in Park19 include:
- Infinite Horizon: Leaning tilt walls that cantilever over the side of the ship, allowing guests to peer out from deck 19 and look down to deck 9 and beyond
- Hammock Area: Relaxing hammocks that offer a great way to hang out with family and friends
- Splash Zone: A whimsical splash area with pop jets and a beautiful water sculpture offering a refreshing and relaxing area to chill
- Recreational Court: This multifunctional sports court offers a number of options including cornhole, ping pong, shuffleboard, and more
- Jogging Track: A refreshing open-air track where guests can walk, jog, or run at their own leisure and pace
Sun Princess is Princess Cruises’ newest ship and the first in its Sphere class. It debuted in February 2024.
