Chose this cruise because we wanted to see Fall Colors in Canada/New England and had had favorable experiences on Princess in the past.
However, this is an OLD ship (2004 refurbished 2019) and shows its age as well as lack of modern amenities. Although we didn't pay the most for our oceanview cabin we did not expect it to have bunk beds which protruded from the wall on either side of the queen ...
We had booked this cruise hoping to see fall colors but much of the trees had not yet turned. We booked an overnight stay in Montreal with Princess before embarking on the cruise. Montreal accommodations were nice but the transfer process was lacking. The busses picked us up so late that we didn’t reach the ship until 4:00 pm which caused us to miss out on several hours in Quebec City. The ...
We just returned from a cruise on the Caribbean Princes.
We departed Quebec City and ended in NY.
Overall, the cruise was very disappointing.
Pre-covid we had traveled on two cruises with Princes.
These were much better and based on these experiences we booked the cruise in late Sept. of this year.
The difference is noticeable.
The cruise lines took on huge new debt during the ...
Never having cruised previously with Princess, we booked this cruise for the itinerary and sailing date.
Embarkation in Southampton was hassle free, even for 3500 passengers, and first impressions of the ship were positive, as we experienced a well presented and polished interior.
The 6 day crossing to Boston was rough with bad weather and a huge swell for most of the time. It was here that ...
Embarkation: arrived at the port at 11:45. Baggage handlers were ready at the curb. We were in the green lane and proceeded quickly thru security and onto the ship.
The ship was in great condition. We had an unexpected sea day at the start of our journey because tropical storm Ophelia caused us to leave New York Harbor a day late. The ship anchored for our first night near the Verrazano ...
Just got back from a cruise on Sky Princess.
We were told in May we had to pay the balance which we did.
On joining the cruise we found that other people on the same drinks package as us had better benefits even if it was there first time with princess, whilst Princess cruisers with multiple cruises under their belt had less benefits.
To top this at the start of the cruise bars were ...
We loved the crew. Everyone was very helpful and very pleasant. The ship was average but it does need some work. Very limited outlets in the rooms. Our bathroom stunk from floor drains that are never cleaned. These should be cleaned and sanitized regularly. We had to keep the bathroom door closed so we could sleep at night and it wasn’t odor from human waste. The sill on our sliding door to the ...
This was a bucket list cruise to celebrate both turning 70 this year. We have sailed on Sky Princess twice before and booked New England and Canada cruise as we loved everything about the previous cruises and thought it a great fit for our special cruise.
We had no idea that, after packages were booked and paid for, Princess would re-invent what they were actually offering in said packages. We ...
32 day Back to Back Cruise on the Sky Princess from Sept 16th to Oct 17th 2023. We also did this Cruise last year on the Sky Princess and how things have now gone way downhill.
Penny Pinching Princess-
Less Staff/Waiters around means very long wait times to get served both in the bars and dining rooms
High percentage of Waiters are Training and therefore the quality of service is very ...
After my less than stellar first Princess cruise on Island Princess in July, I was a little apprehensive about this one. However, it could not have been any different. Not only was the ship newer and in great condition but the whole experience was better, it was like sailing on different cruise line.
Nothing on Sky Princess was my favourite anything from the cruise lines I’ve sailed but ...
