Firstly, this ship is too big with far too many people onboard and not enough staff. Unfortunately this cruise was during half term so the pools were taken over by children who even had their own blow-up toys in the water. Not enough seating in the public areas. Sunbeds on the decks are almost touching each other. Poor service in the dining room. Wine is served to you already in a glass and not by ...
In summary, a fantastic cruise.
Recently, we've sailed with so-called budget lines (MSC\Costa) with an NCL cruise dotted in. Sometimes it's worth paying that bit extra and Princess certainly felt like that.
The quality of the food was 1st class (Bit disappointed with Crown Grill to be honest - scallops overcooked but Sabitinis was absolutely fantastic). Buffet selection was superb. ...
Avoid E504 like the plague. The noise in this cabin was like a trapped poltergeist trying to escape from inside of the cabin walls. The banging noise was frightening. This only happened at sea. It took loads of complaints and after 8 days we moved to a quiet cabin. This problem affected quite a number of passengers in the lower/middle ship area. Disembarkation was terrible, its was running over ...
Overall I was very disappointed with my experience on the Sky Princess. In comparison to my past experiences on Princess, it was very lacking. Firstly, I found the entertainment to be mediorce. For a transatlantic cruise, there were not many activities to engage in, especially at night. Also, the front desk staff lacked conflict resolution and customer service skills. The sprinkler system in my ...
If you want to want to wait an hour for a drink, two hours for dinner.. extras added to your bill you didnt have and have to keep asking for it to be removed and disinterested staff… this is the cruise for you.
The ship is nothing special and the lack of forward bar leads to packed atrium bars.
No prom deck means the jogging track is packed with slow walkers.. the gym was good with good ...
We sailed on Sky Princess for a Transatlantic crossing, our third time on princess but we have taken many cruises with different lines and destinations. Dimond Plus on RC, We love cruising. We traveled with my sister and brother in law and were very excited to take this trip together.. Our cabin ( mini suite) was nice but the bathroom had lots of hair around the bath and floor and my husband made ...
My husband and I chose this cruise as the price was good and included an upgrade to a mini suite balcony. We prefer holidaying at off peak times to avoid extreme heat! We previously sailed on the Sky in April 2022, just as the world was returning to normal after covid, and had a very nice time visiting the Fjords. It is still a beautiful ship and it was great to be back on board. Last cruise we ...

In case you are new to Princess and have been influenced by the channel 5 series where smiling guest services staff personally escort passengers to cabins that are packed with more free canapés and complimentary champagne than you can shake a stick at.... well you'll be disappointed. Its a little different in practice. In reality there are no ' frills" and zero added value. We quickly dubbed ...
We have 17 overall cruises, this was our 11th with princess. after the last on on the ruby, i was so let down i swore never again but!!
