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 ...
Embarkation was ok after that it all went downhill. Firstly the mini suite is just that minute. It boasts a walk in wardrobe which is just a rail of clothes which are on show for all to see. The balcony is so tiny you can barely fit two people on. The ship does not have enough seating for passengers on a sea day of which there were many on this cruise. We booked 18 months ago in all good faith but ...
I would not recommend Sky Princess its too big 3500 passengers you have to queue for everything nowhere to sit inside on sea days in poor weather. Small theatre and uncomfortable. Cabins OK but bathrooms small and poorly designed small shower with a curtain so floor is always wet. Menus poorly designed limited choice. Staff are as usual excellent and tye only good thin on the ship. I will never ...
Cruise selected as destinations allowed us to meet up with friends and family.
We are long term Cunard cruisers , having also travelled with several other lines including a previous Princess which was good.
Boarding a nightmare at SOU, “stateroom” good ( mini suite with bath).
Public room seating is for approx. 1500 passengers ,not 3500.
Theatre seats 900 therefore two shows only ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 have always enjoyed Princess and had wanted to see Canada. As usual all staff were wonderful, sunset balcony cabin was excellent. The tours were good value for money and the guides really knew their subjects. Some tours however could have used a bit more time at venues and seemed rushed. Our main complaint is that there is nowhere on the ship to get away from loud music entertainment in the ...
Chose this cruise as never been to Canada and liked the itinerary. So disappointed,this was such a boring ship,never before have I spent so much time in the cabin,luckily they do have a great selection of films to watch. The daytime entertainment was sadly lacking and no ambience onboard. Evening time if you wanted to watch a show you had to arrive at least 30mins early to try and get a seat which ...
