"We are mid-cruise on this near brand-new ship. I hope someone from Princess is reading this.
This is the Sky Princess' second sailing, I believe. In many ways it is brilliant, and, in others, it is hugely..."Read More
We choose this cruise for the itinerary, we had done the first week several times but except for Cayman Islands we were looking forward to all the other ports and had several excursions booked with Princess.
We arrived from Europe Madrid Spain in Miami on March 5th at 21.30 we took the shuttle from the hotel and that’s was the first disappointing thing in reception people that should still be ...
a group we've sailed with before were going on this ship because it was a new ship and we were asked if we'd like to go also. I liked to décor and colors in the cabins were not just bland beige, liked the grey accents. The bathroom was small and the balcony was small-ish but had two chairs and a small table that was fine for us. The food was pretty good, lots of offering in the buffet. The pool ...
I have sailed princess twice before, did not have a good experience on ruby princess I must add, but this cruise was amazing. The cleanliness, staff, and food was awesome. We travelled to the western Caribbean and Mexico this trip, and have never been catered to in such a amazing way. I can’t say enough about the crew. They were always ready when needed. This was our first medallion cruise. At ...
For 24 years we have celebrated our Anniversary on a Princess ship. We were on some of them 2,3 times. Sky was different and much better in many respects. It was light and airy feeling and not overdone. The ship's decor was more modern-looking. The employees were the happiest we have ever encountered. They smiled, knew our name and tried to please at every venue.
Our cabin was a balcony deluxe. ...
We had been on the 28 day Maiden TA and felt there were many problems that needed to be ironed out. Food was merely adequate, dining room service was poor, a ship and crew that was not yet ready.
On this cruise it was entirely different. Food was varied and hot in the buffet. Service in the buffet and dining rooms was excellent.
Crown Grill met and exceeded its standards. Pizza in Alfredos ...
We were looking forward to sailing on the new sky princess.
We arrived a day ahead and stayed at the La Quinta in Hollywood. It was very convenient and close enough to shopping that we could walk.
Our cabin was fabulous! We enjoyed the entertainment - the production shows as well as comedians, magicians, and singers! The volume on the production shows was a little loud but other than that ...
Doing a back to back, very reasonable pricing on a very new ship. The Inside cabin was small but adequate. Lots of closet space. Plenty of draws. USB ports in the night stand lights helpful. The A/C was cold, shower hot. And the bed comfy. Lots of food venues. Soft serve ice cream thru gourmet speciality restaurants. The crew seems genuinely happy to be doing their jobs. Entertainment, well...... ...
Sky Princess is not up to par with her sisters Royal and Regal. Mediocre food selections, cold food in buffet similar to school cafeteria. Main dining room so so. Room service food was also cold when delivered. Main theatre if you aren’t seated one hour prior good luck! I didn’t pay thousands of dollars to sit in a theatre waiting for a show to start. Theatre is too small. Chair hogs!!!! ...
We had a great time last year on the Caribbean Princess, but not this time on Sky Princess. The embark/disembarkation was easy, the Medallion worked fine to get in and out of the room and buy drinks (all we used it for). Very nice basic balcony room, clean, nice and brightly lit bathroom. Polite staff.
BUT, the crowds of people made a big difference this time. We knew we had to get to the ...
Pros:
Clean ship
The Buffet area well staffed and friendly.
Jorge at the “Seaview Bar” on pool deck. Only friendly bartender we had.
Overall crew was friendly. Angel at Guest Services was the best!
Nice lounge areas (but read the cons about this).
Best cruise ship bed ever.
Large closet
Salty Dog on pool deck was the best food all week. Hot and freshly cooked as ...
