"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
The cruise was great, We were on a 14 day back to back and this was the front leg of the trip. The restaurants were wonderful and he food was great, there was always a great selection to choose from. Each day there were plenty of things to do, the movies under the stars was great, we always enjoy watching movies outside with popcorn and pizza being brought to you as you watch. The ports we went to ...
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 ...
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...... ...
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 ...
We were on the Sky Princess February 15th-22nd (Western Caribbean). DH and I are both in our early 60s and this was our 9th cruise on Princess. We really like the Grand Class ships, but decided to try the Sky and check out the Royal class. Usually our objective for cruising is the itinerary first (preferably Princess) and then the ship. However, this cruise, our main objective was a brief escape ...
Very nice ship, was skeptical based on all negative reviews. The entertainment, production shows were great. Magician, singer, and comedian were all very funny and good. The production shows are the best at sea currently. The entrees in main dinning room, esp fish were overcooked, only big negative. Portions are smaller but with 4 courses very full after each meal. We were on fixed dining at ...
We chose this cruise being a new ship, we had 2 other couples joining us. We are all mid 40’s to early 50’s. We have sailed Princess many times and also sailed a few other lines.
Good
-Buffet was one of the best
-Production shows were fabulous as was all entertainment
-Medallion for accessing room was great and reliable
-the App was great for locating our friends on the ship (but ...
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 ...
