Sky Princess Review

Additional details
We have done many cruises with multiple cruise lines. The new Princess shop inspired us to try Princess again after not cruising with them for over ten years. However this cruise will be our last Princess cruise.
First impression was positive- embarkation was very quick and easy and we immediately got into our cabin with our bags arriving fairly quickly after we arrived.
We toured the ship quickly (you will need a map since the layout of this ship is very confusing). Our first surprise was when we visited the sanctuary to book loungers for this adults only area. We arrived immediately after boarding - not only were they sold out for the entire cruise, but they had a full page waiting list!! By 1:00 pm . This was our first red flag.
Cabin Review
Balcony
I believe this is the smallest bathroom we have ever had while cruising (this was our 14th cruise). Not enough space for one person much less two! Balcony was also very small - two chairs and a small table but you can’t stretch your legs because the balcony is so narrow. We were across from the Harmony of the Seas in port and their balconies appeared to be much larger. Storage was decent in cabin however very little storage in bathroom.
Extremely comfortable bed though! Cabins were also fairly quiet - didn’t often hear noise from adjoining cabins.
Port Reviews
St. Thomas
We decided to try a different beach on this trip so we went to Coki Beach instead of Magen’s Bay. Very different experience- it was a super fun and active beach. Great for snorkelers since there were plenty of fish around. Bit was very easy to get food and drink, and there were change rooms and toilets. The water was beautiful. However the beach was extremely crowded , so I think next time we would opt for a quieter, more secluded beach.
St. Maarten
Beautiful island.
Fort Lauderdale (Port Everglades)
Smooth embarkation
