The main dining room is elegantly decorated. Wait staff are very efficient. Unfortunately the food while good is the worst part of the experience.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
While the layout of all the Royal class ships is very similar the changes to the Sky Princess are a definite plus

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had an extended balcony and it was very nice but seemed small. The shower is larger that on the other royal class ships

Ship tip

Go to theatre at least 45 minutes early
