Sky Princess

7 Night Eastern Caribbean (Ft. Lauderdale Roundtrip)

Sail date: January 08, 2022

Ship: Sky Princess

Cabin type: Balcony

Cabin number: A304

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 2 years ago

Review summary

The ship was 40% full so there was no waiting or lines at elevators, at the buffet, or anywhere else. Captain was very personable and was skilled enough to get us into one port that another ship had to skip due to tricky weather and logistics.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Other than waiting for COVID tests, the experience was good. Expedited Platinum and Special Assistance check-in helped.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Excellent service in all bars. We tried the Sushi and French specialty restaurants with wonderful experiences. Food in the dining room, though not exceptional, was very good.

Onboard Activities

Trivia, game shows, cooking demo, flair bartenders were lots of fun.

Excellent, friendly service

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Cleanliness was great in all areas of the ship. Layout was similar to other Princess ships. We missed having a bar/observation lounge on deck 17/18.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Since this was an accessible cabin, it was very roomy at each side of the bed as well as between the bed and the desk/TV area. The roll in shower was WONDERFUL!

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida Did not visit port

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

4 out of 5
We went on the glass bottom boat excursion and enjoyed it.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We hired a taxi driver for an hour tour and enjoyed that.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
We went on the Food, Drink, and Dance excursion which included a lunch at a lovely hilltop restaurant with beautiful views.

Grand Turk Island

5 out of 5
The prettiest beaches of any of the ports we visited. Very nice dock area with a large Margaritaville.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy!

Dengage. They were in a handicap accessible cabin. A roll in shower is for someone perhaps in a wheelchair,so no steps,etc.

Marybeth I believe they mean if you are platinum or elite you have a priority lane which expedites your boarding
