The cruise was fine but the ship is far to big for us. To crowded and very busy in the evenings as could not get into the shows much of the time. Smoking is allowed in the casino yuk! We have cancelled our next cruise with Princess and booked ourselves on a smaller more upmarket cruise line. Think carefully about what you are looking for before booking on one of these huge ships.
Embarkation
1 out of 5
A complete and utter shambles. Sat in the car for nearly 90 minutes waiting to get out due to total lack of organisation by Princess.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
4 out of 5
On the whole excellent but avoid Alfredo’s due to staff and management issues such as no customer service.
Asked for the restaurant manager, who was clearly invisible.
Onboard Activities

What you’d expect on such a huge ship but nothing outstanding.
Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Generally excellent but some areas were very poor. Staff in Club Dining were fantastic.

Could not fault the suite nor the staff who looked after us, excellent.
Ship tip
If you like holidaying on. Very large ship with many amenities then this is for you.
Loved the old town. We made the mistake of going on the Il de Rea trip, felt there was not enough there to warrant a whole afternoon in the place. Many people loved it though.
We've sailed on Sky Princess and have to admit it can be very difficult to find a seat during the evening, having said that we're back on her in nine days.
If you don't like big ships don't go on them lol.
We had a wonderful time on Sky and Enchanted Princess always found somewhere to chill,the only time the decks got a bit busy was on sea days.
My wife & I were on Sky Princess around Britain last year, but because it was
only about 50% capacity it was OK, but we both agreed as beautiful as she is & a great cruise, we won't be going on it again as I agree just to big.
Thanks for your review. I will bo on Sky doing this itinerary April 2023. Although a beautiful ship, I agree Sky is too big! We were just on her to Iceland and Norway in June/July but felt there were not enough places to sit and relax except our balcony!
