Loved Sky Princess. Enjoyed everything and had a great time with our group of friends. All of the people we sailed with are people we met on previous Princess cruises.
Embarkation
5 out of 5
I believe this was one of the fasted embarkation experiences we have ever had. It was very easy and friendly! We were in a suite and also Platinum.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The food was mostly excellent. Had a few small misses but that is just due to personal tastes. The buffet was impressive. Always had great choices and lots of variety. Loved the French place so much! Go to Alfredo's on embarkation day. It's less crowded and you can sit and relax while eating yummy, fresh pizza. Ate at the steakhouse one night. The service was good and the food was great!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
Karaoke was fun, played a few games. They are kind of disorganized but still fun. Played the Queen's Poker card game for free in the casino. That was hilarious. Didn't spend a lot of time in the casino as it is fairly small for the size of the ship. It got kind of crowded. Won almost $300 using my free play. That was neat!! Cashed out after that. :)
Entertainment

Went to the jazz club one night. Sailed with some friends who love jazz. It is not our thing but it was low-key and not terrible. It has a nice atmosphere and really good drinks!

Service and Staff
4 out of 5
Most of the time, we had excellent service. We met a lot of friendly crew. The only teensy complaint we had is that we felt kind of snubbed in the suite lounge. We were pretty much ignored by the crew there. It was really odd. We are very friendly and treat everyone with respect. I am not sure if it's because we are "young" in our 40's? It just always felt like they fawned all over all the other passengers and we barely got a hello. They weren't rude. They just didn't acknowledge us most of the time. We were never asked if we needed anything. The bar servers there were so sweet and nice. We did, however, meet lots of wonderful fellow passengers there.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship is beautiful. Loved the décor. It is so classic and just feels like home. There are many areas to just sit and relax. It never felt very crowded. Each space seemed to be carefully thought out. Everything sparkled clean!
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Totally awesome space! Loved it! Please note, there is no balcony. It is all windows. Didn't bother us at all. The adult pool was a 1-minute walk down the hall. It is all the way forward so you will be walking. Tons of storage. Comfy bed. Great sized bath and separate water closet. Loved the "living room" area and the little bar. Would most definitely get this cabin again.
Ship tip
Try the gelato! It's yummy! Just be prepared to stand in line.
We were told to go to the suite lounge at 7am sharp. We went up there and waited. For no reason. The concierge pretty much ignored us the whole time and then left us hanging while he escorted passengers that got there after us off the ship. We asked him and he said "Oh you two can just go on your own." I have no idea why we wasted our time with that. Ft. Lauderdale is 4+ hour drive for us so we wanted to get on the road. We wasted about 40 minutes just waiting. That is on us though.
We have just returned on the 3rd of June and we return on the 17th for 21days I think that says it all we love the Sky Princess.
Things go wrong in the real life of things but they are good at putting it right.
Top marks for the Captain Marco Fortezze and Enrique Santos, many thanks.
They even arranged lovely weather for us.
My wife Won the Snowball Bingo Jackpot of $1735 that’s going to go towards our spending money this year as the dollar goes up and down.
Looking forward to becoming an Elite member in the future.
Please see for yourself and don’t believe some of the things like I went out of the restaurant hungry!!
Another one was we couldn’t find a seat it a big ship and if you look around you will find a seat, but if you want a area get there earlier please, it’s better than turning up after the show has started like some people do.
Sky Princess doesn’t employ mind reading waiters so if you eat more than me just ask and you will receive, but they won’t pile up your plate to waste food or as my late wife did over face her and it would put her off.
Everyone is different.
Just enjoy yourself.
If you are lucky enough to have Mil Oliver and Brian you won’t get bored and the service was good the nights we was with them.
Please be nice to the staff and just ask if you are hungry for more, it’s no trouble to them.
Thank you very much to Andre for his attention to detail in the Estella restaurant and for showing his customers that nothing is impossible it just needs to be arranged.
Also a big thank you to Andre for helping us get the best time slot.
See you soon.
Royston and Gillian.
