Review summary

Really enjoyed our first Princess cruise. Sky Princess was lovely

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Really smooth. From parking to being on the ship was no more than 30 minutes. Very impressed

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
MDR food and service were excellent. We asked for the same table at the same time each night. Breakfast in MDR was also good. We arrived at 8am every morning and we’re able to get the same table. Waiters were fabulous. Buffet was ok, but very crowded when we used it at lunchtimes.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
Most day time activity seemed to be fairly limited

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Evening entertainment in the theatre was excellent. Production shows were great. Comedian was amazing, as was the Adele tribute act. There was one headliner who sadly left a nasty taste as he swore twice in the 1st 20 mins (including when he had a child on stage)

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was friendly, smiling and keen to help. Did feel as if some of the bar staff were short-handed but they never let it show in their interactions with guests. Smiles were constant. MDR staff were amazing.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
It took a while to get used to the layout, but the decor was beautiful and generally the ship was well maintained and clean.

Ports of call

Kristiansand, Norway

4 out of 5
Did our own walking tour of the town, using the map provided at the terminal. The Old Town was really lovely. Lots of lovely places to stop and eat.

Copenhagen, Denmark

5 out of 5
Lovely city. We did the hop-on, hop-off bus tour. Bus was right outside the ship. Over a hour for 30 euros per person. Pre-recorded narration was really interesting.

Oslo, Norway

5 out of 5
Love this city. It was our second visit. It’s so easy to navigate around. We just did our own walking tour. Loved it

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Very quick. Was off the ship by 7.50am and driving out of the port by 8am. Baggage claim was very easy
