Review summary

This was a lovely break in mid January. Beautiful weather and scenery. I hated to see it end!

Smooth and efficient

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
For the most part the MDR menus were good and service was friendly and efficient. The buffet was extensive, with various themes through the week. Alfredo's offered excellent pizza!

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Plenty to do on board, though we tend to enjoy sitting on the balcony reading!

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Production shows were excellent -- particularly enjoyed Rock Opera (saw this for the second time) and the Kings of Soul and Swing.

Children's Programs

No kids!

Service and Staff

We have always found Princess staff to be friendly and service-oriented, and the Sky was no exception. Great staff!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We love the mini suites on Princess. Comfortable beds, a nice sofa to enjoy. Balconies tend to be small, but still room to sit and enjoy the ocean breezes,

Ports of call

Ft. Lauderdale (Port Everglades), Florida

Princess Cays (Cruise Line Private Island)

3 out of 5
We aren't beach people so that didn't mean much to us. We did the Coastal Cruise excursion and it was disappointing - just not much to it.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

4 out of 5
Enjoyed getting around the city. Our Princess excursion was cancelled because of a local festival, but we enjoyed joining a local tour that was far less expensive and saw some different sites.

Grand Turk Island

3 out of 5
Just not much to see, and port-side shopping is pretty much the same as other ports.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
Really enjoyed seeing the area. The Princess excursion Mountain Views and City Sites was very enjoyable.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and easy.
