Sky Princess®

Only Princess Ship I don't like

December

Pros: Staff was friendly and helpful as was the case with all my Princess Cruises

Cons: No Crooners, no Churchills or any Pub, no Wheelhouse, no Library. Shops were ill stocked without much appealing merchandise.

Recommended: No

Take Five Jazz Lounge not a replacement for Crooners, an opinion echoed by many of the passengers. As I observed, it was also not fully attended. It seemed to be more of a "lead-in" to the Casino which was unusually huge. huge. Lots of minor glitches existed, like breakfast trays delivered with wrong items daily. Because of some transatlantic delay, I stood in line an hour and a half to board, even though arriving at 11:10 AM for boarding. My Disembarkation time was an hour before scheduled time, causing confusion with the porter locating my bag. Etc, etc, etc.

Excellent Trip

Enjoyable cruise

December

Pros: Jazz club, food, friendliness of staff and passengers

The crew couldn’t have bern nicer and the embarkation and debarkation were very smooth. Highlight for us was the jazz club for sure. That was terrific. Weather wasn’t great part of the time which impacted the itinerary.

Sky Princess

August

Pros: Sondra, our cabin steward, was top of the line!!!!!!

Cons:

We had a great time. The casino dealers were fun and encouraging.

Missed the mark

January

Pros: Beautiful stateroom, ship, buffet selection was good, production entertainment was wonderful. Alfredo’s pizza restaurant was great, bar service was great too.

Cons: LOUD, LOUD, everything was extremely loud so sound was distorted and it was extremely difficult to have a conversation. Limited selection in dining rooms and MDR service was not great.

Recommended: Yes

So many changes since Covid and while we have to accept it changed the world, there are little things that were missed.

great trip

January

Pros:

Cons: Sometimes the serves was slow for dinner and bar.

Recommended: Yes

Great ship and you see the crew constantly cleaning. Food was good and a good selection. I was on the ship for three weeks and enjoyed it.

Missed amenities

January

Pros: Sky ship was familiar and easy to get around.

Cons: Too loud music!!!

Recommended: Yes

The small changes were very noticeable on this cruise. I missed not having a Library, I missed the chocolates on the pillow at night I was surprised that the blue princess bags were not given out for excursions. Buffet was very good. I found the pastries very uninspiring, although desserts in dining room were good. The medallion app, while a great idea, needs to be made more user friendly with no interruptions of service during the day. Wait staff seemed inexperienced at times, still trying hard. Movies under the stars was not very current except for Top Gun. The biggest problem was the volume of the music in common areas. There were lovely common lounges all around the piazza but impossible to sit with your friends to have a conversation with the music playing in the piazza. Music should be played for the enjoyment of all. Shops on board were OK but should be larger with more general stock, too much makeup and perfume choices. Missed the “costume” jewelry items, Pandora shop a poor replacement.

This is a cruise you must take!

Overall, great ship. Would cruise it again. Love the process to get on and off the ship with the medallion for embarkation and debarkation.

Caribbean cruise

January

Pros: Service in the dining room and in the cabin were excellent. Food was good, esp. in the buffet.

Cons: The ship is not user-friendly. It lacks the ambience of other Princess ships

Recommended: No

We missed the library and the more intimate bars that we had on other Princess ships. Sitting in the Crown Bar is like sitting in a hallway. But the service was always good, and friendly. We were never notified that we had been gifted with a champaign breakfast, and we did not receive our invitation to the Captain's reception. But I do believe we received every notification of a spa event or a jewelry sale. We had a great table in the Espadrille Dining room. The ship loused up our dining reservation so they dedicated a table for our group of seven in the "Any-time" dining room. This worked well for us. Our waiters were outstanding. The medallion worked well after ironing out all the kinks, and we were able to keep track of our group. We didn't use all the bells and whistles. But it is nice to be able to check out the events on your phone and pull up the running bill. We had one day of rough seas, but the ship seemed to handle it well. The entertainment was hit or miss. I didn't like the Rock Opera, but I'm not a rock fan. The other big show was cancelled for some reason. We saw the magician which was fine. Missed the comedian. I don't think I would choose this ship again.
