Taking sea travel to new heights
Sky Princess® elevates the distinctive, contemporary design and luxurious attractions of our renowned Royal-class ships to even loftier heights. You can look forward to our most exciting entertainment venues yet, our newest dining choices and award-winning chef partnerships, as well as more staterooms than ever to relax in. And that’s just the start.
We are one week into our 3-week Transatlantic crossing and have been so impressed that I decided that I should share some of our experiences. First, the ship is in absolute pristine condition. She shines and sparkles from stem to stern. All of the public areas are spotless and look almost new. I can speak only of our cabin - it is impeccable. Second, the food is simply fantastic. Sky has the best buffet (Lido) we have experienced (and we have been on over 40 different ships on almost every cruise line). The variety is mind-blowing. Every item we have tried (over 50 so far) has been spot on. Options have included every imaginable cuisine. The other morning at breakfast I mentioned to one of the chefs that I wish they had 'black pudding' one board. He asked me if I would like some. I said yes. He asked where are you sitting. I pointed out my table. By the time I had finished filling my plate and sat down he showed up with a plate of piping hot English Blood Sausages. I really like the dining room options on board. One is devoted to 'dine your on way' reservations. Another is first come, first serve any time dining; and the third operates as a traditional cruise ship fixed time, assigned table dining venue. PIZZA - I absolutely love good pizza - and to me New York style is not only the best, it is the only pizza worth eating. I have never had a real good pizza on any cruise ship - until now. The pizza on the Sky is as close to New York style as you will get outside the city itself. The crust is thin but sturdy - slightly crispy but foldable. The toppings are generous, but don't over power that great crust. If you are ever on the Sky Princess, do your self a favor and indulge in a great pizza experience. Another thing I noticed is how happy the crew appears to be. You can kind of tell when cruise ships staff are going through the motions - you know -that forced 'I'm supposed to smile' look. The crew on the Sky may be totally fooling me, but they look like they actually are glad they are here, and - more importantly - glad that I am here. VIBES - This one is hard to describe. The ambiance, the general impression or feeling, the vibes of the ship are truly festive. From the formal entertainment - which has been outstanding - to the various artist performing in all the public areas, the 'feel' is upbeat, lively, happy, uplifting. It make me feel good - and at 87, believe me, that's a great feeling. You hear good music and laughter everywhere you go. As I am writing this, I am sitting on Deck 4 in the Atrium and enjoying the music of a 'John Denver-like' singer doing justice to many of the old favorites. I know this probably sounds exaggerated or overdone. But, believe me, I am one of the most cynical and critical old fogies around. This is a completely accurate account of my experience so far on this wonderful cruise. Hats off the the crew of the Sky Princess for a 'job well done'.
The cabins are very nice and the service is excellent. You can find quite areas on the decks during at sea days and especially on excursion days. We were never able to secure reservations at the specialty restaurants because our travel agent missed those opportunities to reserve. If you are told that you can always try and reserve on board, you're being brushed off, it doesn't happen. Especially our cruise which was sold out. With a full ship, we didn't find it chaotic, actually smooth from embarkation to debarkation. 99% of the staff are happy to assist regardless the question and they are unworn from travelers, quite amazing how fresh they appear even though they are back to back with cruisers, but they make you feel like special guest at every contact. As for the main dining, our group felt the food was always beautifully presented but the taste was okay, a 5-7 out of 10 at best. The market place buffet is more of an average of 7-8 out out of 10 for breakfast and 6-7 for lunch or dinner. Our group was scheduled for main dining time of 7:30pm, which was nice having the whole day free to enjoy the outdoors and shower prior to dinner. However, the main dining is a long process. It's an investment of time. We typically finished our meal around 9:30pm which is too long in our opinion. The pizza by the slice located on 16, pool side is great! Highly recommend. The princess app while on board is super efficient for ordering most places on the ship where your order is delivered directly to wherever you are situated. It's pretty fast and highly convenient. However, the app in general is not an easy navigate. It could be more user friendly but by day 4, it makes more sense. But still it's navigating around the app to find what information you need and it is short of muscle memory. If you are looking for quiter space on the outdoor decks but you want panoramic views, good breezes and sun opportunities, deck 18 at the back of the ship is a good sport. Even on this sold out ship, we always were able to get several lounge chairs together. Just note that the deliver to your location doesnt work on deck 18. Still, it's not a big deal, you are 1 minute from the bar on 16 and food. FYI< if you encounter a blunder on the staff's service, they are quick to rectify and express sincere diligence in getting it right.
First time cruise on Princess (have sailed Carnival, Disney and RCL). Very impressed with the ship and experience! Check in was very easy and we were on the ship within a few minutes of being dropped off by the Avis rental car shuttle (about 10:30 am). The ship is very clean and we loved the decor. We did purchase the premier package which we thought was well worth it. We did Alfredos pizza for lunch the first day which was quite good. Of the 8 nights, we had booked the specialty dining 6 of those nights. Our fav was probably Sabatinos - best Alfredo I have ever had but we also enjoyed the Crown Grill and Rudi's. The 2nd time we dined at each we ended up splitting/sharing entrees to avoid wasting food. We only did the MDR one night and were pretty disappointed in that experience. The service was not great and the food was not the best either. The buffet was always good food but can get crowded at times. The Int'l cafe was a good place to grab a snack or coffee. Our fav bar was Vines - good drinks and we enjoyed the charcuterie a couple of times. Entertainment was ok (nothing compares to Disney) but was super crowded. We were going to one of the main shows and came almost 30 minutes early but could not get a seat. We did enjoy several events in the Princess Lounge (loved the 80's night!) and the comedian in the Vista Lounge (again pretty crowded). Port stops were great. Favorite was Grand Turk - go to Jack's Shack and avoid the crowds! We did not enjoy Amber Cove but that was due what we chose to do. Next time would do a beach/resort pass for the day. We did a private tour in San Juan and that was fun. St. Thomas we took a taxi to Sapphire Beach and enjoyed a beach day there. We stayed in a mini suite on Deck 15. Our room steward was amazing and the room itself was perfect. Very clean and lots of storage space. Balcony was small but worked for the 2 of us. Beds were super comfortable. But, the noise in our cabin was awful! We did ask at guest services but they could not really do much. We were under the buffet but I don't think they were moving chairs at 3 AM. It sounded like wind maybe or carts moving? Not really sure but it really did affect our sleep several nights. It was very convenient to get to the pool deck/buffet but due to the noise would not recommend the room. Main "complaint" was the pool chair issue. We really did not like the fact that every chair next to the pool had towels but no one using them for several hours. There is a sign not to reserve chairs but it would have been nice if that was enforced by staff. We had several sea days so this was really annoying. It was too hot to be up on the higher levels - needed to be in the pool to cool down. Overall, the service on the ship was great. We did not find any staff to be rude, and they were always working with a smile! Our steward was great and overall the wait staff in the specialty dining were very good. We did find that some bars made frozen drinks from scratch and other from a mix so we had our favorites for sure. We also brought insulated cups that were very helpful in keeping drinks cold on the hot pool deck! I did have a massage in the spa which was good. Wish the spa/enclave area had windows to see the ocean. Was pretty dark. Embarkation was easy. One tip is to schedule a ride. We did wait almost an hour for a Lyft back to MCO post cruise. I would totally take another Princess cruise in the future based on this experience if the price and itinerary are right. Thought it was a good value. Very few kids on this trip and the average age was definitely older! Don't choose this cruise if you want an active late night scene! We were there to relax and eat good food and this cruise accomplished this!
As we usually cruise with Princess so we naturally like what they offer. Suite is always nice & spacious with A+ room Stewart ( Romella ). Food is good 4 specialty dining & regular dining. Buffet has so many options , you will not be disappointed. Entertainment for the most part was fantastic. Loved of Comedians & the live musical shows. Minor issues on this trip. We always book & order packages months ahead of time & have never had a problem. This time there was no record of our payment. Keep all receipts or pay twice like we did. Princess Live only has 300 seats for 4000 passengers. So get use to standing. At 70 yrs old that is an issue. Late show is past our bedtime. Don't tip dock workers. / Princess luggage handlers. Your luggage will not arrive early. Overall we had a great sunny experience and loved getting away from the cold weather.
I was on the Sky Princess with 5 of my friends and we had a wonderful time. We all agreed the food and service in the Estrella main dining room was great. We ate there most nights and walked right in without a reservation. Only waited 10 minutes on one night. Breakfast and lunch at the Marketplace buffet were also very good, with a wide variety of food. We especially liked the Pastry shop! I had the Plus package and was very glad I had it. Wifi worked fine. I used the medallion app to order drinks every day and usually had my drink within 5 to 10 minutes. The Reserve pool and deck areas on 16 and 17 were very relaxing and quiet. However, you must be over 18 to be there. The main pools were very active, but I didn't use the lounge chairs there. Embarkation was very quick in the green lane (if you have your medallion) Disembarkation for us was at 9:15 with a very short line. The shows in the theater were great, and we especially enjoyed the Spotlight Bar and Rock Opera shows. I should point out the captain reversed our itinerary due to stormy seas in the area, which we all really appreciated. Great job by him and the crew and it avoided us missing any ports. Service everywhere was top notch. This is a beautiful, clean ship. If you are planning on a cruise on Sky, you will not be disappointed! Enjoy!
