Not a cruise veteran but been on 8 across different lines .Our favourite ship was apex and we're apprehensive after reading 1 or 2 not great reviews for sky .Well happy to be surprised it was fantastic .For us the food was better far far more choice as well and there were big cutbacks in apex buffet last time we went on and the beef was like shoe leather .Beef was on every day and was fantastic also had roast lamb and chops which wasn't on once on apex last time .The beef wellington was the best I have had and they are not tight with the portions .Buffet was so good we didn't do mdr just crown grill twice where I had the best ribeye I have ever had .Used room service a few times and it was fantastic longest we waited was 10 mins .Loved the medallion although never needed to order anything around the ship as the service was so good everywhere .People on board were great no snobs or idiots at all just a nice crowd .Didn't do pool area as it wasn't warm so can't comment on service there .Used bar mostly in vines and crown grill lounge service was rapid and staff were fantastic happy chatty always smiling but they were throughout the ship .Wish I remembered his name but the black chap carving the meat in the buffet was unbelievably nice and friendly .Ship didn't seem overly busy like we were fearing despite the cold weather and was like a library compared to Iona or arvia .Yes occasionally at certain times some things were busy but you can't expect anything else .I found the buffet less busy than celebrity apex where at times couldn't get a seat .Was in room and never heard a pin drop all week it was so quiet and the lift being at the aft rarely had anyone in it .Quickly learned to avoid mid ship lifts .I would stay in that cabin again especially for the price I paid .Room steward Ian was superb as well .I will be booking this ship again once we have saved up .Only things we didn't like that much were shows but that's a personal taste thing we never like them much we cruise to chill out only went to a couple for something to do although some of the singing was ok .
Overview - We had a fantastic cruise on the Sky Princess on a 14 day Baltic itinerary. The weather was fantasic for the time of the year with mostly calm seas, sunny (but cool) days and the odd warm day as a bonus. The mix of port and sea days was nice with only 2 hours of time change on the way out and the way back. The ship was in great shape and the service experience was top notch. I have no issues with recommending the Sky Princess to anyone and will be happy to cruise with Princess again Itinerary - all the ports were great. Our favorties being Skagen and Tallinn Embarkation - easy with no issue. 15 mins from drop off to onboard the ship. Debarkation / Transfer - Normal process with minimal wait. We used the Princess the bus transfer to Heathrow Terminal 2 which was easy and efficent - 90 mins at $64 USD pp Service - Overal service was fantastic. All staff were friendly and helpful. I found the service in the buffet at all times of the day was excellent. Food/Buffet - There was a wide variety of food in the buffet and I found the quality to be pretty good. The buffet had many themed days Food/MDR - Overal the food in the MDR was very good. There was only 1 (of 14) days where I thought the meal was only so-so. Cabin Steward - our Cabin steward Deepak was excellent. No issues and very responsive to any extra requests. Cabin - We had an inside cabin on Deck 12. No issues and it was very quiet. Activities/Entertainment - The music onboard was great. I hope Princess continues with offering live music. There was a violin duo, jazz band, pianist, guitar player, a 4 piece and a 5 piece house band - all excellent. On sea days there was Zumba, Line dancing, Ballroom lessons and a new thing for me - Fun dance, where the cast would teach popular dance sequences like the hand-jive from Grease. This was very fun. Entertainment - The Princess cast was excellent. Notable were the 2 female lead singers who were top notch. Spotlight bar, 4 Skies and Rock Opera where presented with Rock Opera (with the guest tenor) being the best of of the 3. There seemed to be lots happening in the the Princess Live and Vista lounges - a good variety to appeal to everyone. Cruise director - Matt was excellent. He was funny, engaging and entertaining. Fitness - The fitness room on the Sky was fantastic. There was good number and variety of machines and weights. The stretch room off of the main classroom area was a bonus. You could always find anything you needed. The outdoor court on 18 was great for pickleball. The paddles and nets available were great. Other comments/criticisms 1) At times there seemed to be a noticable smoke smell in the Plaza/Atrium - I believe this is from the casino (on 6) - not ideal. This was also an issue on 7 by Princess Live and, of all places, by the fitness room on 17. All of these areas are close to a designated smoking area. 2) At times the main Atrium can be very noisy as many activities occur here. Unfortunately having a nice quiet dinner in this area may not be possible.
You can of course get two very different reviews from people who’d been on the same cruise. Anyway, all I can say is that this was our first Princess cruise and it was excellent. Everything is well organised: embarkation, excursions, disembarkation. Staff are great and the entertainment is really dood. Particular praise for the musicians in the house band who seem to rise to the challenge of several different acts and not a lot of rehearsal brilliantly. Plenty of food choice and good food too. Only downside is that with the amount of passengers it can get a bit hectic at certain times at the buffet. But pick your times and you’ll be fine. There’s a daily TV show and lots of info on what’s happening around the ship. We also really enjoyed the ports of call and the two excursions that we did. All in all a great experience.
