Two years ago booked a cabin beneath the Skywalk and loved watching people walking on it. Some hurried along, others took time to look out to sea. Very few ventured across during the evening for some reason. Too many other activities perhaps. Thanks for the feedback. Have a nice day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicksmom67 Posted July 8, 2019 #177 Share Posted July 8, 2019 I have a question about beverage packages. Do they ever go on sale? With tax, it is $70 per day which seems high compared to other lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the reactions of the guests walking along staring thru the glass at the ocean more than at us. Skywalk seemed to attract the been there, done that , type.

grouchomarx Posted July 9, 2019 #180 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I am booked for the 12/21 Christmas cruise and very excited. I just joined the roll call today. I can't wait till she's all done and we can actually see real pictures. This is very exciting. My last Princess cruise was the Regal, also at Christmas, and it was wonderful. We chose this ship in part because we don't think it'll draw a billion kids like NCL or Royal would. (The Regal Christmas cruise was not over run with kids at all.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flafun888 Posted July 16, 2019 #181 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Might anyone know if there could be any issues with booking a cabin on Dolphin (9th deck?) Just curious, as I notice that similar grade balcony cabins on 11th deck have sold out much faster than on 9 or 10. Are the higher floors generally more popular due to higher and better view and/more convenient to pool/other top floor amenities? Or is there something I'm missing about the Dolphin Deck that may be a negative? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted July 16, 2019 #182 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not certain about the Regal class balconies on Dolphin deck as we have had balcony and mini-suite cabins on Caribe and Baja decks. I do know that on the Grand Class ships, the balconies on Dolphin deck are completely exposed therefore in full sun and full view of those on balconies on higher decks. When cruising on Grand class ships, we always booked Caribe deck cabins as these balconies tended to have more square footage and were partially covered. Perhaps this is so on the SkyPrincess ,causing Dolphin deck cabins to be in less demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_galt Posted July 17, 2019 #183 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Fewer inside rooms on Dolphin. Reduced foot traffic. I'm booked in an aft PH on Dolphin in December. Can't imagine why anyone would prefer the more crowded decks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very quiet and easy to get to everything. No obstructions below as the promenade open deck seating was there and low enough from the skywalk that there was only a slight blue light seen at night. We loved it so much that we've booked both the sky and enchanted in the same location/cabin❣️👍🌴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kywildcatfanone Posted July 17, 2019 #185 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Anyone know what the retreat pool area will look like? That is the area I spend my time on, on Regal/Royal, but this looks wildly different on deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Regal class is different...I did the same thing you did - booked Caribe on the Grand for the partially covered balcony, but I thought I heard that Regal class is different - Caribe is just like any other deck and most of the balconies are smaller on the regal class.

We booked a regular one in aft section. Although weirdly, in the Princess website deck picture, we're in a group of balconies that look bigger in the drawing than the ones right next to it, but the balcony itself isn't categorized as a deluxe or extended balcony - just an ordinary BD.

MJSailors Posted July 17, 2019 #188 Share Posted July 17, 2019 (edited) Yes,Flafun888,Regal Class balconies are smaller. We were disappointed at the area of the balconies on the Regal Princess as we have always enjoyed breakfast on the balcony. For the Sky Princess we have a midship,starboard,angled balcony on Caribe deck. Hoping the extra space with the angled part is a bit more comfortable than what we have experienced. Now, I am thinking that we may be in the view of the people on the skywalk.😳 Oh well !

That's my little peace if heaven. when revisiting the deck plans the pool bathrooms in the bar look the same except now the sanctuary is up one level above but now the retreat pool area is surrounded by cabins which sadly to say I think will do away with our surrounding view of the ocean 😪. that was one of the beauties of the retreat area was to be completely surrounded with ocean views.

It might be like the main pools in that the deck where the pool itself is will have a place for some chairs, but then above the cabins, there might be another sun deck area, but it would still be a bummer to have to go down stairs to take a dip. I don't know, I guess will have to wait and se. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Jeter02 Posted July 17, 2019 #191 Share Posted July 17, 2019 from what I could tell from the virtual video they made on the sky princess a few months ago that indeed it does look like there is a upper deck above the sun where has the lounge chairs with the retreat right below. I won't mind it so much as long as it's shaded because I don't like to be out in the sun too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
