Colo Cruiser Posted November 10, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hey everybody! After spending a few days in Rome I am unpacked and nestled in my cabin on the incredible and most beautiful Sky Princess! What a treat! I am awe struck. The changes are really refreshing.I am not going to go crazy with this Live and hoping some of the other numerous CCer’s that are currently onboard will chime in with their thoughts/photos. Had my embarkation day Salmon in the Estrella DR. I ate dinner in La Mer tonight and got a photo OP with now retired Alfredo Marzi who is on this sailing. For dinner, The La Mer featured offering to begin, Goat Cheese that looks like Olives with Fried Polenta Appetizer Fried Escargot. (to die for) chopped up escargot with a garlic butter inside. When you bite them the flavor is awesome. Lobster Bisque with puff pastry. Main course, Scallops. Dessert, Pineapple pieces with A very light cake and Chantilly Cream. and of course a Cappuccino!! It has been raining on and off since noon. Pretty heavy rain from 5pm through sailing at 6:20. It is 9:20pm and the rain has stopped. Nice touch in the cabin bathroom with pump hand soap and pump hand lotion on the sink. Photos of the aft outside area of the WFM. The aft wall of the WFM is now all glass and they have a really cool sitting area with red cushioned chairs and couches on both sides of the buffet just outside those windows. This is a kick back cruise to Florida. Nothing planned as I have done this rodeo many times. Internet and photo posting seems flawless and fast at the moment. Also free automatic coffee and hot chocolate machine in the outside aft WFM area. Well I will say goodnight and let’s get this party started!! 12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted November 10, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 10, 2019 What?! They finally have pump soap?! This means I won't have to bring my own every time! Whoohoo! Does it actually feel like soap that makes a lather or is it more of a very liquidy hand sanitizer thing? Great pics and info! Thanks and bon voyage! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks and bon voyage! It’s soap for sure. I had brought 2 Dial antibacterial pump bottles. I was pleasantly surprised. The balcony railings are now aluminum instead of wood. (Same shape/size as the old wood, rounded. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antsp Posted November 10, 2019 #4 Share Posted November 10, 2019 On the Sky next April, the more I read and see of her the more excited I am. Wasn’t the biggest fan of Royal class ships partly due to Princess Live, the improvements look great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrivesLikeMario Posted November 10, 2019 #5 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Thanks! That is so good to know about the soap! Interesting about the balcony railings! Makes sense though - that'll mean a lot less varnishing! Great info, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donyb Posted November 10, 2019 #6 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Look forward to reading your live reports. Happy about the hand soap situation. I'll be taking my Dial out of our suitcase tomorrow. Question: I pretty much stick with wine as my libation of choice. Can you give us an idea of what wine runs by the glass in lounges and bars? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tere247 Posted November 10, 2019 #7 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Great way to start a review. You have me hooked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windango Posted November 10, 2019 #8 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Is the pump soap available in every stateroom? I too always bring my own pump soap and would love to leave that behind when we cruise on the Sky next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest arowe6 Posted November 10, 2019 #9 Share Posted November 10, 2019 All I wanted was an extremely high key “live from” thread from you, Keith. Why did you let me down? Have fun my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltd Posted November 10, 2019 #10 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Following along. I do have to ask is this your first Royal Class? I ask because you said the changes are refreshing. Changes from the Grand Class or Royal Class. Would also like your opinion on the sound In the Piazza during entertainment. We went on our first Royal class cruise a few weeks ago and loved it but the sound was loud. Thanks and enjoy the cruise. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdsqrl Posted November 10, 2019 #16 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Wow, I wonder how early you have to get up to score one of those 3 aft-facing loungers in the pool area! You might have to sleep out there . . . Bon voyage, Colo! Looking forward, in a low-key kinda way, to more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first thought when I saw the photo of those loungers was “wow there will be a fight between chair hogs for those.” 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
