Sky Princess Extremely Low Key Live.

[Colo Cruiser]

FYI.....the Sky internet today has been pretty bad. Dropping connection many times today. 
Internet manager said he thought they fixed the issue last night but apparently not. I must have had it lose connection at least 25 plus times today.

Thanks for doing this live report.  We sail on the Sly in January and appreciate all of the info before the cruise.  Hope the weather improves, I did see some sun in one of your posts, for the rest of your cruise.

Hi Joe...for us the sideways interior cabin is much better than the standard configuration.

 

The desk is at least twice the width & there are plenty of shelves & drawers.  Between the bed & the nightstands is 10” for more space.

 

Just don’t get a quad cabin which as you can see from this photo of a quad on turnaround day it’s not desirable for someone of average height so nothing you'd want to have without wearing a helmet. ☺️

 

Thank you!! We were able to switch to a sideways quad today for our upcoming cruise. (There are 3 of us.)

Interesting that they are putting those cards in the slots now.  We usually fold over one of the cardboard ads that we receive and stick it in there.  Obviously the card is a much better solution, especially since you can't fit a Medallion in that slot!

I find it strange that a Medallion built ship had these slots installed.  

Was the right hand not talking to the left?

Well, the Port Everglades website currently shows both the Sky and the Regal at Terminal 2 on the Dec 1.  Obviously, they cannot both be at T2. Hopefully, Sky will get priority because she's the new ship. 

 

There is no chance in the universe that the Regal will have priority over the Sky for Pier 2 this cruise season...Pier 2 is Princess' premier terminal, fully equipped with Medallion technology.  Their newest ship will ALWAYS have priority.

Are there self-laundry facilities on the ship?

Yes, look at the Sky deck plan. They are on most decks.

😳😳. Gibraltar port lecture in Princess Live this morning. 😳😳

Wind gusts still strong to 25 knots. We are still rocking pretty good.

Thank you so much for the photos. The ship looks amazing!

If anyone has a photo of a balcony cabin, could you post it?

Keith, thanks for the great report.  You pics help us visualize the venues.  Have a great rest of your trip

It looks like the site lines may be much better in the Vista lounge.  I'll be really happy if that's the case!

About Bingo. I see you can play Bingo using the Oceanmedallion and your iPhone. Do they still play regular Bingo live?

If yes. How mush is it and is it on paper or the electronic pad?

Normally you were to use you ship room key card. So when you leave you would take it with you and the lights would shut off. Now no more. The problem previously. If you walked out and forgot to take you room key. You locked yourself out. I would think the door locks once you enter your room. maybe you need to walk a bit into the room before it will lock. What about late sleepers. Does that info now show on the screen outside of the room?

Yes in Princess Live and the Vista Lounge.

Hi Keith,

If memory serves me right, on the Royal the Retreat Pool had steps that went directly into the water. From your photos, it looks like the only way in is by using the ladder or lowering yourself in off the side. Or am I just not seeing a good angle?

 

You sure have had some really crazy weather for this cruise. I hope it improves for you soon.

 

Talk later.

Yeah Joe I am only seeing the ladder.

I think there was some discussion on this on the Dides live from the Sky in late October.

But as Princess keeps repeating - Sky is the first ship built for Medallion from the beginning.  So why would they install card slots at all given the ship was designed and built to NOT use cards ??!!   That is what I'm wondering about.

I agree. Makes no sense to me either. The Medallion should turn the lights on and off when entering and leaving.
