Sky Princess 3/2/24 - 3/9/24 Review

[bunnyhouse]

Was on the Sky Princess last week and it was wonderful.   This was my 14th Princess cruise and there were really no complaints!

 

Embarkation was very quick.  I did notice there was no 'priority' boarding for Platinum, however, we were onboard by around 11am.

 

We had an AFT facing balcony - B737.   Loved the balcony, very spacious, both covered and uncovered sections.   We did notice a bit of 'soot' the 1st day, but nothing big and none really after that.   Was very happy with room, our room steward was great!!!

 

We ate at the regular dining room (Cielo) every night.  There were 6 of us and we reserved same time/same table each night.  I have Celiac, so gluten free and I like to have the same waiters.   Each day someone would bring menu for the next day and I could make my selections.   I also found the chefs very helpful at the horizon court for breakfast and lunch.  

Had lunch one day at Alfredo's and the pizza was pretty good.

 

Casino was a disappointment, very smoky and no 'Let It Ride' tables anymore, so did not spend much time there - but it actually saved me money!  Bingo was fun as always, although sometimes a bit disorganized, took forever to check everyone in.  But we just sat there and had drinks, so didn't mind!

 

We had the Princess Plus package and was very happy with it.   My husband and I tried lots of different drinks and had great service.  We always tip extra, even though we have the package.

Crown Grill Bar was great - we would meet there every night at 6pm before dinner and Jeano the waiter there was fantastic!!!!!

 

I did attend a couple of classes at the gym - Pure Barre and Strech class.  Like them both, the Strech class was actually great and the instructor went out of his way to really show us how to get really good stretches.

 

The shows were mostly good - although a bit disappointed no magician or illusionist.  

 

Disembarkation was so easy.  We did walk-off and was in the Park/Go Bus by 7:07am, in my car on the way home by 7:26am!!

 

Again, all in all, a wonderful week.

If any questions I can answer, just let me know

We are booked in 743, so quite close.

Do you have any pictures of the cabin?
I note you ate in Cielo every night.

Did you pre book?
I am Dairy Intolerant, so I also like to have the same waiters, as they get to know my needs.

We also have the Plus package, which came with our booking.

Sorry, I did not take any pictures of the cabin, but you can go to cruisedeckplans.com and find some I sure.

Yes, we pre-booked the dining every night on the app before.  We actually ate lunch in that dining room 1st day and liked our table, so requested that table.   We went down like at 5pm first night and asked maitr'd (Filipe) and he was very accomodating.

We had wonderful waiters - Irawan (head waiter) and Jorge (junior waiter).  It was nice since they would have my gluten free bread available for me each night!

Enjoy your cruise!
