Love it. We're doing exactly the same hotel and same cruise, in three weeks time. It's been almost 5 long months since our last Princess trip, so the withdrawal symptoms are pretty rough right now. Looking forward to our first martini and Alfredo's pizza on the 4th of April.  Keep up the posts, we're particularly interested in Take 5 and the Sanctuary, so keep those photos coming.  ENJOY!

Will do!

Just curiouse of they will take temperatures of all incoming passengers. When k was on 3 weeks ago, they did not. They only did the typical health questionnaire. I will be rejoining the sky again in 2 weeks.

They did take everyone’s temperature as we got on board.

Just got on board.  Embarkation was a little disorganised. They are now taking everyone’s temperature as you board the ship.  Does not seem overly crowded.  Not sure how many people cancelled.

Getting ready to get on the Princess Sky for a week‘a cruise to the Eastern Caribbean.  Here is the view from our room at the Renaissance Hotel.  Let me know if there is anything specific you would like to see.

Nope. Was close to the front of line for getting on ship and were pretty fast getting down to Headliners. Only had two left when we got there. Needed 6. Everyone must be present (which we knew). I believe pajazz28 got them. He was just ahead of us in line.

We also got group 1 waiting in terminal C. Do I need to run once the doors open??? Wish they would let people pre buy passes.

We have been on three NCL cruises where our kids did not have soda packages (they don't typically drink soda). On several nights at dinner I told them if they wanted a soda just to order it and I would just pay for it. I was never ever charged for a soda even after I told the wait staff I did not have a soda package for the kids. Must be some sort of unwritten rule (or they wanted a bigger tip).

Following. Also on May 27th cruise. What time do you plan on arriving to try and get Vibe Passes? Hoping to get them for next week.

Can someone please tell me where to purchase them? I have seen conflicting post. Some post said they sell them at Headliners others said at Guest Services.

They are posted on the iConcierge app. Can even look ahead to see what is on the menu each night.

I will be on the same cruise. This is the second time on the Escape. Great ship

1). That is what I have been told as well. I would recommend making reservations for dinner and the shows as soon as you get on board. They have touch screen displays throughout the ship if you don't want to wait in line at the dinner reservation desk.

2). Cagney, LaBistro, and Teppankaki are our favorites

3). We did not care for After Midnight. Have not seen For the Record but heard it is good. It was not offered when we went last year in April. We also really enjoyed Howl at the Moon and the comedy shows.

4). Adult area is fine except it gets really crowded on sea days.

How far in advance of the cruise did you receive a message.? We sail in less than 30 days and I do not see anything on my account page.

Sailing this summer and we have the deluxe drink package. It said it includes bottled still and sparkling water. Where can you get bottled water? Does it come with the cap? Can I take full bottles back to my cabin? Is it a particular brand?

Appreciate any feedback

Thanks for the information. Just wondering were most of the travelers on the ship from the US or Europe?

Anyone going on the 12 night Mediterranean cruise this summer? Anyone sailed previously on this itinerary? What was your favorite port or excursion?

I have friends traveling with us for our cruise on the escape next month and they just did their online checkin and the earliest they could book for checkin was 1-1:30. The rest of our group has 11-11:30. If they show up early will they make them wait until 1:00?

Is it bring your own or do they also sell them in the cigar bar?

Thanks for the info!

We received the same emails for our April trip. When I check my travel summary they are still listed as booked. Assumed they would have been deleted since they cancelled all if the shows.

Hi, we are on the Escape in a couple of months in a Family Balcony (9260) category B2 and I wanted to confirm that it has a Pullman bed for one of my two kids. I cannot find anything online on how to tell how the room is configured. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

If it is a smooth band they will let you wear it. If anything sticks out (like a big diamond) they will not let you wear it on the slide. They would not let my wife on with her rings.

We always rent a car from Avis at FLL and then just drop it off at the Avis Cruise Port location the morning of the cruise. They will shuttle you right to the boat. Cost around $50 including tax and fees.
