Thanks for the updates!

Thanks for the replies and information 🙂

Is 1 dining room open for lunch on boarding the Sky Princess? TIA

Fly the day before. It’s the least stressful way to begin a vacation. 

Thanks for the replies. Somehow I missed the recent thread on this. 

Asking those who have sailed on the Sky Caribbean sailings if there have been Winemakers Dinners. I’d be grateful for information.

Very nice review and photos. Thank you!

This is a wonderful LIVE report. Much appreciation to you for taking the time to share the Sky and your experience.

Currently 400 plus Bears on this cruise. Not possible to find usable seating/space at the aft pool/area during the day.

We have sailed several times when this group has been onboard. Once being on the Emerald with 800 plus.

I’m not familiar with Bears...who are they?

Does the Sky have USB inputs in the cabins for charging phones and tablets?

Scroll back on the posts to see a photo of bedside lamps with USB.

Give Princess a few days to transfer the booking, then call the TA to let them know so they can link to the booking. 

Thats exactly what I did once it was on my cruise personalizer. It took 2 days.

Thanks, Buckeye! I was constantly checking my email. After reading your reply, I checked my cruise personalizer and the agency was on my booking. 

I appreciate the help.

Yes, I’m within 60 days.

Not sure. Our TA doesn't make us fill out the form. There must be a way around it.

Did your TA request the form?

IIRC when this mess started, our TA had us fill out the form and email it to her. She hasn't asked since.

This is a short, inexpensive cruise. A big box agency will give us extra obc which is the reason for the transfer. For other bookings I have worked with an individual TA who takes care of the transfer.

i waited too long to do this and now am under a time crunch to get it done before final payment. I’ve learned my lesson.

I received the transfer form via email from Princess and sent it back via email per instructions. This is the first time I’ve done this and don’t know what happens next. Will I receive a confirmation email from Princess?

Thank you for a well balanced review.

We are still trying to decide whether to go with Dubrovnik to Dubrovnik or Dubrovnik to Split. All the cruises we are deciding between are for eight days on a small 40 passenger ship. We are going through a small Australian company called Sun Island Tours. 

 

These are two of the itineraries we are choosing between. 

 

 

 

Thank you for replying. Years ago we drove around Croatia. Both itineraries look good and I honestly don’t know which itinerary I’d choose. If you end in Split, there’s a charming town, Trogir, that’s not far. 

Whichever you choose, you will have a wonderful trip. Croatia is beautiful!

PS  Would you mind sharing info about the small boat sailing the coast of Croatia? 

It’s been a pleasure to travel along with you. You’re a true traveler and excellent writer.

Old.

Thanks, Coral 🙂

Does the Sapphire have the “old” Sabatinis or the “new” Sabatinis Trattoria?

Thanks for this incredible travelogue! You are a terrific storyteller and observer. Continue  enjoying your adventure.

3for3 does not show up when I’m on Princess website!?

We were on the Golden after the drydock in April. NO ON DEMAND TV.

We had 6 consecutive sea days and we missed being able to pick up a movie where we left off.

Thank you for the replies.
