SEA day and formal night.

 

What did we get up to. Well we went to the trivia, which was fun! Got 16/22 which we were actually pleased with. We don’t often do trivia on cruises recently. Pleased we went! Daughter was doing pretty well. We’d have gotten less right without her for sure but she’s only 10!

 

Daughter went to the kids club in the afternoon which she really really enjoys. Skeeball, air hockey, colouring in T Shirts, Mario Kart competitions, and so much more. I’ll post pics below of the kids club itinerary for anyone interested.

 

while daughter was at the club we went to hear a destination talk about Andalsnes & Tronheim. We’ll definitely attend more talks with the gentleman who gave it. His sense of humour was great. Had a lot of us chuckling quite often 🙃 

 

then it was formal night. Not to invite debate here or anything. This was our experience. I was playing special attention to what others were wearing here because I find it interesting to see how cruise lines compare.

 

husband was in a suit & tie, daughter & I in smart dresses.

I saw everything from Tux, suits with & without tie, collared shirts no suit jacket. 
women in smart gowns like you might see at a wedding, in dresses you might see in a party or nightclub, and I saw women in smart blouses & trousers.

 

what I didn’t see at all in the MDR or actually in the piazza even, was shorts, jeans, t-shirts. I did see a few in the buffet for a snack post theatre, but very few.

im not commenting on what people should/ shouldn’t wear. I don’t mind. Be comfortable. 
 

Most cruisers here were Brits. Followed by USA. Almost Everyone was in formal wear, however that looked to them. Black tie, or any tie, or a jacket not required. Shirt &  trousers are just fine. No idea if anyone got turned away from a MDR for their attire. I just didn’t see anyone not in smart casual at least

 

 

Hello-

Glad you are enjoying your cruise on the Sky Princess. Finding your observations very interesting.  I will be sailimg on her in a few months. When you say smart gowns, do you mean long ones? Thinking of taking a couple for formal nights but don't want to look out of place

Good afternoon

Has anyone been in The Catch by Rudi on the Sky Princess? Would like opinions on the food and decor as thinking of booking for our aniversary. Also is there alot of noise form the Piaza?  If so does it help sitting near the windows

Thank you

Panic averted. Its now gone to a green tick

Good morning

I have found some information which says I don't need either of these numbers so how do I get rid of the exclamation mark?

Thank you

Good morning

I have found the information on Gov UK

Thank you

Good morning

I have scanned our passports into the app and they have been accepted but there is an exclamation mark on our names on the page. The only part I have not filled in is traveller no or redress no as I don't know what these are. I am in the UK if that makes any difference. Thank you for any advice

Hi

I decided to go on a trip with https://seasthedayusvi.com/

Thank you for your reply. I have emailed Fury but I haven't received a reply. I have found a semi private trip which I think will be great. 

Good morning

I am arriving in St Thomas early December onboard the Sky Princess at 8.00am (Don't know if this is island or ship time). I have been looking for a  Catamaran Sail & Snorkel tour. The vast majority leave from different spots on the island either 8.00am, 8.30am or 9.00am. I doubt if there is any chance of the first two times but maybe the 9 00am? The only other option is the tours operated by Princess but I would think that these will be overcrowded. 

Thank you for all the replies. 

Good morning

I am sailing on the Sky Princess in a few months. I have never sailed with Princess so I have been watching every possible video on Youtube of the Sky Princess. I would say that all the people taking the videos dine in Cielo MDR. Is there a reason for this?

Thank you

Hi. Thanks for all the replies. I think the attachment proves Thrak right. It also says on the Princess website that cruises sailing before 19th February 2023 it is $12. Sorry it is upside down it was saved the correct way up

Good morning

On the app on my mobile phone it states drinks up to $12. On the website it says Plus Beverage Package - 50 which I think is $15 per drink. Which one is correct?

Thanks

I have the plus package so not to worried about the free wine.

Just present the coupon when you get to the restaurant, or when ordering.

What coupon?

Thank you all for the replies. I will have a good think about it😀

Don't forget your free bottle of wine if you dine in a specialty restaurant the first night:

I didn't know there was a free bottle of wine. Do they automatically give this to you?

Thank you for the reply David63. We are sailing from Port Lauderdale the beginning of December. We normally eat between 7 pm and 8 pm when on a cruise

Good morning

I am sailing on the Sky Princess later this year. I know embarkation day can be very hectic. Probably go to MDR  at lunch time. Just wondering for dinner whether I should go to one of the specialty restaurants or Alfredos. Which would be the best option?

Thank you

Good morning

Does anyone know the taxi fare from Mahogany Bay cruise port to West Bay?

Thank you

Thank you for the info on the MDR's very much appreciated.

Regards

Good morning

I have enjoyed reading your posts and I am looking forward to sailing on the Sky Princess later this year. Did you go in all the MDRs? If so which was your favorite and why?

Thank you

Good afternoon

Have you tried posting this question on the roll call for that date?

Good morning

Thank you for all the replies.  I am booked on the Sky Princess 2nd December for 14 days due to work commitments. I have cruised with Holland America over Christmas and the ship didn't seem crowded although the ship was full. I'll wait and see I'm sure I will have a good time anyway.

Good afternoon

I have recently read that ships between Thanksgiving and Christmas are less crowded in the Caribbean.  Is this generally correct?

Thank you
