Here's What Princess Cruises' New Ship, Sky Princess, is Going to Look Like

[Cruiser Bruiser]

Love all the changes. Much improved over previous Royal-class ships.

[KCsealegs]

Looks incredible - I love the updated and modern style!

[riclop]

Already booked.

[WAMarathoner]

I call a phony. There are open chairs by the pool without someone's towel or sandals on it!

[Iamcruzin]

Great new modern look and so glad they made better use of the space by the pools by removing those stupid dancing fountains.

Already booked.

 

Same here, on the Nov. 3/19-Rome to Rome-7 day sailing.

I would book that kind of Med. Cruise in a heartbeat!!! But are looking into the HAL new-build, for the itinerary.

Unfortunately, it looks like HAL is missing the boat on this chance to update... and seem to be building a carbon copy of their prior ship.

 

I am loving what I am seeing!!!!

Wondeiring about the Sanctuary, though.

Don't know if they aren't losing something in comfort and ambiance if they go that far contemporary-minimalistic on that one????

 

I wasn't that excited about the Sky, but I am loving the updated look.

Maybe more 'Celebrity' ship?

no Crooners? Don't think I"ll be cruising on this ship.

I hope they consider the design of the Sanctuary. It does not look comfortable or relaxing to me in the rendering of the area.

Where are those comfortable loungers ?

I do not think I would appreciate paying a fee to share those sofa-like benches with other passengers.

Where is the shade?

Will the Sanctuary be located near the adult only spa pool as on the Grand class ships, or will it be in the bow where the Sanctuary is located on the Regal Princess?

Also, the Sky Suites have huge balconies. Okay,but what about the balcony sizes for the balcony,deluxe balcony and mini suites?

Will they be the small size as on the Regal where in a mini suite my DH could not sit facing the water, he had to sit sideways to accommodate his long legs (6feet tall)?.

May not be too keen to book a cruise on this ship. Depends on the itinerary and the price.

We are excited to be booked for early 2020! The new Sky looks beautiful. Sailed the Royal several times and really loved it. I remember before and slightly after the Royal first sailed, many people said they would NEVER sail on that class of ship, etc. Now, many people really love the Royal class.

 

It is fun for us to have a new ship to look forward to. We just feel blessed to be able to sail.

Yea, that was a total waste of space & money.

Good riddance.

Another place they deserves to be gone.

Looks good. Excited to be sailing her in '20.

[JimmyVWine]

I guess in the future...

• the ship will sail at 20% capacity;
  
• all guests will be white;
  
• all guests will be thin; and
  
• all guests will be young.

Saw this and amps up the excitement for our Nov 2019 transatlantic on the Sky! With 7 days in a row at sea we will surely get to fully explore all she has to offer!

Very intriguing/promising. Looks like they put a full sized pool in the stern! Excited to try her out. Heading to Princess.com to scout out a cruise!

[pris993]

Don’t get up you hopes. The aft pools on the Royal and Regal are little more than wading pools.

I was looking thru ships tours, and just happened to click on the video for the debut of the Royal, I think.

I noticed right away that there were differences between those initial designs and artists renderings and the final design/product!!!

 

I am hoping that this is the case with that artist rendering of the Sanctuary.

This venue needs to continue to be inviting and relaxing, not 'hip'.

 

Unlike another cruise line that I know of, planning a new-build... It seems that Princess is actually listening to some of their customer feedback. As others have mentioned here. And, I hope this will be the case when they start getting these comments about the Sanctuary.

 

They opened up the mid-ship stairway on the other ships.

They added the Terrace Pool back with the Regal... (even if it is kinda lame)

They appear to be correcting that lame AFT terrace pool. Yes, the artist rendering are def. of an actual pool.. not a plunge pool the size of a hot-tub.

They appear to be correcting the usage of space problem with the fountains in the main pool area.

And, they could be hoping to address the complaints about the loss of the Crooners venue.

Hopefully, the tease about the new themed bar, to be announced, will be their efforts to respond to that.

 

I just wish there were a teeny tiny minuscule chance that they would rethink those extra cabins that have just obliterated the Retreat Pool area. But, I don't that's gonna happen!!!! Pack'em in... the tighter the better....

Really.....I do not think I have ever read a post on CC where Princess passengers have been clamoring for a "wave pool!":)

[Lucky TGO]

Are there any pictures of the adult swimming pool?

Princess seems to be avoiding pictures of the Retreat Pool with all the added cabins on both the port and aft sides of the pool. Wonder why?

What ever they did to the Retreat pool, I surely hope they included a more shallow end to it so people could at least stand up in the water.
