Live from the Sky Princess Med Inaugural

[worldtraveller]

Thanks to people showing photos of the shampoo and conditioner; one question checked off!  But I have one other question, what dining room is used for Club Class Anytime dining?

 

Enjoy your cruise!

[Jeter02]

I'm ready to follow you along your cruise. I have several sailings on her starting in December. I can't wait 🙂

[dides]

Well we made it onboard! Check-in was a bit disorganised but there were lots of staff new to the whole Medallion concept. We were Ocean Ready without Medallions and were directed to 2 different waiting areas until we were ushered up to scan our passes and collect our Medallions. We were onboard by 11am and in our stateroom by 11:30 (after heading straight to the Sanctuary to book our loungers later in the week) Prices are consistent with the other ships. All the cabanas that were next to the Retreat Pool before are up on deck 18 now.

 

 

 

Our Premium Suite is lovely! And the Medallion door unlocking worked immediately 

Here are some pictures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So far we have toured the spa, kids club and eaten at Alfredos. More pics and info to come...

I'm lovingng the new cabin decor..

Love that you are sharing your experience with us, Sandra and Chris and that you are willing to answer questions.  I have a crazy request: One of my photos was chosen  for the public areas and cabins of the Sky.  The photo is of King Penguins in the Falkland Islands.  If you see it anywhere, would you let me know, or better yet, snap a photo?  We plan to cruise on the Sky in the next year of so, but would love to see my penguins having a  good time without me.  Enjoy your cruise and your scavenger hunt!

From a few bloggers who have posted on the ship the past few days, I've seen your photo in the cabins. I heard that each deck displays a different photo in all the cabins.  One my vloggers I follow had your photo in their Marina deck cabin. It's a beautiful photo by the way.

Thank you for this thread! This is my first time back on Princess since Club Class Dining became a thing. I'd love to know where the entrance is located on the Sky. 

 

Hi  you can get to the Club Class dining room via the Estrella dining room entrance on deck 6 mid ship

And does Alfredos have the expanded menu in the evenings?

 

Hi, Alfredos has the standard Royal class menu all day. Here are pics:

I hope you enjoy your trip!  I am VERY anxious to know how the "new" Princess Live compares to the old Explorer's Lounge.  I'm hoping it is very similar.  Also, an artist's rendering of the wakeview pool makes it look ridiculously shallow.  If you have a chance would you please confirm the depth of the pool.

 

Thank you for your kind offer to provide answers to all of our burning questions.  But despite all the requests, take time to enjoy your trip! 🙂 

 

Hi, the depth of the Wakeview pool varies from a Lowest level of 2ft 7 inches or 0.8m and Highest level is 3ft 6 inches or 1.07m

Hi this Lynda & Marty from London, following your live from.   We are on on the 17th Nov for the T/A. Looking forward to your pics. What is your cabin number?  Looking forward to seeing the new Princess Live. It seems to be much improved. Have a great cruise.

as of right now this is all from Instagram. And unfortunately I can't send you a link. However they do make video blogs on YouTube and I know they'll probably be posting it within a week. Once I get it I will definitely email it to you.

Only a few - we had to avoid the ones playing there already so couldn't go outside 

However, one father told us it's the best he has seen on a Princess ship (including Regal)🙂

Pictures of the main dining room midship and the one aft. curious to know if they've updated the look at all from the Royal or Regal. Especially the Lumineer table. Thanks.

[slapsyru]

Thanks for putting those up!  Brilliant.

Have a wonderful adventure, dides. Thank you so much for your offer of answering our burning questions. 
 

I’m wondering about the cost of the on-board couples’ Enclave booking for one week as well as for two weeks. I’ve seen the online price and am wondering if there would be a better rate if waiting to book on board directly at the spa.

 

Also, if you happen to be near the Internet cafe on deck 5 on embarkation day..what is the embarkation day price for a one week booking of unlimited internet (one device only)? Often there is an on-board discount for Platinums/Elites. Is the Sky offering this? 
 

Thank you so much! 

 

Hi, no different prices on board for Enclave. MedallionNet is available at 9.99 a day on embarkation day only which they say is a 50% saving.  Our plat/elite  offer was 52.99 for 7 days.

Thank you so much! Cannot believe how much information and pictures you have already dispensed with your very short time on board. Happy to hear about the platinum pricing for Internet. Looks like the same discount that we received on the regal last year. Have an absolutely wonderful adventure and know that all of us are just as excited for you being on board this Sky Med cruise as we would be if it was us.

That is what I was afraid of. Online in the personalizer is is 5:00pm and 7:15. 7:15 is OK but 7:45 is much too late. Waiting to see if anything happens between now and mid Nov when she heads to Florida.

If you have the chance, could you please ask CD Alex if he will still be onboard for the 3/7 and 3/14 Caribbean sailings?  Thanks.

 

Hi, spoke to Alex during muster and he said he had a break from start of Feb to the end of March so unfortunately you will just miss him.

Dides,  you must have pretty good wifi;  you are posting everything quickly.  thanks for doing all this.  We here on cruise critic appreciate the hard work.

[voljeep]

anything you can post about the Princess theatre would be appreciated ...

 

new shows ? - Rock Opera? - Muppets ? another one about some 'gamer' level thing ?

 

how many per night and approx. time you need to get there ?

 

I'm guessing about an hour before the first performance and be at the door when the first ends to get into the 2nd
