Sky Princess Extremely Low Key Live.

[relaxatsea]

Thanks so much for your live review and pictures!  I have been waiting for somebody to do this, and we will be joining you a week from today in Barcelona.

Following along!  Thank you for taking the time to post...even a low key live is fun to read.  The food pics from La Mer looks great.  I’ll have to try it when we’re on the Sky in April.  Looking forward to the Sky more and more as I read more reports.

 

have a great cruise!

Following.   How long are you guys staying onboard Keith? 

We're doing the Dec 1 Inagural.

Dec 1

[Colo Cruiser]

Currently arriving in Livorno.

It is pouring and really windy.  😳

Take 5 lounge........
Versus Club 6 on Royal/Regal it is configured a little differently. 
Same long shape but a tad wider and more of a rectangle shape. Seems to be more open with a little less of compartmentalized. (Is that really a word?)
Photos are a little dark.

Random  shots.

Port and Starboard carpets are only slightly off color. They don’t appear to be similar to the older ships with the specific color for each side.

No plans for me to go off today. The wind is howling big time!! Thrusters have been going for quite sometime keeping us pushed against the dock while they secure the ship. I was going to go to Florence just to walk around but based on the weather.......ah na.  🙁

Nice touch in the cabin bathroom with pump hand soap and pump hand lotion on the sink.

 

 

 

 

 

Are soap bars still available from your cabin steward on request?

 

Thanks

They do look different, at least in the photos. One side has gold strips on the sides of the patterns and the other looks to have black strips.

 

Also, the colored strips are only on one side of the patterns. As they are only on one side, is this a subtle way of indicating which direction is forward and which is to aft?

No idea I haven’t asked.

I bring my own.

Boy I hope not. Most never noticed the red/green on other ships let alone these slight differences.

Why not? Seems a useful feature for those who figure it out.

IMO ........Because 99.9% will never see it. Only the micro managers will.  🙄

Is the hot chocolate in the WFM available all day or just in the morning for breakfast?  Enjoy your cruise; we are on her in April.

Seeing the pictures of the ic is making Hungary for their pasteries.  Make sure you have their salads and soup too the shrimp salad is the best.  Also the yogurt parfait for breakfast is good.  Hopefully they will have peanut butter cookies out as well.

The free hot chocolate machines as well as the automated coffee machines (decaf and regular)  are available 24/7.

They are located in the outside aft section of the WFM and inside at the beverage stations.

Thanks for this Colo.  One question; I have read that the smell of cigarette smoke is very evident in Take Five.  Can you comment on that?

You’re welcome

It was not. I have been through Take 5 several times during lots of smoking in the casino next door and it was not an issue in Take 5.

Following along.  I was on Sky’s first cruise Oct 20.  The ship is beautiful.

Curious of your thoughts on the new retreat pool setup, if you use that area on other ships?  That's where we camp, and I'm not sure I'm going to like it as much.

Was that little pool with the 3 chairs the Retreat Pool?  No way!

No it is not. It is the aft pool outside the WFM.
