Rare debsjc Posted August 16, 2021 #1 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Has anyone been on both, and could say which they preferred? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crown Cruiser Posted August 16, 2021 #2 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Been on each more than one time. Hard to have a preference, I love them both. Regal has Crooner's, Sky does not. Sky has the French specialty restaurant, Regal does not. I think you'll have a wonderful time on either ship! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BouncingWheel Posted August 16, 2021 #3 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I believe Sky has no water fountain and show. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seacruise9 Posted August 17, 2021 #6 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Hi, I have cruised aboard both the Regal Princess (in 2014) and Sky Princess (in 2019). They both are excellent ships. If I had to choose between the two, I would probably pick the Sky Princess because it is five years newer. Also, I think the public areas on the Sky Princess are slightly more attractive.

minnesotasisu Posted August 17, 2021 #7 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I have been on both. There are some nice new things on Sky but the two big sky suites take away a lot of deck space for the rest of us peasants so I like the Regal upper decks better. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare debsjc Posted August 17, 2021 Author #8 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Thanks for your help everyone. As people seem to like both we went with the Regal, because the cruise was 1 night longer and includes the port of Liverpool 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antmaril Posted August 17, 2021 #9 Share Posted August 17, 2021 I have been on both - Regal twice, Sky once, with a cruise booked on the Sky in 2023. They are both beautiful ships. Regal has Crooner’s, which I really like, but Sky is newer and the decor is lovely. I would cruise again on either one in a heart beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobbyfarmer2 Posted August 17, 2021 #10 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Been on both. They are both great ships but my slight nod goes to Sky due to the extra pool and more functional Princess Live and Take 5 venue. Regal does have Crooners though which we also quite like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Snaxmuppet Posted August 26, 2021 #11 Share Posted August 26, 2021 What bar on Sky would you say would be a good alternative to Crooner's on Regal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaver John Posted August 26, 2021 #12 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Been on both, Regal, Regal, Regal all the way. The Sky is so loud, the big suites take up a level that folks just look out at you when you are in the pool, really did not like the Sky, too few elevators for the amount of travelers, could not wait to get off. Was on her second cruise, her first TA and it was just not good at all. The Regal is fantastic. Loved everything. Food was great, not crowded, and just perfect. At least this is our findings.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink-belle Posted August 26, 2021 #13 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Bellini’s on Sky is different to Bellini’s on Regal, and more like Crooners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crown Grill Bar, deck 7, will probably also have an entertainer. 4 hours ago, Pink-belle said: Bellini’s on Sky is different to Bellini’s on Regal, and more like Crooners. Bellini's on the Sky is in the location adjacent to the International Cafe on deck 5. There can be entertainers in the Piazza area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure you’re talking about the same Sky Princess ship? Yes I agree re the 2 Sky Suites however she has the exact same number of elevators as Regal in all the same places. I’m not sure what you mean by loud? Sky has a more natural light feel with lighter woods and less gold than Regal. Sky has main bigger pools at the expense of a light show. Having work onboard both ships recently, I prefer Sky but depends on your taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelers36 Posted August 27, 2021 #16 Share Posted August 27, 2021 I always like to check out a new ship, but we decide based on itinerary and dates of travel (seasonality). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
