Sky Princess, 1 - 8 July, thoughts, opinions.

GOOD THINGS

The ship was gorgeous, sparkly, spotless, brilliant bed, lots of seating areas, even in the buffet!

Embarkation and disembarkation - fast and smooth.

Staff - I had forgotten how nice most of them are on Princess.

Entertainment - in tears of laughter at Ed Byrne and tears of delight at The Trawlermen.

WiFi worked OK most of the time as did the app.

Ocean Terrace, Alfredos, Salty Dog, International Cafe, Gelato shop, room service.

Excursions (Copenhagen, Skagen and walking tour of Oslo), expensive but excellent value on this occasion.

Good Spirits, loved Elliot's cocktail shows.

You can WALK on the jogging track without it being frowned upon.

The Retreat Pool, adult only and no pop music.

General, happy atmosphere.

 

LESS GOOD THINGS

The food in the dining room and the buffet was nowhere near previous Princess standards.

Ditto, the entertainment in the Atrium - the singer, Christian, had a lovely voice but tiny repertoire, the classical duo were ok but only ok and the house band could clearly play but I was never convinced the female singer knew what she was singing about.

Beer supply very patchy, never really knew what was available in which bar and it always seemed a problem for the staff to find out or supply anything other than lager. Bellini's had a lovely IPA but also a slow, constant queue.

Lack of decent music for sailaways, especially from Oslo, just background pop when it called for something more rousing.

Entertainment outwith the theatre seemed based mainly on game shows.

My pedicurist sold me expensive foot cream by slipping into my bag of shoes and not letting on!

 

Overall, brilliant week!
