Guest Snaxmuppet Posted April 10 #1 Share Posted April 10 We are on SKY from April 27th bound for Norway. The cruise prior to ours is a private charter with high-profile special guests. Would the fact that there is a private charter immediately prior to our cruise have any bearing at all on our cruise? Should we expect any reduced level of service or anything else for that matter? Common sense suggests not but I thought I'd ask the wealth of experienced cruisers here to get your views. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawkeyetlse Posted April 10 #3 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Sounds like a pretty tame charter (classical music, ballroom dancing, and… an astronaut?): April 15-27, 2024–Where is Sky Princess? I don't think it'll be particularly demanding (physically or morally) on the bar/dining staff, so you shouldn't notice any effects lasting into your sailing. You can ask them about it and maybe there will be some interesting stories about celebrities on board, rich folks being rich, etc. The entertainment may "reset" on your sailing, if the ship takes the opportunity to switch out the guest acts, and if the production cast get to take a 2 week break (from performing, not from practicing/rehearsing/working out).

Rare Cruise Raider Posted April 10 #4 Share Posted April 10 In my experience, there would be no reason you’d notice any difference on your cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 cruises a year Posted April 10 #6 Share Posted April 10 To the credit of the crew, I don't think it would make any difference at all. In my experience, Princess crew treat every passenger, from inside cabin to suite, many days at sea to first time cruiser, like you are their best, most favorite guest. This is how they really feel. They will not be better or worse from the prior cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While similar from a dance perspective, waltze off is often used to mean a quick and easy departure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JordanF Posted April 11 #13 Share Posted April 11 There should be no difference. But, I was on a charter once (Buckeye Cruise for Cancer). We supplied our own entertainment, so I suppose the regulars got a break. The only other big difference was that there were no drink packages--all drinks a la carte (I think the cruise sponsors got a cut?)--so there were pop up bars all over the place. It was super easy to but a drink (too easy? :)). Besides those things, it was pretty much like any cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
