Embarkation & First Impressions 

My embarkation experience in Hamburg couldn’t have been easier, it was just me getting on that day, so the process was super quick and stress-free. 

As soon as I stepped on board, I was blown away. The ship is absolutely stunning. I loved the modern design and how well the layout flows — it all just makes sense. The Piazza which is the main, or atrium, immediately caught my eye. It’s the heart of the ship and such a beautiful space — elegant, bright, and full of life. 

My Balcony Stateroom 

I stayed in a Balcony Stateroom, and I have to say, it was one of the most comfortable cabins  accommodation I’ve ever experienced. The pillows were the best I’ve ever had (I wish I could’ve taken them home!), and there were loads of space and storage. The layout worked perfectly, making it easy to relax and keep everything organised.  

Entertainment & Activities 

There was plenty to do on board, even on a shorter sailing like mine. I went to two of the main shows, the 80s Show and Opera Rock, and both were absolutely fantastic. The production quality really impressed me. 

My favourite was definitely Opera Rock. It was so unique and different from anything I’ve seen before, a truly amazing production. From the moment it began, the music, costumes, and stage design transported me into a completely different world I also joined in on the silent disco, karaoke, and a quiz night, which were all great fun and created such a lively atmosphere on board.  

Dining & Drinks 

The dining experience on Sky Princess was incredible. There was a great variety of venues, and the food quality was consistently excellent. I loved the range of choices available, and even the buffet offered fantastic options. 

I dined at the Main Dining Room, Sabatini’s, and the buffet. My favourite dish had to be the lamb chops from the Main Dining Room, cooked to perfection! 

If I had to choose a favourite dining experience, it would be Sabatini’s Italian Trattoria. It’s a beautiful venue offering a five-course menu (though I only managed two courses because there was just so much food!). The service and atmosphere made it a memorable meal, and I’d highly recommend it to anyone sailing on Sky Princess. 

Service & the Medallion Experience 

The service throughout my sailing was fantastic. The crew were friendly, professional, and quick to help, even when there was a small issue with my Princess Premier package not activating properly, it was resolved straight away. 

I absolutely loved the MedallionClass experience. It’s such a standout feature that really enhances your time on board. From unlocking your stateroom door automatically to ordering a drink from anywhere on the ship, it makes everything feel effortless. 

One of my favourite parts was being able to add “shipmates” in the app — perfect if you’re travelling with friends or family. You can easily see where everyone is on the ship, which is such a clever touch. 

 

Overall Thoughts 

Overall, my experience on Sky Princess was fantastic. Princess Cruises is one of my favourite cruise lines, and this trip reminded me why. The ship itself is beautiful, with plenty of venues, great entertainment, and an amazing layout. The atrium was the standout for me, it’s truly the hub of the ship and such a wonderful space to spend time in. 

There were lots of families on board too, and it’s clear that Sky Princess caters perfectly for all age groups, from grandparents to young children. 

If someone asked me whether I’d recommend this ship, my answer would be a definite yes. Everything about Sky Princess exceeded my expectations, and I can see exactly why it gets such positive feedback from our customers. 

 

My Top Tip 

If you’re sailing with Princess, make the most of the MedallionClass features. Whether it’s finding your shipmates, ordering a drink from your sun lounger, or just enjoying how smooth everything feels, it truly enhances the experience. It’s one of the best innovations I’ve seen at sea!
