How lovely to see this video. I was on the same cruise as you in E520. What an amazing ship it is and how lucky were we with the weather for that time of year. The days in Skjolden and Stavanger in particular were glorious. Thanks for sharing your experience 😊
Thank you for watching, and for the kind comment. Yes we loved the Sky Princess, and the whole cruise. The weather was indeed unexpectedly good, we had a whole case of wet/cold weather gear that we barely used!
I assume this was the 7 night cruise which we have booked for July 2025 . Usually formal nights are on sea days but as the second sea day is the last night before docking back at Southampton did they choose another night for the second formal night?
Ours was actually the 8 night version at the beginning of the season. Our first sea day was formal night 1, and the day we left Norway (day 7) was our second. Can't guarantee yours will work out the same but it would make sense, yes, as no one wants formal night when they've packed. And we hope you enjoy your cruise!
Hope you enjoy/find it useful. Going to post some more vlogs from this trip as well. Also, hope you enjoy the cruise and the ship as much as we did, we had a really awesome time!
Hi there, we left from Southampton. On the 8 night cruise, we had 1 full scenic cruising day, which was when our stop in Haugesund was cancelled due to strong winds. However, we did scenic cruising from each of the port stops in Norway both on sail in (if you were up early enough), and sailaway. Olden, and Skjolden were both several hours of scenic cruising through the Fjords on the way back to the sea. Hope this is some help.
Hi there, there were a few kids, not too many on our sailing, but, we were out of school holidays. I would expect a fair few during half term, although Princess isn't the biggest family line I guess
@richandsuzcruise thank you for replying. I know they are not. It was actually the only cruise to fit in between the dates, and kids are excited so hopefully there will be more
Hi there, I'm not sure which dancing you mean. If the Sailaway party, that's whenever the ship departs, in this case around 5pm. Otherwise, there was late night dance party in the Atrium, and Vista Lounge.
Hi there, sorry we didn't speed test it, we just had the 'Princess Plus' 1 device per person stock WiFi, and it was adequate for browsing, social media etc.
I think it was pretty much a full cruise, a lot of what I filmed was when places were a bit quieter. Certainly on the sea days, space in the Piazza and the inside bars was at a premium! We never had a problem finding somewhere to settle though as theres plenty of venues to choose from

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, we had a great time on this cruise.

wow looks amazing , just to ask what time did you get on the ship thank you
Our boarding time was supposed to be 12, but our transfer turned up early so we got to the terminal about 11.15 am, and were onboard by 11.40.
Did you leave from Rotterdam or Southampton? How many days of scenic cruising have you done? Thank you very much.

This is totally helpful thank you very much and keep up your good and very informative work 😊
Can I ask were you on the drinks package.?
Hi there, yes we had the Princess plus package, which includes drinks up to $15 or so, gratuities etc.
Hiya were there any kids? Going in may half term with two kids and wonder if there would be more kids?

I'm sure there will be some at half term, and we hope you have a wonderful cruise. We loved Sky Princess, we're back on again later this year!
What time roughly the dancing?
Hi there, I'm not sure which dancing you mean. If the Sailaway party, that's whenever the ship departs, in this case around 5pm. Otherwise, there was late night dance party in the Atrium, and Vista Lounge.

Hi there, sorry we didn't speed test it, we just had the 'Princess Plus' 1 device per person stock WiFi, and it was adequate for browsing, social media etc.
