I know exactly what you mean - we’ve been up the towers twice and coming down is quite terrifying - though the views from the top make it absolutely worth it! Looking forward to following your ‘live from’ - our neighbours are on the current cruise (getting off today) and we are doing the transatlantic in September then two weeks in the Caribbean. I particularly like pictures of food!!! Have an awesome cruise 🚢🥂😎

A Breton is a chocolate pastry that Princess used to offer (I don’t like chocolate but my partner does). Yes, the difference between is the coffee to milk ratio - unfortunately on our last cruise they were exactly the same! Sky Princess does seem to have a lack of indoor seating - we’ve sailed on her 4 times so far and have found this every time.

We always loved the IC and often have breakfast there or head straight there after returning to the ship for a snack - it’s one of the many reasons we love Princess Cruises! For years my partner’s go to sandwich has been the Cubana and we usually have one of the lovely salads. For breakfast I love almond croissant and Geoff really likes a Breton - though we haven’t seen those in the last few cruises. We were on the Sky Princess a couple of weeks ago and the seem to have changed the selection available at the IC. There were no Cubanas, only salad available was a green salad (just salad leaves) with a choice of dressings, the whole sandwich selection was different - some ok and some not good. The deserts were disappointing and the almond croissants were left in the oven until they were hard. Flat whites were served in a latte glass and it was impossible to tell the difference between them and a latte - too much milk - I had to be very specific with them how we wanted it made. Just hoping it was a blip and on our next cruise everything will be back to normal - 🤞

It took 3 months for Princess UK to repay our $200 refundable OBC (compensation for rubbish internet); they payed the amount into our bank account using NatWest Payit - I’d never heard of this before. We ended up emailing/messaging a number of times before it got paid - we were told on the ship it would take 5-7 working days! Definitely worth keep pestering until it gets paid.

Something has definitely gone wrong in March 2022 with Princess internet provider. We were on the Sky in November 2019 in the Mediterranean - the ship was full and we had amazing internet and WiFi - we were able to stream 4K video anywhere on the ship. In September 2021 we sailed on a seacation on Sky Princess - the internet and WiFi were as we experienced on the previous cruise, just as described on the Princess advertising. Then we sailed on the Sky in March - the cruise after the transatlantic to the Canaries, Portugal and Spain - the ship was not full and the internet and WiFi were practically none existent! We complained several times and were given different stories, one member of the IT team said it would improve when the ship reached San Francisco (I don’t believe it’s scheduled to go there). The assistant hotel services manager called us and admitted there was a problem with the internet - shoreside were trying to come up with solutions apparently but nothing was working. We were given a refund for the internet. The one thing in all this that makes me sad is all the lies that the staff tell - just admit that there’s a problem you don’t know how to fix it, tell the truth and give accurate and honest information. We are due to sail on the Enchanted in August to France and Spain and Sky Princess for a 25 night voyage to Canada and New England in September - we are watching the situation carefully and hoping Princess get things sorted soon.
