  1. When we were on the Sky Princess November 25th, 2023 from Port Everglades, our cabin had a kettle. Maybe because the ship had just arrived from a TA, the UK?
  2. We made the mistake of giving our luggage to the regular porters at the Miami port on our first YC cruise on the Meraviglia. The luggage showed up in the late afternoon. Lesson learned. YC is the only was to cruise on MSC.
  3. On our last cruise on the Sky Princess, November 25th, we saw men wearing shorts in the MDR every night. Formal night was no different. Did it ruin our cruise? Nope, we just enjoyed our meal.
  4. We had Prime Rib on the last night on our Sky Princess cruise. It was good, but we should have asked for it medium. Tasted great.
  5. We had a tea/coffee making kettle in our mini-suite on the Sky Princess November 25th. Maybe because the ship had just arrived from overseas? First one I have ever seen in North America. As for the Plus Package, free room service delivery is included. We really enjoyed being able to order a drink with the Medallion app and have it delivered to the cabin at no charge. We always tipped the room service attendant.
  6. I agree, the cruise lines tried years ago and it cost them $$$$$. Most land restaurants don’t allow smoking anymore and they are still in business.
  7. Book on line in the app just like making dining reservations.
  8. We were on the Sky last week. Smoke was awful in the casino all week. I believe cruise lines tried non smoking years ago and saw their casino traffic fall a great deal. $$$$ lost. They just need to do what the airlines did and stop all smoking. Airlines are packed.
  9. I agree. We just like to board late and go to our cabin. The Sanctuary is nice, but we should be able to book beforehand.
  10. We boarded the Sky at 1:30 pm on November 25th. Sanctuary was already booked for the week.
  11. Our cruise last week on the Sky Princess was wonderful. Crown Grill has always been a favorite, but was disappointed on this trip. Filets were over cooked and sides were just ok. Next night was Sabatinis, which my wife does not care for the Italian menu. Well, after the bad experience at the Steakhouse, she had a wonderful 2 inch thick steak cooked perfectly, I had the veal and it was delicious. The Catch just out shined everything. Filets were perfect as was the lobster tail. The steak fries were outstanding! I want to try the seafood tower next time. At $30 per person, I thought it was a bit high. But after seeing the table next to us order it for 6 people and they couldn’t finish the food, it was a good deal. Come hungry.
  12. We just got off the Sky Princess , 7 day cruise, and had no problem sharing a pizza at Alfredo’s. I would have contacted someone in guest services to handle this. 63 day cruise, you should have been treated better.
  13. 9 Princess cruises, we have had an Owners Suite, Full Suite, Club Class/Reserve, Mini Suites and an inside cabin. 3 MSC cruises in the Yacht Club. I would choose the Yacht Club every time. Food is better, service is better, drinks are better. Yacht Club deck area is like the Sanctuary, but with a pool and good food and bar service. We just got off the Sky Princess last Saturday and had a good time. We had a mini suite, E726. We also had the Premier package. One thing I don’t like is the MDR is not open for lunch on port days. Buffet is subpar at best, Slice and hamburgers by the pool are ok, and Alfredo’s is great but after the third day it gets old.
  14. We have sailed on 9 Princess cruises. Full suites, Owners Suites, Reserve suites, mini suites and an inside cabin. If you have sailed with MSC in the Yacht Club, you may be disappointed with Princess. We have sailed 3 times in the YC on MSC, food is better, service is better, and the butler service is awesome.
  15. Most menus on the app on Sky Princess last week were spot on. Only the last night was inaccurate. The MDR had Prime Rib, but the app showed another entre. Prime Rib was really good.
  16. We just got off the Sky Princess yesterday. When we came down to deck 7, Promenade, at the aft stairs, as soon as you made the turn past the starboard doors to the smoking deck, the smell near the Vista lounge was nasty! I hope folks in the cabins above were not affected. If you went to the aft of the ship on deck 17, same, nasty. The casino was also over powered with smoke. One day, the cruise lines will do as the airlines, no smoking. Yep, airlines are full.
  17. Just a side note from our early morning departure on the Sky Princess today at 7:45 am. The smoking area on deck 7, aft, starboard was closed. A lady stopped a security staff member and asked if she could go to another area to smoke. He politely said all smoking areas on the ship were closed until fueling of the ship was finished. She looked devastated.
  18. Sorry, I am looking at the room service menu and all they show is Coke, Diet Coke, Seagram’s Ginger Ale, Gosling’s Ginger Beer, Natural Spring Water, Red Bull, San Pellegrino, Sprite and tonic water. Not sure if the bars carry more choices.
  19. The Catch on Sky Princess.
  20. Currently on the Sky. Last night in the Catch, they offered “frizzled” onions with the steak entre. Basically fried onion straws. We asked for a side order to share with our meal. They were wonderful. Last year on the Enchanted, wife asked for onion rings in Reserve Class and they were able to serve her onion rings, frozen type but good.
  21. We are currently on the Sky Princess. Yesterday in San Juan, we did a Segway tour of Old San Juan. You will see a lot in two hours and it is a lot of fun. You can book directly on the website. Jose is the owner and guide. We learned a great deal about the history of San Juan. The office is a 10 minute walk from Pier 4.
  22. Well, I don’t think it was excessive as it was shipped from the West Coast by truck.
  23. We are 9 days away from our cruise on the Sky Princess. Wife and I are Elite. We have not been able to book Specialty dinning reservations on the app. I have an iPad. Any help would be appreciated.
