Sky Princess Photo

[USCcruisecrazy]

Saw this picture of the Sky Princess on another site.  They just completed some test runs and everything has checked out well.  One thing you can see in the picture, though, is the Seawalk.  I'm glad to see they included it in the plans!

The seawalk has definitely been a fan favorite on the royal class ships. I can't see them ever doing away with it. Plus I believe princess was the first ones to have seawalk like that.

If the Sky’s deck plans are accurate the Skywalk will be like the previous area by the Seaview Bar with only some windows looking below.  The Seaview Bar has moved to midship between the bumped out areas with some glass windows to look downward.

Is that definitely the Sky, as the sea walk is meant to be slightly different on this ship. Just a note would this ship be flying a Princess flag yet.

Not sure that's the Sky. Latest photo I've seen was taken on July 18 (see link below). Notice the lifeboats are in place. There's been no movement from the dock since they turned on the transponder. I've been checking the position several times a day.

I didn't take the picture, but it was posted on a Sky Princess Facebook page by a gentleman that has been following the progress of the build.  I see no reason he would post a different ship and call it the Sky. 

 

That being said, it's why I posted this, because I too thought it was going to be a different look.

Thanks for posting this.  It seems the other photo could be mistaken.  The gentlemen said the ship has made 4 test runs and should start official sea trials in 3 weeks.  I guess we will know if the site you posted shows her sitting alongside the dock.  Very strange!

If that is the Sky, the skywalk doesn't match up with the deck plans.

Hence, the reason for this conversation.  I'm trying to confirm the validity of the photo.

[atchisog]

based on looking at the previously posted photos

this is not the sky. The paint detail does not match, I think it is the Regal. Also no "hole in sky walk" on sky

[john_galt]

Paint scheme looks like the Regal. Doesn't match the Sky or Majestic. 

 

[USCcruisecrazy]

So much for that, I guess.  Strange someone would post a picture on a Sky Princess page of another ship.  I see no reason they would want to deceive the readers.  Apologies to everyone for a false alarm!!

Thanks for trying!  I am also eagerly awaiting some new views of her - not long before the inaugural cruise so hoping for photos soon..

[LoriPhil]

I AM eager to see the sea walk - when I first saw deck plans I interpreted it as a bump-out for extra deck space with built in seating at the rail.  The solid deck + floor viewing ports makes lots more sense.  😃

Along these same lines, does anyone have a site to go to or pics of the current status of the building of the Enchanted Princess?

So, take this for what you feel it's worth...I received a message from the guy that posted the above photo...he confirmed with his contact working there in Italy...that is indeed the Sky Princess.  The reason the Seawalk doesn't look correct is because they had problems with the panels when they took it on a test run and had to pull them off.  There will be panels covering the openings as opposed to the Royal or Regal.

 

Like I said before, no reason to believe the guy is intentionally misleading anyone...but I will consider his confirmation to be legit.  Either way, 130 days from now I'll be on her and sailing the Caribbean!!!  Yippee!!!

Thanks, USCcruisecrazy!

I'll be on the Sky's Inaugural Getaway in December.
