Hi 

 

1. Yes there are special Club Class entrees - I had one last night ' Beef Medallions with lobster and shrimp.

2. Not seen Curtis Stone specials as yet ' will be posting daily dinner menus so keep checking.

3.. I will ask about Sudoku puzzles

3. Follow up

I asked at the front desk on our way to the tender - the lady searched for sudoku on her system because she knew they used to be able to print them off on other ships but they don't have them on Sky.

Could someone comment on how well the ocean medallion is working?   Has anyone ordered drinks using the app?

 

Also, how is the internet speed?

[worldtraveller]

Forgot to ask, what is the internet café like? I have a laptop but my parents do not so they have to use the internet café.

Thanks

Looks very modern with a good amount of computers and a printer.

We have ordered multiple drinks and a few food items to different locations and all have worked first time for us. No problems with unlocking doors either.  Chris says the that he has found Ocean Compass to be a bit flakey in that it won't auto login. 

 

MedallionNet is usable - can post easily and play online games. Speed not as good as the Caribbean. A speed test while in Kotor is 2Mbps up and down.

Near the end of your cruise, could you let us know if the al fresco dining at La Mer specialty restaurant and Alfredo's is a hit or a bust.  I know a lot of people are not pleased with that use of the promenade deck and the loss of the Crooners bar.

I noticed on the deck plans for the Enchanted and the Discovery ships that Crooners has been restored but on deck 6 so I believe Princess paid attention to all the complaints about having no Crooners on the Sky.  I wonder if the Sky will have Crooners restored in the future.  Thank you for your review of this new ship.

 

Just to say there are a few more bars now like in the Vista Lounge and the Crown Bar is now huge and reconfigured also taking up the space where the library used to be

Sandra and Chris; have you visited the World Market Buffet yet and if you have, what is the comparison to Regal/Royal?  Any photos?

Thanks so much!

Would be interested in photos of the Concierge lounge and if the bathrooms in the suites have individual small bottles of shampoo and conditioner or if they also have the re-fillable containers on the wall.

Sandra and Chris,  would you look in your suite and see if there are usb or outlet plugs on each side of bed; plan on using one for an asthma machine and other for iphone charging.  Thanks

And behind the TV.... sometimes that is a good place for a multi-plug and saves desk space from some of your electronics.

I want to thank Sandra & Chris for all their info ! Please enjoy your cruise 🙂

Well we tried to get some lunch pictures for you but they packed up early. Not a lot of choice for people returning from tours - fajitas, soups, salad, cold cuts, fresh fruit, jerk chicken, roast pork and a mashed potato in one little aisle.

 

We had a look at the MDR menu and was not that taken with the Italian night choices so will return to the buffet tonight

Hope your trip is going smoothly so far. Living vicariously through you bud. 

 

Please, if you may, shoot some photos of the fitness center for me. Just a couple of the weights and the equipment. Nothing major. 

 

And then a few more of the buffet area. 

 

Hope you have a blast. Savor every minute of your seven days.

 

We went into the fitness centre and took pics of all sorts of stuff for you!

Thanks, dides.  Also, thanks for the pictures that you have been posting.  I have really been enjoying them.  
 

Rarely do I take someone up on an offer like yours, because I don’t want to interfere in your Holiday.  But, it seems that you enjoy an initial ‘Scavenger Hunt’ on a new ship!  I just have one question, as you could surmise from my posts and pictures on the Sky Suite.  Is the area shown in red below open solely for the Sky Suite? And, if so, why is there a door both into the ship hallway and another glass one between the two areas of the deck (shown in the green circle on my pic).

 

Don’t take too much of your ship time if it isn’t evident!  Thanks for your offer.

 

We are on her in three times in the next 3 months!  Like you we love to test drive new Princess Ships!

 

Safe Journeys. Paul

 

Hi Paul, as far as we can tell both the red and green areas each form part of the suite balconies with tables and chairs set up there.

 

 

 

Down each side of the elevator bank there is a short corridor with a door that has a deck closed tape for a private area

Hi, yes both our bedside lamps in our suite have USB ports for charging. Very useful

Thanks again for spending the time to answer all of these questions!  We'll plan on bringing our own Sudoku book then unless the Enchanted is different for some reason.  The Club class entree looks good and is one we've never tried before, so looking forward to new entree options.

A follow-up question:  In relation to the bed, where are the outlets located for anyone using a CPAP or the like at night?

 

Thanks again!

Thanks, Dides.  I appreciate the pics of the Sky Suite balcony and the area of the hall that is blocked off.  I guess that they have it like that for when crew needs to access it?  I think on the original design, that extra area was supposed to be public space, but later they added it to the Sky Suite Balconies to make it the ‘largest balcony at sea’ and to advertise the private MUTS viewing area.  It is strange though to still build it with those access points and then rope it off.

 

 Thanks again.  Dinner looked great yesterday.  Regardless of others’ view on it, we love Club Class dining.

 

Safe Journeys, Paul

We will be in Kotor in a couple of weeks.  Our first time.  What did you do?  Ship questions..what time are the shows and is the international cafe still wonderful? Any word about seating in the showroom?  Before I close, thank you so much for sharing.  This is such a wonderful treat and definitely heightening our expectations.   Regards.

Thank you so much Dides for taking your time to answer all our questions. Sailing on the 1/4/20 itin and super excited. Reading all your answers and posts adds to the excitement. 
THANK YOU!!!!
