himan Posted May 4, 2023 #29 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Enjoy your cruise Eglesbrech and it will be interesting to hear how you get on. We are on Sky end of July same stateroom as last year and are really looking forward to it and like you we are travelling from Scotland (well a good 70+ miles further north than the top of Scotland actually. If by chance you are in the watch shop onboard could you perhaps see if they have Tissot T Touch watches for sale ( they tend to be on rubber straps and have conventional hands on a dark watch face with digital display at the bottom). I only ask as I am wanting to purchase one of these and if none on the ship will buy in Southampton before sailing. Please do not go out of your way as you may never enter the watch shops while cruising. I myself frequent them quite a bit as I like to buy a watch while onboard. Thanks in advance for your thoughts on the refit and any other observations you make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pink-belle Posted May 5, 2023 #30 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I see Sky has left dry deck, as planned, and is on her way to Southampton. Edited May 5, 2023 by Pink-belle 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is definitely the case on Enchanted where there are already other Italian venues - Bellinis and Gigi’s. However I do not believe this is the case on Sky at least this is not what we were told last month. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron the Rev Posted May 5, 2023 #34 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Just checked out the Princess web site floor plan but their IT haven't changed anything yet. We are a bit concerned that if Sabatini's is now where the Bistro was. There was a terible noise problem when we dined there coming from the Piazza area, so in future we will only eat suite breakfast there. Shame as Sabatini's is our favorite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillieJeanKaraokeKing Posted May 5, 2023 #35 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) We're on this one tomorrow too, first time on Princess - looking forward to seeing what's on offer.

Thanks and Bon Voyage! There have been about 15 threads here on this very question, and every one of them has confirmed that Vines is still there in its spot on the Sky. If someone reports that it's gone, I will be mightily surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SDAnschultz Posted May 5, 2023 #42 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It would be nice to be able to hear if "The Catch" restaurant is available as well. Mixed messages from the press release, and the ability to book a SD meal there on the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame as Sabatini's is our favorite I would think suite breakfast in that area would be a big mistake being so open. It could lead to non suite passengers just wandering in. If they move Sabatini’s to that location they might well choose a different location for breakfast. On a few ships I have seen suite breakfast served in the Crown Grill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really appreciate it but if you forget or don't have time don't worry about it. It's Saturday lunchtime now and as I type this post I'm just a tad jealous of you as we have 84 days to go till we board. Enjoy your cruise and I'm looking forward to reading any posts you put up.
