Sky Princess

We recently tried out Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess, one of their newest Royal Class ships.  On our 7 night Eastern Caribbean sailing we stayed in a mini-suite, which is a balcony stateroom with additional living space and a larger bathroom.  In this video we show you around mini-suite M210 on deck 15, and highlight what we liked, and what we wished was different.  Make sure you stick around to learn what surprised us about the balcony...
 

No matter how many cruises I take, the final day is always a struggle.  On one hand, I want to do it all, filling in all the experiential gaps.  On the other hand, I want to do as little as possible and just absorb every moment in the hope it will slow down time.  On this sailing, I did the latter, but still managed to pack in a few new things.  In this final day’s post, I’ll share a couple things we did, but also, summarize our first Princess Cruises experience. read more

We really enjoy St Maarten for its convenience, cuisine, and beaches, so I decided to work only a half day and enjoy some time in port.  It turns out we were far from the only ship in port though, and I was glad to see this.  After our day in port, we did something wildly uncharacteristic of us. read more

St Thomas is a gorgeous island in the US Virgin Islands, and everyone should get off the ship to enjoy not the famous jewelry stores, but the blue waters, sandy beaches, and spectacular views of the archipelago from atop the forested mountains.  I, personally, stayed on board however.  I did, however, have my favorite meal of the cruise so far. read more
