Well said - any day on a cruise ship is better than a day at work 😍

Seeing the balcony and water-I'm homesick for a cruise. I have sailed on princess once and loved it.

The cabin looks very nice. Can't wait to see the rest of the ship !!

Thanks for sharing this video. That bed in your cabin looks so comfy!!

Your cabin looks great. I just got off the Sapphire Princess, and was plagued with the following problems : 1. The TV was constantly going blank or "blue screen". Sometimes all night. 2. I am convinced that the internet was dial up. Grinding slow, at times. 3. The room A/C was not working properly and at night the room became hot and humid. I am convinced that they turned off the A/C at midnight and back on at 4:00 AM. These problems were reported many times, but never fixed. The staff were wonderful and tried their best to fix things but to no avail. Finally, a generous resolution was reached that made me happy and restored my faith in Princess. I have 77 cruises with Princess, so you know I like them. This ship goes for a badly needed renovation next July. Thankfully.

Wonderful room, it has a comfortable feel. Love the natural light, and the ability to step outside and be a part of the environment. Enjoy.

Great video of your cabin. No plug is a GAME CHANGER for those of us who sleep with CPAP breathing machines. You have to have a U.S. electrical outlet bedside or I won't cruise on your ship!!! It could be a Royal Suite, but no outlets, no way I can stay in a room and stop breathing at night! I'm still waiting for your next cruise on the new Celebrity Edge class of ships!

Always appreciate your tours. Enjoy your cruise, hopefully you have well mannered people in the buffet.😎

Have a fun cruise

Thanks so much for the tour Don. Always appreciated!

Looks wonderful.

Thanks Don. Have fun.

Cabin looks great!

Great review, Don. I like the fact that you spoke about the architectural features and color palette of the room. It does promote relaxation. I walk the decks and stairwells just to enjoy the artwork on the Royal class ships - that is part of the Princess experience for me. TFS, and enjoy your cruise!

I really liked the color palette on the Sky Princess. The muted colors are calming.

Loved the tour, thanks for sharing. Enjoy the rest of your cruise😊

I love the closet space on the Princess ships, I always pack with the hanger on the cloth, so when luggage gets to our room we are unpacked in ten minutes, love Princess!

I’m glad you noticed that there are no outlets by the bed. I usually need to bring an extension cord because of my CPAP. I wish when they redo these ships they put more outlets. Many are now using this equipment, and need to plug it in. I did enjoy the calmness of the cabin. And you’re right it looks homey and comfy. As always, thanks!

Don, my day is van-tastic. Thanks!

Looks lovely Don... enjoy yourself xxx

Great tour!! Thanks for sharing. Hope to see you on the Encore this week!!

Thank you for the tour makes me excited for my cruise in June.

Looks like a very nice room.

Nice cabin, no doubt. Thanks, Don!

I Like the new luxury bed's on Princess now

On her now for our First cruise and loving it! We were busy doing multiple activities but enjoyed it

nice room love the bed

Thanks Don Just booked a UK staycation cruise on the ship. They have upgraded me from an inside to one of these mid deck 11 balcony cabins . Well worth booking my first princess cruise. Looking forward it , and taking videos of the ship.

I love how the balcony door slides. I have only been on Carnival and so far they have been the heavy opening doors.

Cabin looks nice

Looks comfy

We love Princess, we just booked the Sky for 2022, have been on the Caribbean Princess three times!

Will be staying in a mini suite on the Baja deck also for my 2/15 Sky Princess cruise. Looking forward to more of your Sky videos.

Don, your cabin is very nice. I love the color scheme. Enjoy your cruise!😎

Oh man! I wish I were there! Great review Don! Thank you

Allot of folks don't know that there is a line cloths rack for wet cloths on the shower. It spools out of one side and attaches to the other. Great for wet trunks.

I do like that picture in your room.

Looks nice

Thank you for the tour - we are looking forward to our 1st Cruise w/Princess in Sept.We are not new to cruising as we wanted a change this year - looking forward tothe Jazz Lounge. Will follow you again as you cruise on SKY.

Nice cabin, can’t wait until my next cruise! 😀 This makes me want to cruise sooner than later.

nice tour Enjoy the rest of your cruise. NO BUFFET

We are on the same cruise. We are on the Aloha deck. We have the exact same picture in our stateroom from Norway too! We also love the bedding and beds plus the USB ports. Enjoy your cruise!

Thanks Don

awesome room.

Nice.

It’s early 2023 and we just completed a two week cruise on Sky Princess. We had a mini-suite room on deck 16, Lido, and loved it. The mini-suite has a full size hide-a-bed sofa, a bigger desk, and a decent sized tub in the bathroom. Closet space is the same, bed and bed area is the same, and the balcony is the same. The ship is well taken care of and the staff are responsive to any issues you raise. We had a couple days of 20+ mph winds. Some slight movement could be felt but did not interfere. We would do it all again in a heartbeat!

Don, you can swap your elite mini bar - so you could get coke or Diet Coke for the liquor if you don’t want the liquor (so you don’t have to buy your own!), or you can swap liquor for other liquor (so if you prefer all vodka, or example, they will do that). You can also swap the soft drinks only. You can also swap the entire setup for 2 coffee “card” packages or a bottle of wine. You just call room service and they are more than happy to change it.

Thank you for showing us around the cabin. I am booked for 3 cruises on the princess next year and it can't come quick enough for me.

I look forward to the Buffet restaurant tour

Nice room, overall

Nice little cabin. Closet is wonderful, but everything else is a little smaller than what we’re used to.

Nice

Hair is styling Don :)

With two exceptions, I have exclusively traveled with Royal Caribbean. I’ve never been on a Princess Cruise but the way you talk them up, I’m considering trying them out now. 🤔

My friends who are Elite cruisers on Princess and get the mini bar set up each cruise as a perk, always ask to switch it out for something of their liking - usually beer and/or diet cokes.

Bed looks great but maybe seems a bit lonely when in it. Like the design of balcony with high enough dividers for privacy. Princess cruises have been my favorite.

Have you ever been on a cruise ship in a major storm? This probably sounds crazy, but the videos of it always make it look kinda mesmerizing watching the waves wash over the windows.

This is a fantastic tour, and gives a really good insight to someone actually ‘using’ the room, rather than it being fully presented immediately after check in. Question from my side - are the solo rates on this ship double fare, or more reasonable?

We on the Sky Princess, Aloha deck, and agree with your comments, interior cabin.

Princess has always been our fav, but the shower curtain is the pits! Still, Sky is on our bucket list.

Looks really nice are you going to give us The full tour of the ship

I was curious to see it leave port.. the part I loved about Regal was the outrigger bar area with the covered space and furniture to sit on, and tables to eat your breakfast at. In this ship it appears the aft is the same as the crown princess, with the aft pool and the c shape in the outrigger bar area, thus losing the extended seating area of the royal and regal. As well, it looked like the retread pool and sanctuary area was the same as crown princess rather than the other royal class ships, at least from the view I had in port.

Thanks Don. We have our first Princess cruise coming up from Fort Lauderdale to Quebec. I think the only thing that will annoy me in the cabin is having a shower curtain. Love the closet set up. We are staying a couple of extra nights in Quebec, any suggestions? Thanks.

About 14 days and I’m on the Sky Princess!

I love Princess and have sailed on Majestic Princess which looks almost identical, at least from the exterior. You had nothing hanging in your closet, was suitcase overworked on this cruise? I can't wait to unpack on the first day because that means my cruise has really commenced. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

Is the shower the same size as balcony showers on the Emerald? It looks pretty large in your video. My husband is a large man and doesn’t like the small showers. So we usually get a Mini Suite.

Thanks Don. MickieG Adelaide Sth Australia

You can trade your minibar for soda and water, or for a coffee card. Just a thought. Thank you for your video.

Nice cabin, Don, but we prefer midships. No particular reason but it suits us.

Hi Don, thanks for the review. I believe your room was close to the self service laundromats, was there any noticeable noises or increased traffic going in and out of the area? Thank you kindly.

I've watched Don's video so much .my girlfriend thinks there's something going on . I keep telling her it's addictive.

Is there shampoo/ body wash dispensers in the shower? Is the fan on a separate switch? Couldn't hear it!

I see shower curtains, so I'm guessing no wrap around glass or fiberglass shower enclosure, and like a previous comment what about legroom in the toilet area. One reason to book a mini suite, you get a tub that offers way more elbow room without getting tangled up in the curtain and water leaking onto the floor.

What backpack do you find best for your travels?

I believe Gary Bembridge is on the same cruise you are

This room doesn’t seem any different than a balcony on Carnival. Will you sail on the Mardi Gras ? It seems to have a lot of improvements over other balconies. I would love to see you do a review of it.

I think I got into the wrong career. Don, I shoulda went your route. 👍🏻👍🏻

Were those reading lights in the ceiling? I recently got off Holland and loved their gooseneck reading lights. Noticed you didn’t unpack. Wondering why, with all that space.

Are the Sky Princess balconies a little bigger on the Caribe deck like most other Princess ships? We always get Caribe because the balconies are a bit bigger than Baja or Dolphin.

Nice Don! Where are you sailing?

I'm a big fan of the Deluxe Balcony cabin on Princess. It's much less expensive than the Mini Suite, and only a little more than a regular Balcony cabin.

If that's a deluxe balcony, is there a regular balcony size? BTW, how's the internet?

Celebrity has foam toppers on their beds. Better than home. Good job.

Is the deluxe balcony bigger then a regular balcony?

Looks very nice and comfortable. I am not a fan to beige. I would prefer calming blue. (everyone has colors they prefer) Definatly not a fan of bright colors in my room! But all in all it looks really nice.

Don what’s your favorite top 3 princess ships ?

Is Regal class approximately the same that we will take to Alaska? JVH TEXAS

Do you think it is worth an extra $600 for the deluxe balcony versus a standard balcony cabin? Other than a small couch there does not seem to be much difference.

Exchange the spirits for more soda

Hey don are you on the inaugural cruise(12/7-12/14)? We're on the same voyage, just inquiring.

Can the light beside the bed be unplugged? No plug beside the bed is a no go for someone with sleep apnea that uses a CPAP.

Why don't you swap the mini bar for something else?

Glad you got the new beds. The Regal princess had terrible beds. I'm still not liking Princess. They should have added plugs by bed on this new ship

Hi Don. I cannot tell if there is a bathtub or a shower. I feel that bathtubs on cruise ships are dangerous as you have to step over the side onto a slippery, curved surface, on a moving boat. A dedicated shower is much safer.

"we had a really good sleep last night" (6:45). Don I thought you were a solo cruiser! Just who is this 'we'?

We are aboard as well. Would love to have a chance to say hello, I watch all your videos

How is the wifi? On the last Princess ship you said that it was crap. We are going on the Sky Princess in Feb. and we are not sure if we will get the internet package. Waiting to hear from you.

Thank you for the tour. That bathroom is plenty big enough to do the four S's. Looking forward to your tour of the rest of the ship.

Im staying in the sky suites don! Do you want me to take videos for you my cruise is in 12 days

Is there a way to have a bottle of rye or vodka in your room? My husband and our friend would like that ...
