Creator's Key Takeaways

So, it's our first port day on Sky Princess and as Princess newbies, it's definitely taken some getting used to.

I must say one thing I really love about Norway is how colorful the buildings are.

The cruise director Dan Looney's performance was extremely hilarious, but also very raw, and we absolutely loved it.

Norway surprised us with much hotter weather than we expected, and we're definitely not complaining.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Make sure you always have your medallion with you when you're leaving the ship because you need it to embark and disembark.
If you're booking independently and not through the ship, just make sure you're back on time as the ship won't wait for you.
Check the Princess Cruisers app for daily information and port guides.

YouTube Video Description

It’s our very first port day on our Sky Princess cruise, and we end up experiencing something we really weren’t expecting! Sailing on Sky Princess has already been a completely new adventure for us, and this day definitely didn’t turn out how we thought it would (Vlog #3). In this video, we take you along on our Sky Princess cruise vlog as we explore life both onboard and ashore. From time spent out in port to relaxing back on the Sky Princess pool deck, enjoying the ship’s entertainment, and discovering new dining options, it’s all part of the adventure of our Princess Cruises Scandinavia itinerary. Back onboard, we make the most of everything Sky Princess has to offer. Whether it’s the atmosphere in the Sky Princess Atrium, enjoying drinks at one of the many Sky Princess bars, or sampling food in the Sky Princess dining venues, we’re starting to get a real feel for the ship. Later, we catch some of the amazing Sky Princess entertainment, including live music and a theatre show. If you’re researching a future Sky Princess cruise ship holiday, curious about what happens on port days, or just wondering whether Sky Princess is the right ship for you, this vlog gives you a real look at the experience. From cabins to dining, drinks, entertainment, and what a typical day looks like, we’re sharing our honest take on what it’s really like onboard. This episode is part of our brand-new Sky Princess cruise vlog series, filmed on our 7-night Scandinavia cruise from Southampton in May 2025. It’s our very first time sailing with Princess Cruises, and we’ll be sharing our honest thoughts and experiences throughout - including Sky Princess embarkation in Southampton, our inside cabin tour, dining in the main restaurants, and of course plenty of Sky Princess tips for anyone planning a future trip.
