Creator's Key Takeaways

I have sailed on both ships on two very different itineraries.

Regal Princess is the older of the two. Inside she is absolutely beautiful.

Sky Princess is the newer sister and you really feel that in the cabins and some of the public spaces.

So for pools and outdoor relaxation, Regal Princess, which may surprise some, wins overall.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose your itinerary first, then choose the ship that fits.
If dining is a big part of choosing your ship, consider the full dining reviews linked in the description.
