Creator's Key Takeaways

I wish I had known that before I got on.

The included dining on Sky Princess is genuinely excellent.

The retreat pool is completely free. It's not part of the sanctuary and it's a great quiet spot if you want adults only without paying extra.

Once you know the system, both embarcation and disembarkcation days are surprisingly easy.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Choose a midship cabin on a lower deck for stability.
Use the Piazza as your anchor point to reorient yourself on the ship.
Book dining in the Medallion app for Sello main dining room.
Arrive early on embarkation day to explore the ship quietly.
