Creator's Key Takeaways

I've cruised with P and O Cruises, Royal Caribbean, Princess Cruises, and more.

The buffet was the best I've had on any cruise.

The service on Sky Princess was the best I've had on any cruise.

Princess do accessibility really well and this was something I really appreciated traveling with my mom who uses a mobility scooter.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Allow loads of time for DIY excursions to avoid missing the ship.
If you suffer from seasickness, take medication for the Bay of Biscay.
Arrive early for the theater if you need accessible seating.

Thinking of booking a cruise on Sky Princess and wondering if it really lives up to the hype? In this Sky Princess honest review, I share exactly what my 14-night Mediterranean Adventure cruise was like – travelling with my family and sharing an accessible cabin with my mum. I’ll walk you through embarkation and disembarkation from Southampton, the ship’s look and layout, dining, entertainment, itinerary, service, Medallion tech, and how accessible Sky Princess really is if you or someone you’re travelling with has mobility needs. You’ll find out: • What embarkation and disembarkation on Princess are really like compared to P and O and Royal Caribbean • Why the World Fresh Marketplace buffet was the best buffet I’ve had at sea so far • What worked (and what didn’t) in the main dining room on a 14-night Med cruise • How the itinerary felt with 5 ports in a row and 7 sea days (including a very rough Bay of Biscay!) • What the entertainment is like – from 5 Skies and Voice of the Ocean to Halloween celebrations, live music and Movies Under the Stars • Why the crew and service on Sky Princess really stood out • How the Medallion app and tech work in real life – from finding your cabin to finding your family on a big ship • A quick overview of accessibility on Sky Princess – accessible cabin, theatre seating and getting on and off the ship If you’re trying to decide whether Sky Princess or Princess Cruises in general are right for you, this review will give you an honest look at both the positives and the niggles – including value for money and all those extra costs like drinks, gratuities and packages. ⛴ Cruise details: • Ship: Sky Princess (Princess Cruises) • Itinerary: 14-night Mediterranean Adventure • Ports: La Coruña, Barcelona, Marseille, Livorno (for Pisa & Florence), Civitavecchia (for Rome), Corsica • Cabin: Inside accessible cabin (sharing with my mum and her mobility scooter ▶️ Watch next in my Sky Princess series 🛳 Sky Princess Full Ship Tour – Deck by Deck Guide 👉 https://youtu.be/82aD6dMJfWk 🍽 Sky Princess Dining Options – What’s Worth It? 👉 Full dining review of every included and specialty venue https://youtu.be/NK0eyhF77ww 🎥 Sky Princess Embarkation Day & First Impressions 👉 See what Southampton embarkation and day one are really like https://youtu.be/4TOPtpT52kQ If you’ve sailed on Sky Princess or are thinking of booking this itinerary, let me know your questions in the comments.
