Creator's Key Takeaways

We do not think the Sky Princess is the worst cruise ship out there. In fact, we are quite the opposite.

If you're not being entertained, it's probably not the ship's fault. It must be your own fault.

YouTube Video Description

Is Sky Princess really one of the worst cruise ships — or are the complaints getting out of hand? After spending months aboard Sky Princess, we've heard plenty of opinions from fellow passengers. We've heard complaints about the food, service, entertainment, crowds, the condition of the ship and even claims that Princess Cruises just isn't what it used to be. But are those complaints fair? In this video, we're taking a closer look at the biggest complaints we've heard about Sky Princess and sharing what we've actually experienced after living aboard the ship for months. Some of the complaints we agree with. Some we think are exaggerated. And there are plenty of things we think Sky Princess gets right. We'll talk about the food and dining, service from the crew, entertainment, crowded areas, the ship itself and some of the changes we've noticed while cruising with Princess. And at the end, we'll answer the big question: Is Sky Princess really that bad? Our answer might surprise you. We're Ed & Mai from Ed & Mai: WanderFree Retirees. We retired early, sold our home and most of our belongings, and started traveling the world while figuring out what retirement looks like on a realistic budget. If you're considering a Sky Princess cruise — or you've already sailed aboard her — we'd love to hear what YOU think. Do you agree with the complaints? What does Sky Princess get wrong? And what does Princess still get right? Leave your thoughts in the comments!
