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

βœ“Pay attention to the little maps by each lift and to the medallion touchcreens for directions.
βœ“Choose a midship cabin on a lower deck for stability in rough seas.
βœ“Use Estrella on deck 6 for a calm sit-down lunch on embarkation day.
βœ“Book dining times in the Medallion app for Sello main dining room.
βœ“Pack swimwear, medication, and chargers in hand luggage to use pools immediately.

Finding way around ship β€” Use the piaza on decks 5, 6, and 7 as an anchor point to reorient.
Motion sickness β€” Choose midship cabin on lower deck for stability.
Pool availability on sea days β€” Go out early for prime sunbeds, or use hidden deck 7 aft space for quiet.
