Sky Princess nice ship, room for improvement.
Just returned from a 2wk cruise on the Med on Sky Princess. Vigo, Cadiz, Malaga, Ajaccio, Marseille, Gib and Lisbon. Ports good except Marseille which is a big industrial port. Weather was good, warm and sunny, except for Lisbon which was overcast and chilly. Lovely ship and we had a mini-suite which was nice. We are Elite so had the extras, mini-bar, canopes, robes etc. The food in the main dining rooms was disappointing. The cuts of meat were poor quality, in particular the streaks. The Club steak was tough, chewy and grizzly and the New York strip steak was little better. After some time we decided to forgo the main dining rooms and eat in the buffet and International Cafe were standards were good. Although did miss the 'dining' experience. The entertainment was patchy, the production shows were good, although there was only 3. Glad to see they didn't have the daft booking system, like on Iona. The other big bugbear was the one of the TVs in the room, kept going off and on continually, saying it was trying to reboot. This was very annoying when watching films, which we did a lot due to the lack of entertainment. We felt standards have dropped since we last cruised with Princess pre'covid. The staff were all very helpful and pleasant, better than Iona which we cruised in October. All in all enjoyed the cruise, but feel Princess need to up their game, in particular with regard to the food.
