Frequently Asked Questions
Sky Princess measures 145,281 GT, 330 m long and 38.4 m wide, over 19 numbered decks with 15 open to guests. She carries 3,660 guests at double occupancy in 1,830 cabins, 81% of them with a balcony. The hull is the same one Royal Princess launched in 2013, but with fifty more cabins and roughly 2,500 more tons of measured volume: Princess filled in space the first two ships left empty. Note that princess.com publishes 141,000 GT for this ship, a figure that contradicts the registry and is best not repeated.
The 3,660 figure is double occupancy. With every berth filled she approaches 4,600, a gap of nearly a thousand people and the widest in the class, because Sky was drawn with more family cabins than her elders. On a 7-day Caribbean loop from Port Canaveral over school break you will sail at that upper figure, and you feel it at the buffet and around the pool. On a 15-day Southampton sailing in June you will be much closer to 3,660.
She is the first ship in the class to lose the SeaWalk. Princess removed the glass walkway from deck 17 starboard along with the SkyLight Bar that mirrored it to port, and reinvested the top of the ship differently: two Sky Suites, cabins S309 and S310 in category S0, planted midship on deck 18 with a wraparound terrace opening onto the Movies Under the Stars screen, roughly 174 m² each and sleeping up to five. The Sanctuary was enlarged and carries twice as many private cabanas as on Royal and Regal, and a Wakeview pool was added aft. Sky also has The Catch by Rudi and the OceanFront seafood bar, neither of which exists on the first two ships. Discovery Princess and Enchanted Princess follow the same plan.
She spends summer 2026 at Southampton on long 15-day loops plus a 21-day itinerary combining the western Mediterranean and Norway, running to late October. She then crosses the Atlantic to Port Canaveral, in 16 days or 28 depending on the departure you pick. From 20 November 2026 she is based at Port Canaveral on 7- and 10-day Caribbean loops through year-end. No drydock is scheduled for her in 2026.
She stays at Port Canaveral from January to early March 2027, recrosses to Southampton on 7 March in 16 or 23 days, then works Europe from 22 March through September 2027 on 8- and 15-day loops out of Southampton. In late October 2027 she returns to Fort Lauderdale and closes the year in the Caribbean. That means three different flights from Montréal: Port Canaveral is reached through Orlando, nonstop from Montréal plus about an hour by road to the terminal; Fort Lauderdale is also nonstop; Southampton runs through London plus roughly 90 minutes by road or rail from Heathrow. The home-port switch from Port Canaveral to Fort Lauderdale in autumn 2027 is the classic trap: check the terminal on this year's document, not last year's.
Sky offers two categories Royal and Regal do not: Deluxe Balcony and Premium Oceanview, the latter an outside cabin with a proper window and no balcony, a sensible trade on an October crossing when the balcony goes unused. For the Caribbean, aim midship on deck 10 Caribe or deck 11 Baja. For a family of five, Sky Suites S309 and S310 on deck 18 are the only cabins in the class built for that number, with two bathrooms and the largest terrace in the fleet, open to the giant screen, which also makes them the only cabins where you hear the movie. The Reserve Collection Mini-Suite remains the best comfort-for-money in the class, with its own reserved dining room section.
Included in the fare: the main dining rooms, the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, the 24-hour International Café, the deck 7 Alfredo's that Princess calls the largest complimentary pizzeria at sea with 121 seats, the Slice pizzeria, the Salty Dog Grill and Swirls ice cream. Extra-charge: Crown Grill, Sabatini's, The Catch by Rudi for seafood, the OceanFront bar with sushi and sashimi, Crab Shack and Chef's Table Lumiere. Bars include Good Spirits at Sea, Bellini's and Vines. The attractions worth knowing are the enlarged Sanctuary, the aft Wakeview pool, The Enclave at Lotus Spa, the Princess Theater, the Princess Live studio, Vista Lounge, Movies Under the Stars, and up on deck 18 Princess Sports Central with its golf cage, laser shooting range and the Phantom Bridge escape room.
Losing the SeaWalk is the first disappointment and it is a real one: guests who saw the Royal Princess photos come aboard looking for the glass walkway, and it is not here. The rest belongs to the class: no full outdoor lap of the ship, a walking track banished to deck 18 at seven laps to the mile, narrow balconies, and stepped aft staterooms overlooked from above. Density is the highest of the five, up to roughly 4,600 people at full occupancy, so on a 7-day holiday sailing from Port Canaveral deck 16 fills by mid-morning. And the one place that solves that, The Sanctuary, carries a fee, while the only two genuinely generous cabins on board are two suites out of one thousand eight hundred and thirty.
Included: your cabin, the main dining rooms, the World Fresh Marketplace buffet, the International Café, Alfredo's and Slice, the Salty Dog Grill, ice cream, Princess Theater shows, Movies Under the Stars, the pools including Wakeview, and the fitness centre. Extra: alcohol and specialty coffees, Wi-Fi, crew appreciation, shore excursions, valet laundry, The Sanctuary, The Enclave, plus Crown Grill, Sabatini's, The Catch by Rudi and OceanFront. Princess offers two bundles, Princess Plus and Princess Premier, covering part of that list. On a 7-day loop from Port Canaveral the maths takes a few minutes with your advisor: 1-866-628-6241.
They are not in the base fare. Princess posts a daily Crew Appreciation charge to your onboard account, scaled to stateroom category, and adds a service percentage to each bar order. Both are prepaid with Princess Plus and Princess Premier. On a 10-day Port Canaveral loop that is ten days of the charge per person, including the child in the third berth, and it is the line families most often leave out of the budget.
Princess sells no standalone drink package, only two bundles. Princess Plus gives fifteen drinks a day under a per-drink ceiling, specialty coffees and teas, bottled water, one connected device, a few casual meals and prepaid crew appreciation. Princess Premier lifts the daily count, raises the ceiling, adds four devices, unlimited specialty dining, digital photos and a reserved Princess Theater section. On Sky Princess the drinking question centres on Good Spirits at Sea and Vines, and for anyone planning several dinners at Crown Grill or The Catch by Rudi it is the dining side, not the drinks, that decides it. Details and the arithmetic: 1-866-628-6241.
Sky Princess was born with the Medallion, unlike Royal and Regal, which were retrofitted. The disc opens your door as you approach, works as your payment method with photo verification, speeds boarding at Port Canaveral, and OceanNow follows you to a lounger by the Wakeview pool. MedallionNet handles video calls and streaming, and stays chargeable outside the bundles. The irritants: the app and the pre-cruise steps are compulsory before you travel, the disc registers your position on board because that is what makes delivery work, mailing it to your home is chargeable while collecting it at the terminal is not, and OceanNow delivery carries its own fee outside the bundles, which few people discover before the first order.
She is the best of the five for a family without being a theme park. The youth spaces sit on deck 17, split from 3 to 7 and from 8 to 12, with two video game rooms, an outdoor play area and the Remix Lounge & Disco for 13 to 17. On deck 18, Princess Sports Central adds a multi-sport court, a golf cage, a laser shooting range and the Phantom Bridge escape room, which teenagers will play twice. Two Sky Suites sleep five, which no other cabin aboard does; six exist across the class, two per ship. That said, there is no water slide and no ropes course, so compare honestly against a Royal Caribbean ship before you book.
It builds reasonably fast here, because she alternates 7-day loops with long European sailings. Gold arrives with your first cruise, Ruby at three cruises or thirty cruise days, Platinum at five cruises or fifty days, Elite at fifteen cruises or a hundred and fifty. The count takes whichever of the two measures serves you better, and booking a suite or sailing solo earns double credit, which makes Sky Suites S309 and S310 interesting to anyone building status. Complimentary self-service laundry and priority embarkation arrive at Platinum.
In the Caribbean out of Port Canaveral, very rarely between December and April. The two stretches to watch are the crossings: October 2026 westbound to Port Canaveral and 7 March 2027 eastbound to Southampton, a week or more of open water at a season when the North Atlantic is not gentle. The European summer loops also touch the Bay of Biscay and the North Sea, both rougher than people expect. Book midship on a lower deck, start the tablets before boarding, and stay away from far-forward deck 15 if you are sensitive.
