Having done numerous cruises with a number of other cruise lines we were recommended Princess as being superior and on this occasion it was the only ship going to Northern Europe. A must on my daughter's wish list and we could fault the stops, but be ware excursions run by Princess were ridiculous high in price, so we did our own thing.This is a very pricey cruise company for service

Embarkation in Southampton: We had the Moxy prebook our taxi for 11:00AM to go the pier. I didn’t keep close watch on the timing, but, everything was very fast and easy from drop off (plenty of signs telling which area to drop your bags) through to getting on the ship. We had our medallions so no wait for those. We were onboard well before noon. Disembarkation was equally fast and easy, it was

We chose this specific voyage as it was more port-intensive and included two scenic fjords we were eager to see - Geirangerfjord and Nordfjord.The GREAT:- Super clean stateroom (mini-suite), attentive and friendly room steward- Ship design - we're familiar with this class of ship, and just LOVE the warmth and ambiance of a Princess ship- Ports were amazing; we were blessed with

Sky Princess was a Fantastic cruise. The staff were amazing and it’s so well run. Gigi was in charge of the bars and she was an absolute pleasure. She always had a friendly chat to us. The drinks and food were five star. We loved the Fyords, the views from our balcony were amazing. The shows were as good as West End shows. I cannot fault anything. We bought a drinks package which was worth doing

We were fortunate enough to be able to go on an 8 day Fjord cruise at the begining of the season out of Southampton. The embarkation was a well oiled machine and the staff were efficient and courteous. Luggage arrived to our cabin in a timely fashion and our cabin and steward were both superb. We had an aft facing balcony cabin which was well maintained, quiet and comfortable. The weather for

We wanted a change from the Med, so Norway seemed like a pretty different cruise with something genuinely new to see. The fjords did not disappoint, everywhere you turn there is another stunning view. As for the ship, it's mostly well laid out with a beautiful piazza and it feels premium thoughout. The Take Five lounge is a bit of a waste, as Jazz isn't nearly as popular as someone seems to think

This was our first cruise on Princess, although we have cruised many times on NCL and RCCL. The itinerary and price is what attracted us to this particular cruise of the Norwegian fjords. Overall, we were not disappointed.We took care of our flights, hotel and transportation ourselves. We flew into LHR and took the excellent BlackBerry Car service (a private car with driver).
