We set sail with Princess cruises on the Sky Princess this month to the Caribbean with 10 {couples} complete from our church and we had a good time. We left from Port Canaveral Florida. I’d say that I take pleasure in cruising greater than Mark does, however he’s a sport and goes alongside. That is our second cruise with our church associates and it’s an effective way to journey. It’s good to produce other folks on board that you realize and we loved hanging out collectively, consuming dinner collectively in a chosen room, enjoying playing cards, and going to the night exhibits. I’ll share all of the issues we did on this cruise, in addition to impressions of the Princess ship.
The Sky Princess holds over 3500 passengers and over 1300 crew members. It’s a reasonably ship, however I didn’t assume it was as elegant as a number of the different ships we’ve been on. This explicit ship didn’t have an enormous lounging area with massive home windows on the entrance of the ship like others we’ve cruised on, nevertheless it was very good.
We loved nightly sunsets from our restaurant home windows.
That they had one formal night time on the ship, however just a few folks dressed up formal. I like to decorate up a bit for dinner, however not everybody does that. I often take a couple of attire for dinner and informal for daytime.
We had been coloration coordinated most nights. Mark nonetheless hates to get his image taken, so I’m all the time dragging him to a spot to pose.
He’s a reasonably good sport about it and meaning we’ve got a number of nice photos from all our travels.
Right here’s a sampling of a few of our meals. I loved each one in all them!
And desserts! There have been a number of distinctive desserts that we loved.
Yet another sundown!
We had 3 stops on this cruise, the primary one in Freeport, Bahamas. I’ve been there earlier than though it’s been a few years, nevertheless it’s not often known as an important cease. Because it was raining, we didn’t even get off the ship there. Our subsequent cease was Grand Turk in Turks and Caicos islands and it was a fantastic day so we received off with our associates and walked across the retailers subsequent to the pier. A few of our people took excursions on this 6 mile lengthy island, however we determined not to do this.
The seashores had been effectively used that day because it was within the excessive 70’s and really snug.
The water was beautiful!
A lot of seaside spots close to the pier and ships.
After all, to get a cabana or lounge chairs, there was a cost. We didn’t keep out too lengthy, however walked round and headed again to the ship for lunch.

Again on board, I discovered good lounging spots outdoors by the pool a couple of days and all of us hung on the market, studying, speaking and consuming ice cream. That is my buddy, Eva. Our Sunday College class has a spread of ages from the 50’s to the 80’s and they’re all nice folks.
Listed here are most of our group, minus a few folks. We loved being collectively!
Time for one more dinner.
After dinner, we headed to the 7 pm nightly exhibits within the theater. This man, Dan, was a powerful Elvis performer and we actually loved him.
We noticed equally spectacular acrobats, Duo Delight from Ukraine they usually had been excellent.
The manager chef did a presentation one morning within the theater and it was fascinating.
Supper time once more!
I like for us to mix in our clothes, so it often works out and the pics look nice.
Final cease was Nassau, Bahamas and in the event you’ve been there, you realize it’s nothing particular. When you go as soon as, that’s all you might want to go. I’ve been a couple of occasions to Nassau, nevertheless it’s been years.
Their tree was nonetheless up and fairly.
We walked to the fort up on a hill from the ship and that was a pleasant stroll.
We additionally visited the Queen’s Stairs, a well-known landmark.
A lot of folks there that day with a number of ships docked.

Strolling downtown.
And ending by the Straw Market. Are you able to consider we didn’t go in?!
Colourful retailers.

Saying goodbye to Nassau. This can be a personal island owned by Royal Caribbean.
Goodbye to Princess cruises! We did take pleasure in our cruise loads and I’d like to do one other Princess. It’s enjoyable to check out completely different ships and see which of them are a greater match. I liked Celeb and Princess in addition to NCL. I’m positively a cruise individual and wish to do extra. One in every of our couple associates from church are hitting 100 lifetime cruises, however I’m positive we’ll by no means attain that many, however I’d positively do extra!
