We had a brilliant time and couldn’t fault a thing, the app would crash now and then but it wasn’t much of a problem really, the staff were all so friendly and fantastic, the ship was absolutely beautiful! Our room was like nothing we’ve ever had before (admittedly we were auto upgraded from a balcony) we were so pleased with the whole experience we booked to go on Regal princess just 4 weeks later (also fantastic) and we’re due back on sky in about 4 weeks time to Norway!

We’ve not done RC so can’t compare directly, but Princess would be a brilliant choice. Very nice ships (Sky is back next year), food is good, service amazing and the prices at the moment are good. Princess plus (drinks, WiFi and tips) is only £30pppd. Speciality dining is $25-$29pp. Princess don’t have the active things like a flow rider or climbing walls so it does depend what you are after.
