Always loved the walk in closet on Princess

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It has so much storage, we just kept getting in each others way! 🤣

[@jollyrob]

We also had a mini suite on deck 15 although I wasn't quick enough to secure one of the extra space balcony rooms - they'd all been booked early. I was careful not to pick a room actually under the pool area where I was told it could be noisy especially when the sunbeds are being dragged around the deck. The only other possible negative I thought some may have with this deck was the overhang of deck 16 above the balcony but it didn't bother me particularly. All in all our deck 15 location generally worked great for us and I would def pick it again.......maybe the app will be sorted or at least improved for next time 🤞

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes definitely book early to get the bigger balconies! Thanks for watching!

[@LowVisionUKTerrysView]

loved that Paul and Carole, thank you. I would never have thought to use the tv to order food/drinks etc...absolute top tip. Im on the sky in a mini suite on Lido on Saturday..so hoping for decent wifi! but, if all else fails..use the tv haha x x

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol exactly! Have a great cruise 😃

[@JulieWallis1963]

We had a refund for the wifi on our cruise but we never had any issues with it at all. We were traveling transatlantic so really made the onboard wifi work, I managed to FaceTime (video chat) with my daughter every day.

[@dianacarragher5845]

Lovely video of the cabin love Princess ships. We sail on the Coral Princess on the 22nd it has been named as a day of mourning in Australia so that is unfortunate but I'm looking forward to it after over 2 years .

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is unfortunate but sure you will have a fabulous time. It has been a long time coming!

[@JulieWallis1963]

My husband and I have just returned from our latest cruise. Disney with the grandchildren, terrific fun. But our most favourite ever cruise was on the *Sky Princess*

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Bet Disney was great fun with kids. We have looked but the prices are crazy!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

I made seriously good use of the laundry on Sky Princess. I went with deck 14 so I had no trouble with noise at all.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Oh really that's good to know, thanks!

[@abigailgerlach5443]

Love you both and I hope to run into on a cruise one day.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks hope so too!

[@eminiarvii]

Well i must have been fortunate, i was on the Sky Princess Dec 2021. And the wifi was terrific.. i even did a proctored COVID test in my room via the wifi without a hiccup. I was sailing on the Regal right afterwards. I also had a club class mini suite with extended balcony on the Aloha deck A429. Going back on the sky in Feb 2023 club class mini suite again and an extended balcony

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Think it's all down to capacity, it is so hit and miss!

[@eminiarvii]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel you are correct. It seems across the Atlantic there is more trouble than here in North America( not that we are without trouble at times)Happy cruising to you two🚢😊

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes does seem more hit and miss over here!

[@ginawilson3279]

Hi did the overhang from seawalk block out sun ? Thank you

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

No not always depending on the position of the sun.

[@AudreyMealiff]

Congratulations on 20 years!! ❤

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thank you! Hopefully many more! 😍

[@Donszee]

Another excellent video. I always look forward seeing the new ones.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Don!

[@chriswilliams6568]

that bathroom/ closet issue is no problem. The closet person just comes out of there to let the other in bathroom. We have never even thought about it. We like the walk in closet. I would not like having a bath as it is hard to get in it for me. Thanks for the video. We have not had a problem with the medallion, but that was before the app. and we have yet to use that. We will have to use it for our Dec 18 th Panama cruise on the Emerald. Happy Anniversary to you both.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

The closet may not be a problem for you but we found it frustrating at times. Hope all goes well on emerald for you! 😃

[@chriswilliams6568]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel happy anniversary to you both. One only stands in closet for 1 minute.

[@PaulSmith-lv9qp]

Thanks for posting this review, we have watched with great interest. The option to upgrade to this from our current choice for a few hundred pounds has come and is really causing some heading scratching on whether to change!. Currently have an aft deluxe balcony booked. Aft balcony v bigger cabin………

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Aft cabins are great! What is your itinerary is it port intensive?

[@PaulSmith-lv9qp]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel hello 👋. It’s the baltics, Norway, Sweden, Denmark etc. 9 ports I think, 14 day. Next year

[@travelswithlizzylou]

I wouldn't mind the lido deck above as i wear earplugs at night, but not sure about overhang on balcony, especially for fjords 🤔

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

The over hang didn't bother us as we had a great view forward, but definitely would not of picked one of the cabins in the centre of the Sky Walk!

[@brigidconroy2111]

Ah, Pattney Spears lives forever! great vid of cabin, nice balcony

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Thanks Katie, that's great to hear! Will definitely be thanking Emma too! 😃

[@ntpryce]

Hi, was this Mini Suite a Club Class one, or not? Also, having stayed in this and also the Aft Premier Deluxe Balcony cabin, which did you think was better between the two and why? And lastly, did you find there was more noise or movement with the Aft balcony cabin compared to the Mini Suite? Thanks again for your vlogs - they're always great! (ps we're cruising on the Sky from Southampton on 1 April 2023 - so excited).

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Hi David, it was just a regular Mini Suite. Definitely more movement and creaking in the aft cabin. Depends if you want the aft view or not. Thanks for watching our vlogs and have a fabulous cruise on Sky!

[@maureengifford5659]

A question on another matter.I will be doing a Cruise from Southampton and I am not a fan of Escalators.Will there be stairs?Thank you.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

I don't remember seeing stairs but there are lifts. There are plenty of staff around so do ask them regarding stairs when you get there.

[@maureengifford5659]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel Thank you.

[@paulireland5761]

Random question Paul and Carol, have you ever been offered a chance to bid on upgrades with Princess. I read somewhere its for US passengers only. I have an up coming cruise booked through VacationsToGo. The cruise is about 3 months out. I'm Irish name may have given that away. Just love your videos, best chemistry I've ever seen the two of you have, and so funny

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Aw thanks Paul, that’s very kind of you. We’ve never bid on an upgrade or been offered the chance. Maybe it is an American thing?

[@robandalicruisetravel]

Edwin's been a Starr - love it.🤣

Oh fab!

[@victorhawkins3461]

The app and the wi-fi are damn near worthless, except (as Paul said) opening the stateroom door.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Yes such a shame, in theory would be wonderful!

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Sadly yes, so inconsistent!

[@chriswilliams6568]

and ordering drinks wherever you are on the ship. On the Regal Princess in Aug 2019 on a Baltic crz, , we never had a problem with it.

[@cruisingforone]

You fix the walk in closet issue by cruising solo, lol

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

Lol yes that would sort it! 🤣

[@andreatuckman1084]

I haven’t heard a single positive thing about the medallion or Wi-Fi on any Princess ship.

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

It is definitely an issue!

[@pumpkin462]

Yeah… you can order at the bar like normal ect… but booking dinner reservations is probably the most important and it failed for us Everytime. The idea is nice

[@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel]

The idea is great the reality is far from ideal!

[@pumpkin462]

@@PaulandCaroleLovetoTravel so much so! Still like princess though!
