It allows you the freedom to eat with whomever you wish, and whenever you like – just as you would at a fine restaurant, between the hours of 5:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. This is an extended version of Free Dining now used on Carnival’s P&O brand which more of you may be familiar with. You can have a table for two one evening and join a group for a festive meal the next. The choice is yours, you do not have to stay fixed from cruise day 1. There is a familiarity to Princess ships but our cruisers tell us they like that there is a little more and they are a little livelier than the Carnival’s P&O brand. Most Sky Princess staterooms are 220-sq.foot balcony rooms. There are a total of 1539 staterooms in 38 different categories. Balcony Suites are the largest accommodation at 440 square feet.
Also located in the Piazza there is the round the clock International Café, and there is a pizza restaurant, Alfredo’s named after their Master Chef Alfredo Marzi. These are gourmet pizzas you can watch being prepared in the open kitchen from the dining bar. Then set in corner of the Atrium, just as P&O have The Glass House, there is the Princess wine bar; Vines. It was voted one of the “Best Wine Bars at Sea,” by USA TODAY. What you won’t have seen will be the Pastry Shop at Horizon Court, with an incredible assortment of fresh pies and cakes to decadent pastries and more.
