The number of all cabin categories is 38. Just like the sisterships (and NCL Epic ) the Sky Princess ship has no Oceanview cabins (any outside staterooms with Picture- or Porthole windows).

Follows the review of Sky Princess staterooms as amenities, furniture and included (complimentary) services:

All staterooms are quads (accommodating max 4 passengers), only Sky Suites are 5-person. The cruise liner has no Oceanview staterooms (with Porthole- or Picture Window views).

All balcony cabins are with sliding glass doors (floor-ceiling) opening to a private step-out veranda. Most cabin balconies are relatively small (sized 40 ft2 / 4 m2) and narrow, furnished with footstools, 2 patio chairs and a round table. Balcony railings are either of toughened glass or solid steel. Balcony staterooms have ample closet space, bathroom (WC-shower), double sofabed, desk-chair, chest of drawers.

The new cabin beds feature a luxury pillow-top mattress, individually wrapped coils (reducing surface sway) and hypoallergenic duvets.

Passenger-use launderettes (laundromats) are located on decks 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 16. These are self-service laundry rooms with ironing boards and detergent being provided.

Sky Princess Mini-Suite Room Tour

We recently tried out Princess Cruises’ Sky Princess, one of their newest Royal Class ships.  On our 7 night Eastern Caribbean sailing we stayed in a mini-suite, which is a balcony stateroom with additional living space and a larger bathroom.  In this video we show you around mini-suite M210 on deck 15, and highlight what we liked, and what we wished was different.  Make sure you stick around to learn what surprised us about the balcony.

Sky Princess Cabins: The Best & Worst Rooms on the Ship

This post may contain affiliate links. if you click one, i may earn a commission at no cost to you. as an amazon associate, i earn from qualifying purchases..

Sky Princess is a beautiful ship with some incredible cabins and suites. But like any cruise ship, some rooms are better than others.

I’m something of a geek when it comes to picking cruise cabins, so I’ve spent twelve hours scrutinising the Sky Princess deck plan and learning from cruise forums to produce this guide to Sky Princess cabins.

If you’re planning to cruise on Sky Princess, read on for an overview of each of the different cabin types, a list of the best cabins and details of which cabins you may wish to avoid.

Sky Princess Cabin Types

Special cabin types, sky princess cabins to avoid, the best rooms on sky princess, sky princess accommodation faqs.

There are six cabin types to choose from on Sky Princess :

Which is the best cabin type on Sky Princess for you will depend on various factors including how many people you’re cruising with and your overall budget.

Once you’ve decided on your preferred cabin type, read on for more information to help you to choose from the best cabin numbers.

Sky Princess Inside Cabins

Inside cabins are the most affordable option on Sky Princess. Sleeping two to four people, interior cabins have no windows but are ideal for those on a budget who prefer to spend their time enjoying the rest of the ship, rather than being in their room.

Each inside cabin on Sky Princess has twin beds. In some cabins (but not all) these can be converted to a Queen-size bed.

If you’re cruising with children on Sky Princess, you’ll find that some inside cabins sleep up to four people with two extra Pullman beds which come down from the ceiling. Cabins with extra beds do not have a Queen bed, only twins. This means that parents must sleep separately!

Tip: If you’re cruising as a family and want a double (Queen-size) bed on Sky Princess, you’ll need to book a Deluxe Balcony cabin or above.

Sky Princess Outside Cabins

The outside cabins on Sky Princess are really special. Rather than just a porthole or small window, these cabins have huge floor-to-ceiling slanted windows.

Each cabin has twin beds that can be arranged as a Queen bed if you prefer. These cabins can only accommodate two people, so they aren’t suitable for families.

Located on the Sun Deck and forward-facing, there are only six outside cabins on Sky Princess and one of those is only available for people needing wheelchair access. So if you want one of these stunning cabins, it’s important to book early.

Sky Princess Balcony Rooms

Balcony cabins on Sky Princess are a good option for those who like to enjoy the sea views from the comfort of their own balcony.

There are three types of balcony cabin on Sky Princess:

• Standard Balcony
• Deluxe Balcony
• Premium Deluxe Balcony

Standard Vs Deluxe Vs Premium Deluxe Balcony

Most Standard Balcony cabins accommodate two people, although you will find some that have extra Pullman beds that lower from the ceiling for third and fourth passengers. Deluxe Balcony cabins are larger, with the addition of a sofa bed so that they can accommodate three or four people easily.

If you’re considering a cabin with a balcony and are cruising as a family, it’s important to note that if you use Pullman beds, you will have to have the main beds as twin beds rather than a Queen. This is so that you can access the ladders.

If you’re cruising with kids and want to share a bed with your partner, you should go for the Deluxe or Premium Deluxe Balcony so that you can have a Queen bed, with the kids on the sofa bed.

Tip: If you’d prefer that your kids have their own beds, then go for the Standard Balcony cabin and they will each have their own Pullman bed.

Premium Deluxe Balcony cabins are like Deluxe Balcony cabins, only with larger balconies. These can accommodate three guests with a small sofa bed, and some also have an extra Pullman bed for a fourth person.

Sky Princess Mini-Suites

A nice upgrade from a balcony cabin, Mini-Suites on Sky Princess are up to 46% larger than Standard Balcony rooms and up to 38% larger than Deluxe Balcony rooms.

But Mini-Suites aren’t just about extra space. You’ll be welcomed with a glass of Champagne on embarkation day and enjoy extra comforts.

Sky Princess Mini-Suite perks:

• A separate sitting area with sofa bed and coffee table
• A bathtub and massage shower
• Up to four chairs on your balcony rather than two
• A luxury mattress topper and premium pillows
• Two televisions rather than one
• A curtain to separate the sofa bed from the main bed

Club Class Mini-Suites

Club Class Mini-Suites are have everything that you would get in a standard Mini-Suite, with some extra VIP perks that are otherwise only available to guests staying in full suites.

Club Class Mini-Suite perks:

• No queues – Priority embarkation and disembarkation at the start and end of your cruise
• Welcome drinks – Half a bottle of red wine and half a bottle of white wine on embarkation day
• Evening canapes – Complimentary premium canapes available on request
• Princess Luxury Bed – The most comfortable bed with 100% Jacquard-woven cotton sheets and a plush duvet

• Club Class Dining – Access to an exclusive area of the Main Dining Room with extra menu options and the very best service
• Priority dining reservations – Priority access to speciality restaurants
• Location – Choose a Mini-Suite in one of the best locations on the ship

Sky Princess Suites

If you want the very best accommodation with lots of space, a separate seating area and enhanced amenities, then you should consider one of Sky Princess’ wonderful suites.

Sky Princess has 6 different suite types to choose from:

Window Suites

There are two Window Suites on Sky Princess. There are located at the forward corners of the Sun Deck and have spectacular views through the floor to ceiling windows, but no balcony. These suites accommodate a third guest on a sofa bed in the separate living room.

Vista Suites

Sky Princess has six Vista Suites which are located on the Sun Deck. Vista Suites do not have a separate living room, but they do have two large wardrobes. A third guest can be accommodated on the sofa bed, although, unlike other suites, there is only a single television.

Premium Suites

There are eight Premium Suites on Sky Princess. These are located at the forward corners of Decks 9 to 12. Premium Suites accommodate up to four guests, with a separate seating area with a sofa bed. These suites have a sloping wall.

Penthouse Suites

Penthouse Suites are located mid-ship on Deck 14 as well as at the aft corners of Decks 9 to 15. Sleeping up to three or four guests, they have a spacious seating area with a sofa bed.

The best Penthouse Suites on Sky Princess are the aft-facing ones as these have wraparound balconies. The one on Deck 9 has the biggest balcony of all.

Owners Suites

Sky Princess has two owners suites which are located at the aft corners of Deck 8. Owner’s Suites can accommodate up to four guests and feature expansive wraparound balconies.

On Sky Princess, the two Sky Suites are the best suites on the ship. Located up on Deck 18, they each have 1000-square-foot balconies which offer 270-degree views over the pool and the ocean.

Sky Suites sleep up to five guests in two bedrooms and have two bathrooms and three closets. On the balcony, you’ll find a large outdoor daybed, dining table, loungers, TV, mini bar, fridge and a telescope!

Suite Perks

The different suites all come with different perks, with more benefits as you upgrade from Mini Suite to Club Class Mini Suite and then to a Full Suite.

Sky Princess aft cabins

Aft cabins are those at the very back of the ship with balconies that have stunning views over the ship’s wake. Many cruisers believe that aft-facing balconies are the best because they’re often larger than average and are less windy.

Sky Princess offers the following aft-facing rooms:

• Premium Deluxe Balconies – Located on Decks 8 to 15
• Penthouse Suites – Located on Decks 9 to 15
• Owners Suites – Located on Deck 8

Sky Princess connecting rooms

Connecting rooms are a great option for families and groups who want two cabins with a door between them.

These are the connecting room options on Sky Princess :

• Two Interior rooms
• Two Standard Balcony rooms
• A Standard Balcony and a Deluxe Balcony
• A Standard Balcony and a Mini-Suite
• Two Deluxe Balcony rooms
• Two Premium Deluxe Balcony rooms
• Two Mini-Suites

If you have more than four people in your group, be sure to look for connecting cabins that also have enough extra beds, as not all do.

Sky Princess accessible cabins

Accessible cabins on Sky Princess are designed with wheelchair users in mind. They are larger than average and feature extra-wide doors, wet rooms and step-free access. These cabins should only be booked by people with disabilities that require these facilities.

Sky Princess has the following types of accessible cabins:

• Interior – Decks 8 & 9
• Oceanview – Deck 17
• Balcony – Decks 9, 10, 11, 12 & 15
• Mini-Suite – Deck 10
• Club Class Mini-Suite – Decks 11 & 12
• Penthouse Suite – Deck 14

Now that we’re familiarised ourselves with the various cabin types, let’s take a look at which ones you’ll want to steer clear of when booking your cruise…

1. Balconies that you can’t use when the ship is at sea

L101 to L108, M101 to M108

If you book a forward-facing balcony cabin or suite on Deck 15 or 16, you will only be able to use it when the ship is in port. This is because it would be very windy so you are asked not to open your balcony doors.

While these rooms have very large balconies, that could be very frustrating if you can’t use them.

2. Balconies where you must stand up to see the sea

L101 to L108, M101 to M108 , E101 to E110

Another problem with cabins towards the very front of the ship is that the balcony railings are metal, rather than glass. This means that you will only be able to see the sea when you are standing up.

You can see photos of the metal balconies here .

3. Balconies with obstructed views

L109, L110, L114, L115, Most balconies on Deck 8 (Emerald Deck)

On Sky Princess, some balconies have views that are obstructed by the bridge or by lifeboats. Obstructed views aren’t necessarily a bad thing, as the amount of obstruction can vary hugely and these are often cheaper than non-obstructed view cabins.

An obstructed view balcony can actually be a great find if the obstruction is minimal and the price is low. You can see photos of some of the obstructed views here .

4. Cabins with beds that block the balcony doors

L122, L123, M130, M131, M505, M511, M512, M620, M621, R107, R108, R234, R235, R511, R512, R735, A511, A512, A738, A739, B511, B512, C518, C519, C620, C621, C742, C743, D151, D152, D224, D225, D517, D519, D520, D522, D618 to D621, E123, E128, E218, E219, E522, E523, E620, E621, E707, E708, E711, E712

In certain cabins, if you use the upper bed or sofa bed, this will block your balcony doors. While your room steward will put away the bed each morning and set it up in the evening, this could still cause an annoyance if you like to step out onto the balcony when you first wake up.

These cabins will be fine for two people, but families should avoid them as there are plenty of other cabins that don’t have this issue.

5. Cabins that could make seasickness worse

S101 to S215, L101 to L129

If you’re prone to seasickness, you’ll want to avoid any cabins that are on high decks towards the front of the ship, as that’s where you’ll feel the most movement. Instead, opt for mid-ship cabins on a low deck.

6. Cabins that are a long walk from anything

S101 to S115, L101 to L129, M101 to M131, R101 to R108, A101 to A129, B101 to B133, C101 to C139, D101 to D151, E101 to E130

If you struggle to walk long distances, then you should choose a mid-ship cabin that’s not too far from the elevators.

Many of the attractions on Sky Princess are at the back of the ship, including the kids’ club, buffet, main dining rooms and Vista Lounge. So if you pick a cabin right at the front, you may have some way to walk.

High and low decks don’t matter so much, as either way you’ll probably take the lift, but it can take at least ten minutes to walk from the front of the ship to the back.

7. Cabins that may be noisy in the morning

S114 to S221, M310 to M421, M701 to M725

If you like to sleep in late, its generally wise to avoid booking cruise cabins that are beneath any open deck space such as beneath the Sky Deck, Sun Deck or Lido Deck . This is because you may be disturbed in the early morning by the sound of sun loungers and deck chairs being dragged across the floor above your head.

8. Cabins that may be noisy in the evening

E123, E125, E128 to E227

If you like to go to bed early, you may wish to avoid booking a cabin that’s directly above the theatre. On Princess Cruises, shows can go on until 11 pm and you may be able to hear some noise from the speakers until this time.

9. Cabins outside the laundry rooms

M622, M623, R611, R612, A622, A631, B622, B623, C622, C623, D622, D623, E622, E623

You may wish to avoid cabins that are directly across from the self-service laundry. Particularly on longer cruises, this area may be busy with people coming and going to wash their clothes.

10. Cabins with inter-connecting doors

As with any cruise ship, you should avoid booking a cabin that has connecting doors to another cabin, unless you have both cabins. This is partly because the door may not be as soundproof as a wall, so you may hear your next-door neighbours. But another reason is that a family may need these cabins, so you should look for one without the extra doors if you can.

11. Balconies with no privacy

D145 to D277, D701 to D725

On Deck 9 (Dolphin Deck) some staterooms have double-size balconies. While this can certainly be seen as a positive, it’s important to note that these balconies are overlooked by the balconies above.

The reason why these Deluxe Balconies are so large is that they jut out further than all of the rest. So, while you might enjoy the extra space, anyone above you looking down will see right onto your balcony. There’s no privacy unless you stand right at the back.

Here’s the view that anyone looking down from the deck above will see…

12. Another noisy cabin

One cruiser commented: “I am in Sky Princess L302 and recommend that you put this on your cabins to avoid list. The noise from carts running over the threshold out to the deck is really loud and shaking the room. Too bad, the cabin is otherwise perfect.”

This is one to avoid, and I would expect that L301 would also have the same problem. They do both have nice big balconies though!

Cabins that seem dodgy but are actually okay…

1. cabins below the seawalk.

Princess Cruises’ Royal Class ships feature the SeaWalk – a 60-foot long glass walkway that’s cantilevered 28 feet beyond the edge of the ship. On Royal Princess , Regal Princess and Majestic Princess , savvy cruisers avoid booking cabins beneath the SeaWalk as people on the walkway can see right down onto the balconies.

If you’ve booked a cabin beneath the SeaWalk on Sky Princess, there’s really no need to worry…

On Sky Princess, the SeaWalk design has been changed to include a solid section, so that the privacy of people on balconies below is no longer an issue. You do not need to avoid booking cabins beneath the SeaWalk on Sky Princess.

2. Cabins with hinged balcony doors

A few balcony cabins on Princess ships have hinged balcony doors, rather than sliding. I wouldn’t say that you should necessarily avoid those, but it may be something to be aware of.

When you select your cabin on the Sky Princess deck plan , a warning will come up to alert you to things like this. If you’re concerned, you can pick another cabin, but I wouldn’t say this is a deal-breaker.

1. The best suite on Sky Princess

If you just want the very best room on the ship, then the Sky Suites are simple incredible! Take a look at this video for a closer look at what you can expect from a Sky Suite on Sky Princess…

2. The best balcony rooms on Sky Princess

There are some huge variations in balcony size with the cabins on Sky Princess. Oftentimes, a cabin with a large balcony will be or Deluxe or Premium Deluxe room, so you’ll pay more for it.

However, there are some cabins that have much larger balconies than others in the same grade. Look out for these as they offer incredible value for money – you get extra space without the extra charge!

These Sky Princess balcony cabin offer the most space for your money:

• Standard Balconies: L301, L302, D226, D227, D701 to D710, E112, E114, E118
• Deluxe Balconies: E111, E115, E117
• Premium Deluxe Balconies: R732 to R735, B736 to B739
• Mini-Suites: M407 to M410, M422, M423, M426, M427, R409, R410, R414, R415, R428, R429, R432, R433, A409, A410, A414, A415, A428, A429, A432, A433, B409, B410, B414, B415, B428, B429, B432, B433, C409, C410, C428, C429, C432, C433, D407, D408, D410, D411, D424, D425, D428, D429

3. Cheap inside cabins for large families

Families of five or more who want to cruise as cheaply as possible on Sky Princess should look out for inside cabins with extra beds and interconnecting doors.

There are three pairs of inside cabins that would suit big families:

• C240 & C244 – Sleeps 6
• C241 & C245 – Sleeps 6
• C715 & C717 – Sleeps 8

Sky Princess is an excellent choice for a cruise holiday. She is a modern, premium ship with great restaurants and entertainment for the whole family. Cruise deals with Princess Cruises are often in the more affordable price bracket too.

Sky Princess is a relatively new ship, having joined the Princess Cruises fleet in 2019. She is not the newest ship in the fleet but she is considered the flagship, as she is slightly larger than the more recent Enchanted Princess ship.

There are 19 decks in total on Sky Princess, of which 15 are accessible to guests and eight are dedicated to cabins. The ship also has 16 elevators to allow guests to easily move between the decks.

Cabin grades on Princess Cruises are made up of two letters. The first refers to the stateroom type, and the second the location. BB means a Balcony stateroom situated in a desirable location, although the exact deck and position can still vary.

A premium balcony on a Princess Cruises ship is larger than a standard balcony. The stateroom itself is normally the same size, but the balcony area is larger. It may also be in a better location, such as the rear of the ship.

A Deluxe Balcony refers to the stateroom rather than the balcony itself. It means the cabin is larger and includes some of the same benefits as a mini-suite, including an upgraded duvet and extra bathroom amenities. The room also has a comfy sofa bed as well as the main bed.

Princess Cruises’ suites are much larger than standard rooms and have numerous benefits, including upgraded beds and balcony furniture and expanded bathrooms. Suite guests can enjoy priority boarding and dining reservations, as well as an improved room service menu.

The prices for a Princess Sky Suite vary depending on your cruise itinerary but, as a guide, expect to pay around $7,000 per person for a 7-night cruise. The per-night cost will normally be lower on longer itineraries.

Each stateroom on Sky Princess has its own refrigerator. You can also request a bucket of ice from your room steward if you wish.

On Sky Princess, there are US and European power outlets as well as some USB charging ports. You may wish to bring US and European adaptors, particularly if your electrical items have British plugs.

In your cabin bathroom on Sky Princess, you’ll find shampoo, conditioner and body lotion. However, you may prefer to bring your own.

Each cabin on Sky Princess comes with a hairdryer. You may bring your hair straighteners or curling iron as well.

I have booked E114 for our summer cruise after your recommendation! So excited!

Have a great cruise!

Hi Cruise Mummy. Love the articles. I am in Sky Princess L302 and recommend that you put this on your cabins to avoid list. The noise from carts running over the threshold out to the deck is really loud and shaking the room. Too bad, the cabin is otherwise perfect.

Thanks for letting me know and I’m sorry to hear you had a noisy room!

I am very afraid of heights will this be a problem on the ship?

Hi Brian. In that case, I’d suggest that you avoid a balcony cabin. The open decks are high yes, but it would be up to you whether you go up to the railing at the edge, you wouldn’t need to. Jenni

Excellent information. Very thorough

I just got upgraded to room E732 on sky princess, I am concerned it will be noisy because it is above a club

I’m looking at cabins S207 0r S211 which are very close to the Retreat Pool and the Bandstand on Deck 17. Would you know if there might be a noise issue?

Hi Jenni, I was so excited with my booking of m108 until reading all of the negative comments. Can you clarify as to we are not allowed on our balcony at all during sailing or only during certain weather conditions.

I am booked on a Sky Princess cruise in April 2023. Three adults are travelling in delux balcony stateroom R101 at the front of the ship. I am confused though. The size of the stateroom is marked as 303 ft (indeed both sides of the ship at this point are marked as being 303ft). This is a huge difference in size when I compare it with others in the same category in other parts of the ship, which are smaller. Why have we got so much more space or is it a typo on Princes website?

Hi Eve, I’ve checked this too and it looks like an error on the Princess Cruises website. The deck plans are usually to scale. So I would expect this to be the standard size but please do let us know if you arrive and find that it’s larger! Jenni

Hi I am booked in this cabin. R101 How was the cabin and space did u hve any issues in this cabin please let me know. Thanks

Hi Which side would you recommend so we are over looking each port when docked, we are looking at Sky Princess southern Caribbean with Barbados thanks Ash

Hi Ash, there’s no way of knowing which is best really – the ships can dock on either side I’m afraid. Jenni

Thank You for the detailed Sky Princes Cruise information. Can you recommend a specific stateroom, such as a Premium Balcony or a mini-suite that is at the very back of the ship with a balcony that have a view over the ship’s wake. I find when I cruise I tend to spend more time at the back of the ship watching the wake and thought best to stay in a room at the back.

Hi we’ve just been offered M219 orM215 mini suite on sky princess I’m not sure sure about these? Can you help please.

Hi Gordon. They’re next door to each other, so you’ll have the same experience with both of them. While they’re underneath the Lido deck, they’re more towards the front of the ship and have other cabins directly above them, as well as below, so they should be less noisy. The Mini Suites are a good size, and you aren’t too far from the lifts. I’d say they’re a good choice. Is there anything specifically you want to know, or that you want from your cabin?

Is there an issue with noise from the pool area in the luxurious Sky Suite? I noted that there is a bandstand below the suite. Very concerned about late night dance parties by the pool. Also, concerned about night time noise from movies in the pool area.

Hi Coleen, I’ve not noticed anyone complaining about the noise from the pool area in any of the groups and forums I’ve checked, and a couple of people have said they’ve stayed in the suites and had no problems with noise, including at night. Obviously, that’s not a promise, but it seems like it’s not much of an issue you’d need to worry about. Hope that helps!

Hi do the balcony rooms have a kettle? Thanks

Yes, on cruises from the UK.

I book for a cabin B334/IB Is this alright? Or I have to change Thank you for your kindest support.

What time is the entertainment? I was wondering about a good dinner time?

There will be at least two shows on per night so you can go before or after dinner.

I am going this weekend on the sky princess and wonder if they upgrade you if you are already in a suite to a larger suite if available

Hi Pam, yes that’s certainly a possibility. Enjoy your cruise! Jenni

Can you request a particular cabin in advance of a cruise or are they just allocated depending on what grade is allocated on booking?

Hi Mary. Yes, you can choose your exact cabin number if you wish. Jenni

Thank you …..we were upgraded to C101 so all research out the window! Not sure on the sloping wall though ?

Ideal, just been upgraded to R433 which looks like one of the cabins with more space due to the balcony shape!

Hi any opinions on the Vista cabins, best price for a suite so booked for 2, but can’t find any reviews on them , thanks

Hi Sam. I believe that people are struggling to find info on these as they used to be called Premium Suites or Penthouse Suites but the name was changed. I found some info here: https://boards.cruisecritic.co.uk/topic/2773800-vista-suites-on-sky-princess/ I hope this helps? Jenni

We are strongly considering springing for the Sky Suite sometime in 2022. However, I am a bit leery considering its location facing the Movies Under The Stars screen, and just above the main pool deck. Wouldn’t it be too noisy, especially at night?

Hi Tony. As this is the best suite on the ship, I can’t image it will have a problem with noise. I would expect any movies to finish before bedtime and the open decks are usually pretty quiet in the evening. Jenni

Hi. Are the upper beds comfortable for a 5ft 8 adult who has a sore hip? I believe the beds are too short for a 6ft person?

Hi Angela. They will be okay in length. However, you may be better with a sofa bed as you have to climb a ladder to get to the upper bed which may not be ideal with a sore hip. Jenni

Nice job, your not getting excited, are you 😉 Thanks for your efforts.

Sky Princess: What's the Mini-Suite really like and is it worth it? We look inside

Author: Harriet Mallinson

Published on: 25 October 2021

Updated on: 11 May 2022

Sky Princess is the newest cruise ship to join the Princess Cruises fleet. There are eight categories of cabins onboard - we checked out the Mini-Suites.

Sky Princess boasts a range of cabins from inside rooms to Sky Suites, ensuring there's something to meet everyone's budget and needs.

The Mini-Suite is the smallest of all the suites - and therefore the most affordable.

According to Princess Cruises , these cabins come with a balcony that is larger than a Balcony stateroom and receive a free welcome glass of bubbly.

Alongside the bedroom, there's a separate sitting area with a sofa bed and two flat-panel televisions.

So, is it worth it? World of Cruising's ambassadors Visit With Us headed onboard to check out the Mini-Suite for themselves. This is what they thought.

The Mini-Suites on Sky Princess are approximately 323 sq. ft, including the balcony, which "compares quite well to the standard suites found onboard the smaller ultra-luxury lines," according to Richard and Helen Chalu of Visit With Us.

Verandah Suites on Seabourn Encore and Silversea Muse are bigger but this is down to bigger balconies and bigger bathrooms which have a dedicated shower cubicle as well as a bath.

However, Sky Princess' Mini-Suite "doesn't feel any smaller" in comparison and is "very similar indeed in style and layout."

Compared to the standard balcony cabin, the Mini-Suites are "beautifully proportioned" and "worth the extra money" on longer voyages.

The Queen beds on Princess are "near-legendary" for how comfortable they are.

According to Visit with Us, the colours and fabrics used feel "rich and expensive" while the pillows make you feel "as though you're being cradled in the arms of an angel wearing a jacket of pure cloud."

The bedside tables are marble-topped but - a downside - there are no full-sized power sockets.

If you look closely, though, there's a USB socket built into the bedside lamp. While this is "very handy," the lamps themselves are fixed onto the surface "so they annoyingly impact the usable surface space," said Visit With Us - a wall-mounted light would perhaps work better.

One nice feature is the large recessed overhead lights and, if you look closely, Princess has concealed the air conditioning vents in there too, "making them all but invisible".

A chunky blackout curtain divider separates the living area from the bedroom "effectively making two rooms".

The former offers plenty of space to relax during the day. The sofa is a full three-person seater and can be converted into a bed. "It's the longest sofa I've seen in a suite this size," review Vist With Us.

The vanity unit is marble-topped and has plenty of room for your belongings. The mirror here is also "well-lit".

- READ MORE: How to pick the best cruise ship cabin -

In the drawers, you can find a fixed hairdryer and an empty hidden fridge which is actually "much more convenient and useful than one stocked up with stuff you'll never purchase."

Euro and US plug sockets are nicely spaced apart here "to make them more useable."

A benefit of the Mini-Suite is the two flat-screen televisions "so arguing over what to watch is easily solved" although, adds Visit With US, "who gets to watch with the volume up is another matter."

The dressing area is similar in size to an ordinary cabin but the robes are "ridiculously soft and comfy."

As for the bathroom, this is fully tiled and a nice size. However, the shower is in the bath (complete with a "dreaded clingy shower curtain") rather than its own glass cubicle which might annoy some cruisers. Fortunately, the showerhead is adjustable and the water pressure is "excellent."

The amenity kit is "handy" and soaps are from Lotus Spa.

Visit With Us were not impressed by the Mini Suite's balcony, labelling it "disappointingly shallow, claustrophobic and no bigger than a standard cabin's balcony." They had hoped there would be some more legroom given the Suite status.

Nevertheless, overall the ambassadors would "definitely" recommend a Mini-Suite - and they went on to book another cruise in the room so satisfied were they with the experience.
