Sky Princess: 14 Nights in a Balcony Cabin from Florida to Southampton Starting at €1,015 pp in March

Sky Princess

On March 18, the quite new Sky Princess (launched in 2019) will depart from Fort Lauderdale and reach Southampton two weeks later. Princess Cruises is a premium cruise line, so getting a balcony cabin for only €1,015 per person is a great deal. Tips aren’t included, but also aren’t mandatory, so you can decide for yourself, how much you want to give.

You could save almost €300 per person by booking an inside cabin, though that probably doesn’t make much sense for such a long trip. What you may want to do, however, is to spend €100 more for a balcony cabin which doesn’t have an obstructed view. Either way, all meals are included, as are coffee, tea, water and iced tea in the buffet restaurant.

This is the cruise’s itinerary:

  • March 18: Fort Lauderdale (departs at 16:00)
  • March 19 – 25: At sea
  • March 26: Funchal, Madeira (9 hours)
  • March 27: At sea
  • March 28: Casablanca (13 hours)

The Ship

The Sky Princess is an elegant ship of Princess Cruises, with many modern features and contemporary entertainment that appeal to younger guests, unlike the other ships that have a more traditional vibe. Merely, the service is apparently not as great as on other Princess ships.

There are 10 free dining options on board: the three main dining rooms Soleil, Cielo, and Estrella, as well as World Fresh Marketplace, Salty Dog Grill, Slice Pizzeria, Swirls, Alfredo’s Pizzeria, International Cafe, as well as room service.

The 1,830 cabins on board are small but very comfortable, with highly-praised beds. The bedside lamps have built-in USB chargers, and the power sockets in the room are compatible with European and American chargers. The bathroom features a shower. Balcony cabins are roughly 20 square metres large.

Overall, the Sky Princess is a lovely modern cruise ship that offers first-rate dining and high-energy theatre entertainment, along with rather small cabins.

Flights to Florida

Various airlines fly to Florida, such as TAP, Air France, Delta, and United. Fort Lauderdale has its own airport, but you could also fly to other airports, such as Miami if the price is more attractive. One-way flights to the USA, however, are ridiculously expensive. A better option is to book a round trip and simply throw away your return ticket. That way, you could e.g. fly from Southampton to Fort Lauderdale for only €348 with Delta.

Here are our deals to Florida for March:

The only acceptable one-way price we could find was from Dublin to Miami in Air France’s premium economy for €851.
