We enjoyed what was our second cruise aboard Sky Princess. We liked the variety of destinations, a good mix of cities and small settlements. The food and variety was excellent, something for everyone to enjoy. I have had to rate the excursions, but the truth was that we did not go on any ship excursions so that is why I have rated "average".
