This is my full Sky Princess Embarkation Day video for 2025, filmed as we set sail from Southampton. If you’re cruising on Sky Princess soon, this guide shows exactly what happens on embarkation day — from parking and check-in to lunch, the muster drill, and my first impressions of the ship. I’ve cruised with Princess Cruises. Royal Caribbean, Marella and P&O Cruises, and in this video you’ll see how Princess handles embarkation day in 2025 — including the Medallion system, OceanNow app, and what to expect when boarding at Southampton’s Ocean Terminal. I’ll also show our accessible cabin D418, embarkation lunch in the Estrella Main Dining Room, and the indoor sailaway party in the Piazza. If you’ve cruised with P&O Cruises before and you’re curious how Princess compares, watch my P&O vs Princess Cruises comparison next. https://youtu.be/sXAZ4YZANHE 🎬 More videos in my Princess Cruises series: • Regal Princess Full Ship Tour https://youtu.be/J9vIon_y0Po • Regal Princess Dining Review https://youtu.be/J9vIon_y0Po About Me I’ve travelled to over seventy countries and sailed with Princess, P&O, Royal Caribbean, and more, And I share honest, solo-friendly cruise tips every week. https://www.youtube.com/@solotravel1974?sub_confirmation=1 #skyprincess #PrincessCruises #embarkationday Chapters 00:00 - Boarding Sky Princess – What Embarkation Day Is Really Like 00:22 - Independence of the Seas 2025 - Embarkation Day & First Impressions 00:53 - Boarding Sky Princess at Southampton 02:04 - Medallion Pick-Up 02:35 - Sky Princess First Impressions 03:59 - Lotus Spa Tour 04:28 - Embarkation Day Lunch 05:23 - Accessible Cabin D418 06:08 - First Tests of the OceanNow App 06:31 - Full Muster Drill 06:56 - Sailaway from Southampton 07:36 - CIELO MAIN DINING ROOM 07:58 - Final Thoughts & What’s Next
