I loved my inside cabin on Sky Princess. I had huge drawer space, and because the lamps were on the side tables, I had the staff remove one table and lamp and shove the bed over to the wall to give me more room. USBs in the lamps. I do wish there'd been doors on the closet, but it wasn't insurmountable. I liked the bathroom. Shower curtain wasn't a biggie. I liked the safety bars for rocky days at sea. The bed was so good, I actually fantasized sneaking it home!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

Look at the space btw the bed & the wall & Princess, in my opinion, wins hands down.

I can deal with the shower curtain but changing the shower would be a big improvement. After 35+ cruises on Princess I hope that I’m not bias. Great comparison & video.

Talking about bathrooms.... on 3:30m AND 10:45m of the MSC you can see that the "room" for the left knee while sitting on the toilet, you simply don't have room for it, so that the cruiser has to sit skewed towards the 1 o'clock. I would say 96% (or more) of people would not fit looking towards the front (as supposed to be). On the Princess bathroom, the cruiser can be the tallest man alive, and there is plenty of long-leg room to sit on toilet looking towards 12 o'clock. (This is a FAR more important point to a bathroom, so Princess "wins" ... "hands down". You didn't point it out (you probably don't know about this) but the 5" diameter bathroom dehumidifier is usually ALWAYS on the ceiling of the shower (for obvious reasons), The MSC didn't know the use of this dehumidifier so they didn't put it in the shower ceiling, they put it over the toilet ceiling, which most likely be sucking up toilet water (if the toilet cover is not closed). If/when cruiser washes things (or the wet bathing suit) I always put it as close to the dehumidifier as possible and close the shower curtain or enclosure..... AND the MSC Seascape put a silver square slimy "pull" in the glass enclosure, the problem being, if one's hands are wet (and god forbid soapy) you can't open the glass door.
