The last time I cruised on Sky was in 2010, and in four years there have been some changes--some for the good, some less so. Here's my honest take on what I still believe is the best weekend getaway or intro to cruising trip currently available, warts and all.

This was a hastily planned, last-minute I-need-a-vacation-now cruise. I had just taken my severance from my last job and decided it was time to celebrate moving on. My wife and I hadn't had a proper vacation since we were married in Jamaica over a year ago.

We flew from DFW to FLL via Spirit Air and made it on-time (surprise!). Transportation to POM was via MJS transportation and for $13 pp, was comfortable, quick and Jeremy was a great driver/guide. Embarkation at POM was typical NCL efficient, meaning you were ten minutes from walking in the terminal to walking across the gangway.

Cabin Review

Our stateroom (10208) was a forward balcony, and I could get picky about the condition of some items, specifically the picture frame that was marred and chipped, the lampshades over the bed lamps that were stained and cracked (from being hit by so many passengers heads, I imagine--given their absurd location), and the overall "lived in" feel. But I won't. The room was still quite comfortable and there really are no bad balcony staterooms! The location, right off the forward elevators, was extremely convenient and wasn't noisy at all.
