On Sept 1-5, 2008 my wife, daughter and 3 other family members sailed on the NCL SkY out of Miami. ALthough we were scheduled to go to the Bahamas the ship was diverted to Cozumel and Key West because of Hanna. NCL called us the day before departure to let us know. I have been on RCCL, Princess, Carnival and NCL previously, and this was the shortest of my 9 cruises.
Embarkation/Disembarkation: Very easy, we parked at the port for $20 a day. Check in very fast and easy. Friendly.
Ship: Our last sailing was on the NCL freighter "Wind", so we really felt like we were on a cruise ship again being on the SKY. THe big atrium, layout, and design were appreciated. Clean.
