This is part deux of our b2b on Sky to the Bahamas.

Embarkation: After clearing customs as 'in transit' passengers, we walked over to the entrance and were placed first in line. After a 45 minute wait (not sure why), we were let in 1/2 hour after the doors would normally open. We were directed upstairs immediately and within 10 minutes we were back on the ship. Although we weren't supposed to go to our cabin we did anyway to make sure all of our luggage had been transferred. True to their words our previous Butler and Cabin Stewards had delivered everything. With that we were off to the bar to have a sail away drink early, followed by lunch in the buffet. Once we were able to get to our cabin we unpacked and settled in for sail away.

The ship: Sky is a beauty! Her colors are fabulous without being garish. With all the Hawaiian decor it seemed weird that there is no Asian restaurant aboard. I hope her dry dock refurbishment might include this. Too many bars...need some small venue eats. The porthole style and teak decks hark back to the days of the Queen Mary. Read more
