My sister and I were looking for a reasonable weekend getaway and we sure found it aboard the NCL Sky! I normally cruise with my husband out of NYC or Boston and have never been on a 3 night cruise so this was a first for me. We took a chance and flew into Miami the same day. We arrived at 11:50 from Hartford CT into Miami International. Listening to the advice from this forum, we only had carryon luggage so we grabbed our bags and walked right outside to grab a cab. It is a flat fee of $27 from the airport to the cruise terminal so we knew what to expect. A short 20 minutes or so later we were there! We were handed an itinerary change as we walked up the ramp - due to Hurricane Joaquin we were going to miss Great Stirrup Cay and would spend a day at sea instead. Nassau was changed from Saturday to Sunday. We totally understood and I love sea days anyway so it was all good.

We were onboard and eating lunch in Crossings by 1:30. Crossings was almost empty! Great place for a nice quiet lunch after traveling since 4:30AM! After lunch we went to our cabin which was just what I expected, a teeny tiny inside cabin but it was fine. We had booked an inside guarantee, after all it was just for 3 nights and we were all about economy. We unpacked and headed out to explore the ship. The last ship I was on was the Breakaway in March so this ship was very small in comparison but I loved it. Easy to navigate, spotless and nicely decorated. The crew was awesome! Always happy, smiling.

The welcome aboard show was very poorly attended by the passengers which was their loss because it was great! The introduction of the officers was the most unique intro I've ever seen! Very funny! The singers were good but the comedian that night was absolutely hysterical...loved his act! I haven't laughed that hard in years! So after being up since 3:45AM we were still wide awake and had a great first day. Hit the bed after midnight.
