We chose Norwegian primarily because of their partnership with RCI. We later felt validated in the choice because of their partnership with Total Rewards, a Casino rewards program from Caesars.
This was our first cruise. At first sight, we thought, wow this is a big boat, but later we passed ships that dwarfed us in size and features. What the Sky lacks in size it makes up for in quaintness of staff. We felt like we were traveling with a big eclectic family that just wanted us to have a good time.
We dined at Cagney's twice, Le Bistro and Il Adagio. The french fair didn't do much for me but I found the other options great. I was very happy with our decision to do Cagney's twice.
Our excursion was cancelled because of excessive wind.
We ventured out into the shops. It was crowded but fun. We got a couple souvenirs and some rum cake. Spent the majority of the time on the boat relaxing.
Miami is a fun city. South Beach in particular. If you like to drink and eat, it's easy to spend a lot of time and money there.
