It had been 10 years since I had last sailed Norwegian and having just returned from sailing Celebrity and Disney, my expectations were not all that high. Added to it, the reviews of the Sky weren't really mind blowing. But if I sail again on a simple 4 night itinerary to the Bahamas, I'm choosing Norwegian (and yes, I've sailed Carnival and Royal Carribean....and am generally a fan of the latter).
The embarkation was quick, about 10 min., and my stateroom was immediately available. Lunch at the buffet was packed, but it always is.
I had an outside cabin with a porthole and though a little small, it was well apppointed and comfortable. The mattress was a little firm, but that suits me fine. The bathroom did not have ammenities...just soap and shampoo in dispensers by the sink and in the shower. The room steward was very friendly and did a nice job throughout the week.
