This was my first cruise experience and, it will be my last. I booked as part of a group celebrating a couple's 10 year wedding anniversary. While checking in at the port, all the staff were so friendly, happy and welcoming. Unfortunately, this was not a reflection of what I would find on the ship. While some of the servers were great, a vast many were downright rude.
On the first day at ...
We didn’t know what to expect as this was our first Norwegian Cruise! The boarding was seamless and very good after that it was total confusion, handed a map of the ship and told to go to deck 15 buffet! We purchased an interior room with the drink package including gratuity. The room was not cleaned when we arrived there was toothpaste, toothbrushes, disposable razors, tissue paper and bathroom ...
We were on the November 30, 2019 Breakaway Sail. As you will see from our cruise history, we are Platinum Plus and have sailed many times including several sails in a suite/the Haven. Most of our sails have been reviewed on here.
This sail was also a Haven sail. As such, the majority of the review focuses on the Haven.
We had several issues this cruise most of which were resolved on ...
Chose this cruise because it suited our dates and we were able to get a cabin in The Haven.
We are not fans of large ships but since we got into Haven which is a smallish enclave with its own facilities we thought to give it a try. We only left the boat once in Tortola and remained on board during the sea days - very quiet and relaxing. Because we were not on decks 15-16 where the Haven is ...
We just got back from a cruise on the Norwegian sky. It was very disappointing. Our first cruise with NCL and will be our last.
To be transparent we just had gotten off Royal Caribbean’s Navigator of the seas. We did a 4 night cruise then after getting into port of Miami we jumped on the sky with my folks. Thought it would be a good opportunity to compare cruise lines. The two ships are not ...
I was so excited to go on the Thanksgiving cruise on the Sky with my dad, his wife, and my three kids.
CHECK IN
Check in took a while, but it wasn't a crazy excessive amount of time... we were just really hungry so would have appreciated food and drinks. I told the staff at check in that our rooms were on different floors, but of course they weren't able to help. We boarded on floor 6, ...
I would not recommend anyone this ship. Total waste of money and time. Here are the bullet points. I would recommend Carnival anytime.
- showers in the room are piece of junk. Too hot or too cold
- service staff rude and not compassionate at all.
- horrible dining experience. Takes 3 hours at the minimum.
- if you ask for anything, guaranteed you have to wait atleast 30 mins
- ...
Went on this 4 night Thanksgiving cruise with my girlfriend. It was booked pretty much last minute so we could only get an inside cabin, which is fine.
Overall, it was a fun Thanksgiving cruise. The food selection wasn't stellar- I felt like it could have been more quality food served. Why are the appetizers so small? There were a few incidents where they cooks had the wrong signs for food- I ...
The perks of the suite are totally worth it.....This was our 5th cruise, 4th with children. I must say the Norwegian Sky isn't really set up to keep a tween & teenager occupied so skip it if that's your situation, probably not the right cruise for you. Overlooking that, it's a great way to do a short cruise. We've done 2 Disney cruises and our kids never got in to the whole Disney thing which ...
We stayed in Newark at Springhill suites. Very nice place to stay. We used a car service to go to the port. Embarkation was delayed but went smoothly. The ship had illness before us so had to be deep cleaned. First three days they served you in the Garden cafeteria so was a little hectic. Ship is beautiful. I stayed in the solo cabins which are wonderful!!! The main shows were very good. The rest ...
