Nice itinerary, horrible cabins, great staff in main dining, rude staff elsewhere

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

calleo7878
2-5 Cruises • Age 45s

We chose this cruise for the itinerary and price-we've never cruised on NCL until now. Our cabin is extremely noisy and uncomfortable!! Guest services offered us a smaller room after someone came and heard/experienced the noise in our cabin. We decided to take a ton of sleep medicine each night instead of moving rooms (the smaller room only sleeps 2 and we are a family of 3, so it would've been ...

NCL needs to Retire this Ship

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

10+ Cruises • Age 56s

On the small side of NCL ships and while everything was clean and updated the age and size of the ship had it's own challenges. Spaces were smaller than normal NCL ships with fewer food options. The buffet proved to be a little challenging with how small and lack of options. If you get seasick this ship is NOT a good one. Alot of rocking (storms we encountered made it really bad). Layout ...

Retire this Ship

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

Angie L.

Instead of refurbishing this ship, it needs to be retired. The advertised balcony room that we paid for is not what we got. We thought we would have a sliding door, with full glass. Ahhh no. It is a porthole and the heaviest door to push open and pull on. Be aware that every time you order room service, $9.95 is added to your bill. $20.00 per person, is automatically added to your bill ...

Only the food gets our high rating

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

10+ Cruises • Age 76s

It has been quite a while since we had cruised on NCL. We are Platinum level members so we know what to expect, at least that is what we thought. Pros: Food had good taste and generous portions. Even the buffet food was hot. Good variety of dishes in the buffet also. The beds were comfortable and bathroom linens thick and snowy white. Imelda in the buffet area was awesome and noticed ...

Don't hate on the smaller ships

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Sky

OnVacationAgain
2-5 Cruises • Age 52s

The Sky is a very "classic" cruise experience. The staff was excellent for our 9 day cruise. This ship has had a well-done face lift and should not be thought of as old. The only thing that may have seemed small was the buffet compared to those on much larger ships like the NCL Joy. I would love to take a cruise on the sister ship the Sun or Pearl after going on the Sky. The choice of ...

Not Impressed

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Sky

Benny R
10+ Cruises • Age 60s

We have sailed with NCL before, including a wonderfull Alaska Cruise on the Pearl. The Sky looks good from the aesthetic stand point, and eventhough is an older ship, the sice and public spaces were to our liking. The boarding process in Miami was spotless, and perhaps the best of all of our sailings. It is noticeable that NCL has donde a great job with the personel at their terminal, including ...

Much Better Than Expected

Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Sky

6-10 Cruises • Age 77s

My wife and I were prepared for the worst after reading a number of negative review on the site. However, we enjoyed the cruise and found the food quite good, the entertainment excellent, the accommodations and service above average. I will offer a few tips rather than a lengthy review. 1) Be sure to use the little wheel outside your door to tell the steward you would like your room made up. ...

9 day Caribbean (on the ship currently). Sold Dominican Republic, San Juan PR, St. Martin, Antigua, St. Thomas, great stirrup cay. Received, Dominican Republic, San Juan, St. Thomas.. diverted to Nassau for an overnight, then missed great stirrup cay.. yes it was due to weather, which I understand is not in anyone’s control. But I will not cruise with Norwegian again until they install a port at ...

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

Kim P. S.
10+ Cruises • Age 50s

The best part of cruise was the easy check in process but later learned it was because the ship was empty and sailed from Baltimore. Now for the bad, the food is absolutely terrible! The pizza only available for 3 hours each day (12pm-3pm) The buffet choices were few and slacking. The best meal we had was at Cagney's Steakhouse. Bill was $202 but luckily we had 2 free meals with cruise ...

A downgrade from NCL's larger ships

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

Frunchroom
10+ Cruises • Age 53s

We chose the cruise based upon the itinerary and the length of the cruise. We knew that some of the options would be limited. Having less people made it more relaxing and easier to get around, up and down throughout the ship. The glass elevators were elegant and fun. The buffet was much more limited than other NCL ships. The aft deck is recommended for buffet dining, as the indoor dining area ...
