This was our third cruise on Norwegian, second on Sky. We have also cruised on Breakaway and several Royal Caribbean ships, including Anthem of the Seas. This short cruise to the Bahamas was very good overall. We were determined to not spend the extra cash in the pay extra dinning, so we had all our dinners in the Palace and Crossings dinning rooms. We are happy to say that both were surprisingly ...
I have been on a lot of vacations that are all inclusive. The Norwegian Sky was truly all inclusive. All the liquor was top shelf and the accessibility to all bars was great. The service was fabulous. They made you feel you were paying $15 a cocktail just by the way they presented it. The food was delicious as well and the cruise directors did a fantastic job with making you feel as if there is no ...
I chose the sky for several reasons. We were taking the kids so I wanted fewer sail days and more excursion days. Also they off Butlers if you stay in the Suites! Let me say we have never stayed in a suite so I cannot compare it to other cruises.... however 9002 penthouse suite with large balcony was AWESOME!! We had a private butler who never woke us up, but always knew when we woke up. He always ...
This was my first cruise so I had no clue what to expect. I went on it totally surprised and never looked up the ship beforehand. I knew water slides, and crazy stuff were on ships but I didn't know the one I'd be going on didn't have that.
The ship was a bit old, and outdated but was fine. The pool deck was constantly crowded, which made it not enjoyable to hangout there. I was with 4 other ...
We are a family of 3 -- adults in our 40s and our 8 year old son. This was our family's first cruise and my first cruise in a very long time. We always take a family mini vacation at this time of year, usually traveling to a resort in Florida. We are avid travelers and like to mix up our vacation experiences -- from camping in a tent, to enjoying a 5 star resort, to activity packed theme parks, ...
I wondered how the service would be considering this cruise was an "all-inclusive" bar. Well, I was extremely impressed with the service, accessibility and general relaxed feel on this cruise. What a refreshing experience to open my checkout letter a few hours before disembarking and see such a small bill! :) I don't drink that much, but it was a nice perk to never have to deal with paying for ...
The cruise was really nice. We had a great time. The open bar is prefect to have drinks all the time. We hung out in the pool every afternoon and the wait staff would keep coming to fill our orders. Since the drinks are included certain common drinks are premade. Bahama Mamas are premade and my wife found a good tip is to get a shot along with it.
The food was good in the main dining rooms. We ...
This was a family birthday celebration. The cruise went well. Beautiful weather. No motion sickness or Rocky boat feeling. The Norwegian Sky is a nice ship. Dining was mediocre to me. The buffet had plenty of selection of foods, but were quite tasteless most of the time. I enjoyed my omelet. I was able to pick my own food to go in it. The Restaurants: The Palace- mostly plain, not hot food. It ...
After reading the reviews of this ship I was a little nervous about this trip. I was expecting a lot of rowdy drunk people and an old worn out ship. I was pleasently surprised. This was one of the best cruises my wife and I have gone on. Our room was the perfect size. We had a balcony with chairs. Dinning was great you didn't have to worry what time you wanted to go. It was just like going out to ...
We normally cruise on Royal Caribbean but could not find a cruise that fit our limited time window. The NCL Sky fit the window and being all inclusive was a bonus. We did not care about what ports were visited, we just wanted a relaxing get-away.
The cruise overall was good. Embarkation was a breeze. Debarkation - Not so great! I'll touch on that later.
We were early, based on our ...
