The trip was so disappointing.
This was our 12th cruise and the first for Norwegian. It will also be our last.
The ship was so small. The cabins were so small. They virtually had no storage. The food was subpar. There were a few items at dinner that were amazing but overall it was nothing to write home about. Even the variety of food was disappointing.
We have cruised several ...
The Sky is an old ship. We knew this but NCL claimed their upgrade in 2022 was great. Not.
Pros: Crew, all great, esp. 'Yogi' the butler and 'Huberth', concierge. Layout of the cabin (not the location, aft penthouse suite- above the show theater. Production shows were spectacular, all of them. Cagney's steakhouse was superb.
Cons: Just feels old, wall paper in spots peeling through out ...
I chose this cruise because I was traveling solo. they had a great deal on booking a solo room. it was not expensive, and it's the least expensive solo Rate that I have seen to this date. I am hoping that other cruise lines would follow suit and offer the same Without the huge price tag to make up for a second In a room. I never got bored on the ship. there were lots of entertainment activities to ...
So I ended up on this cruise because my previous European cruise through another cruise line was cancelled due to the war in Israel. So, I still wanted to get the heck outta dodge so booked this NCL cruise. Reviews stated that this ship was refurbished in 2019. Well, if this is the case then NCL should get their money back. Allow me to back up a bit. Yes, I know this is a smaller ship, that ...
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 ...
Rooms were always cold. Had to get towels from pool area to sleep warm. Lights blink for 30-40 seconds needs updated. Back doors did not work on ship. Ceiling dropped water on you and food and workers mopped over your head while you ate. Damaged hallway storage door with metal sticking out about 2 inches. danger for passengers. Glass elevator shafts had peeling wall paper and filth on the edges. ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
