Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Norwegian Sky

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...
