I was "lucky" enough to sail on NCL Sky's inaugural cruise to the Bahamas. However, I soon discovered that lady luck was not on my side when we began encountering many problems. Read below to learn more about each aspect of our cruise:

Embarkation: Embarkation was quick but there was no separate check-in for balcony guests, a 2.0 enhancement. However, there was bubbly and someone did escort us and take our luggage to our room which was nice.

Room: We stayed in an aft balcony room #9276. Pretty standard room, nothing special except that our balcony was bigger than side balconies and our room has a curtain separating our bed from the sofa. However, this is where our troubles began: Our A/C was not working well and to make a long story short, it wasn't fixed until the 3rd day of the cruise. (We were given OBC to make up for it.) The bed was rather firm but pillows were plush. Not much in the way of storage space. 3 Drawers in the closet area as well as 2 robes. Two small nightstands on the side of the bed with reading lights that are positioned WAY too low and interfere with pillows. The TV was a standard 13" TV. The bathroom was very cozy, code for small but adequate. The carpet was rather dirty and really needed a good steam cleaning. By the way, I noticed a musty humid smell almost everywhere I went on the ship.

Cabin #9276 had a great balcony, quiet location and far from the crowds.
