Actually I was on the Sky in December with my husband and friends for the inaugural cruise and then the seven night western Caribbean directly after that. We were invited to the naming ceremony and it was very impressive. The ship is really beautiful. The soft blues, greys and creams were a welcome color palette. The new comfy furniture on the pool deck was terrific and there was always plenty of seating whether at sea or in port. The rooms were well done although the extra chair has been removed.
