Review for a Bahamas Cruise on Norwegian Sky

So, first time on NCL. It’s a booze cruise. I’m a regular on royal, and I like that line. Criticism: Nickle and Dimed, water in bottle:not included, coffee (specialty) not included, so it’s different than I’m used to. The lines for a drink are long and served in a small plastic cup, interesting. Rooms with balcony are really small! Balcony chairs no where to put feet up. You get a room ...

This was my first cruise, it was chosen by a friend. We had a great time. The food was amazing, the variety of entertainment was impressive and the staff was pleasant & eager to please. The only disappointment was the disorganized process of leaving the ship for excursions and at the end of the cruise. A few people missed their excursions at our first port due to the excessive lines of people ...

We cruised the Gem a few years ago and it was not a good experience. We thought we'd try again and it wasn't much better. We normally cruise RCL and definitely will again but I'm not so sure about NCL. The biggest problem was disembarking, it was awful. There was almost no communication regarding the process and there was a lot of confusion while trying to get off the ship. The food wasn't as ...

My family invited me on this cruise as a birthday celebration and it was a fantastic experience for the entire family. Lots of fun activities, great food and friendly staff. Our kids enjoyed the many amenities and we never had to worry about them becoming bored. I usually do get seasick which was a concern for me, however I barely felt any movements. The on-board entertainment was excellent. The ...

embarkation/disembarkation took a long time. disembarkation took almost 3 hours. had to wait around in a bar sitting on the floor with nothing for the kids to do. we have a special needs child so this was really hard. the kids' club (teenagers) had a really rude coordinator so my son stopped going after the first night. the other kids' club took a long time to sign kids in. had to wait 20 ...

My friend Mary booked for her husband and 2 boys and then her husband couldn't go and since I had never been on a cruise before and she was hoping to make some money back, she asked me. All went well. I am going again with my mom and two sisters May 1 on the Norwegian Dawn, embarking from Miami. I will bring my own kids someday when they are older and more independent. I am NOT a winter ...

My husband and I really enjoy this cruise. This a must if you are looking to party in the sea! There was not a dull moment in this ship, the staff (bartenders) are not as friendly because everyone got open bar but a few dollar tip take you a long way. We stay in a balcony room it was spacious and amazing. I would not recommend this itinerary if traveling with children, this more like a party ...

My husband and I area living in New York, then we decided to take this ship + Caribbean route. We are in mid-40-50 and most of the cruisers were much older, few youngers. Embarkation & Desembarkation (New York port): We have been cruising with other cruise lines (Royal, Celebrity and Carnival. First with NCL and probable the last. The embarkation and disembarkation are very ...

We picked this cruise as we wanted to spend time in New York prior to cruising the Caribbean. The food in the restaurants wasn’t to the same standard as Pand O cruises. An error had been made when we were being charged for drinks when we had premium drinks package, staff at shops reception were very unhelpful and most had trouble understanding English, we had to phone from the ship to eventually ...
