Review for Norwegian Sky to Panama Canal & Central America

We chose this cruise to go through the locks and visit Panama which was not to be. It seems you have to book a land tour with NCL or else you are held hostage on the ship till it crosses back through the locks. The 2 plus hours of going through the locks is a great experience. It stops at port for 2 hours which does not allow you to visit Panama. This cruise was also reduced in price several ...

I chose this cruise because NCL is our favorite line. We like the style, amenities, food, service. After over 30 cruises on different lines we feel like NCL best suits us. That's why this is a difficult review to write. it's not all good. On past NCL cruises before the re-start i would have said that everything was perfect. This was our first NCL cruise since the re-start. Embarkation at ...

It was a nice cruise. Plenty of food. Freestyle dining is good. Entertainment activities were okay. Embarkation and Disembarkation were super fast. Unfortunately, couldn't tender at the Great Stirrup Cay due to weather conditions. Indian food were available on request but very limited options for vegetarians (like Dal (everyday), Roti, vegetable curry, papad, Poori bhaji for breakfast). But, ...

My wife and I took this as a "makeup" cruise for our 5 year anniversary, which was supposed to be a week aboard the Encore back in January. Unfortunately we got COVID three days before embarkation. Long story short, we were able to squeeze this shorter cruise aboard the Sky. We are first time cruisers, so keep in mind this review comes from someone who has not seen all the bells and whistles of ...

Staff was awful

First Time Cruiser • Age 20s

This was my first time cruising, and while the ship and destinations were beautiful. The customer service was severely lacking. Some staff were extremely nice, while the other 50% or more were unwilling to help clarify questions and assist me with issues that occurred when our shore excursion was cancelled as well as when the walkie talkies we brought onboard were confiscated when boarding. ...

Horrible Honeymoon

I have sailed with many other cruise lines and even NCL prior to this multiple times. The experience back then was a great experience. It appears to me that NCL has made some changes not for the good over time. The service was horrible, people unfriendly, no servers on the pool deck, hour waits to get a drink, embarkation was more than painful, etc. This was a complete waste of hard earned ...

Almost perfect but a missed port put a damper on things

First Time Cruiser • Age 40s

This was my first cruise and I really wanted to take my parents away for my mom's birthday. We were skeptical of how the trip would be since this is a small older ship. We were pleasantly surprised, the ship looks great with the renovations, the room was lovely and perfect for a short 5 day itinerary. We really enjoyed the food at the palace and crossings! We had the premium beverage package and ...

This is our 2nd NCL cruise and have been greatly satisfied with both cruises. Was looking to visit Key West on our own but when we saw this cruise went there, we booked this. The value for this trip is amazing. Embarkation and disembarkation went very smoothly. especially since you leave on a Friday and come back on a Wednesday avoiding the weekend traffic. The ship is a smaller ship but it is ...

My family and I were on the 5-day Caribbean cruise to Key West, Nassau, Great Stirrup Cay and Grand Bahamas travelling on the Norwegian Sky. We returned on January 29 of this year. I just wanted to share some of our overall impressions of this cruise. The day we boarded in Miami, the registration process was straightforward and because we arrived early, it didn’t take too long. We found out ...

5 Day cruise for my husband's 50th birthday. Thought we would try NCL because of the cost and dates we wanted to cruise. Itinerary wasn't a concern because we had to been to all the stops except NCL's private island. We have sailed on Carnival, RC, Princesses and Celebrity so we have experienced several different lines. Arrived at the port a hour later than boarding time and had no issues ...
