For our first cruise was really good choice. Although rerouting from Cuba to Bahamas was disappointing (obv not NCL fault). Food in all restaurants we went to was very good, service was great across the board. Balcony room was tight, but we knew that going in. Embarkation was a breeze, even with seemingly hundreds in front of us. Disembarkation was a little confused, they weren't letting ...
We left for our cruise about four days after the executive order that trips to Cuba are no longer allowed. NCL took a while to announce what our new itinerary would be and what our discounts would be, but we were very pleased with the information when it was announced.
We were originally supposed to do Cuba overnight, a day at sea, then Great Stirrup Cay. They replaced the Cuba days with ...
Everyone talks about how awesome cruises are. On Norwegian I had just the opposite experience. To start I was pleasantly surprised by the quickness of boarding the ship that was awesome. In heading to my room on the 10th floor upon opening the elevator I was startled by the smell of raw sewage. To be honest if I wanted to smell raw sewage I’ll go get a job at the local water treatment plant. ...
Good rates we felt, only bad thing was lack of food variety sometimes and I wish they would have more staff come up to you to talk about things you can do on the ship. Bahamas unfortunately we were unable to disembark on that day, so that was the bad part. Wish there was more pools on board, but overall very nice boat. The rooms were very clean and though they were compact we thought it met all ...
Chose this cruise because it was our first time cruising and wanted to see if we liked it. The overall ship experience was better than I thought. Lineups to board/off board were well managed. Lineups for food or drinks were also very limited. They had a good staff ratio.
Our interior room was also very nice. Plenty of room. It was on 10th floor, good location to get to dining & pool area. ...
Cruised with a group of 7, ages from 50 to 95! My mother in law uses a cane and wheelchair to get around the ship. She never really has a problem getting around. Stayed in room 8207 with a large window looking out. Beds were together to form one large bed, bigger than a queen, smaller than a king. Bed was under the window which left most of the room open, except for the bedsides. Plenty of shelves ...
Norwegian Sky needs more renovation. Cabin was in sad shape. Food had little taste. Buffet was mass quantity of the same food every day. Cuba needs to be seen on a misson not on a tour bus. Tour operator knew the party line, however, the 6 hr. tour is a waste to spend an hour at a cigar/rum store, 2.5+ hours at lunch (waiting for other buses to show up) with bland food and no talent dancers, and ...
Wife and I have been on 10 or 15 NCL cruises and we liked them all except this one. Food was not up to par. The shows were poor. The cruise director was poor but the assistant cruise director was excellent. The piano bars were very good. Cabin was small but OK. Room Stewart was terrible. He never vacuumed the carpet for the entire four day cruise.
The waiters were very good. NCL never ...
This one was the only one that we could find that spent an overnight in Cuba. We also liked that it was a short trip because it was my and my sister's first cruise experience. They had numerous promotions at the time that we booked, which made our experience even better - especially the specialty dining promotion that my husband and I used to celebrate our anniversary. The cabin was larger than I ...
I chose this Cruise because I needed Four Points to achieve Platinum Status. This Cruise went to Cuba.
I was on the Breakaway one day before I boarded the sky. The Breakaway put a hold on a lot of money, boarding the sky, the money was still under a hold. I could not spend any money on the sky. Guest Services was not helpful, they refused to ask NCL corporate to send a settlement statement to ...
