An overall decent winter getaway

Review for a Caribbean - Southern Cruise on Norwegian Sky

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Like the title says, overall this was a decent winter getaway. The ship was sold out which meant elevators were sometimes crowded, and the pool decks were almost always crowded but luckily not a huge amount of chair hogs. People were definitely camping out though. We booked this cruise and travelled with 3 other couples. All of us were booked in regular oceanview cabins (1 couple booked an ...

Chose this busy 14 day, 14 port cruise out of Dominican Republic for a great itinerary. We sailed this ship on our 1st ever cruise in 2003 when we still had kids. The ship is now the oldest NCL ship I believe and one of the smallest. We sailed out of La Romana after flying into Punta Cana on Superbowl weekend. The port: La Romana is a nice port with plenty to do. Unfortunately, the D.R. is ...

My girlfriend picked this cruise because it was over Christmas an be New Years. She normally uses another cruise line. I have been on other cruise an had better service. One of the things that got me is the cost of Internet service was way too much(I work in IT including satellite service.they are charging over 100% over the cost.I have checked with other cruise lines. There food was ok I was ...

Disappointing

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

This ship is in desperate need of some maintenance and an upgrade. Very dated and a lot of things not working. Several people claimed of no working toilets. My lights in room weren’t working. The safe in room had a dead battery and never fixed. Dining was painful unless you were not using the free options. For the first 5 days lunch was identical and evening dinning was recycled lunch with a ...

NCL needs to Retire this Ship

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

On the small side of NCL ships and while everything was clean and updated the age and size of the ship had it's own challenges. Spaces were smaller than normal NCL ships with fewer food options. The buffet proved to be a little challenging with how small and lack of options. If you get seasick this ship is NOT a good one. Alot of rocking (storms we encountered made it really bad). Layout ...

A downgrade from NCL's larger ships

We chose the cruise based upon the itinerary and the length of the cruise. We knew that some of the options would be limited. Having less people made it more relaxing and easier to get around, up and down throughout the ship. The glass elevators were elegant and fun. The buffet was much more limited than other NCL ships. The aft deck is recommended for buffet dining, as the indoor dining area ...

NCL you can do better

10+ Cruises • Age 50s

First, I want to say that I chose this ship because of the 6 ports so going into it I knew the age/size of the ship and what not to expect ie lots of shows, big rooms etc. But traveling on NCL just 6 months prior and having a great experience i thought that customer service and detail would be of importance to NCL regardless of cost. The staff were rude, poor communication between staff and guest ...

We were on the Sky in Juli 2023 on the Dominican Republic & Antigua cruise. This was the third time on this ship (2012, 2016) and we found her in good condition, better than anticipated after reading reviews. The ship was clean and looked nice. There were a few maintenance issues though. When in the elevators in the Atrium, you can see the wallpaper is peeling off the walls. This is an easy ...

Poorly laid out and in need of a refurb

2-5 Cruises • Age 50s

We chose this cruise because we wanted a 10-day, and it fit our schedule. The Sky is poorly designed. You have to walk through the crowded buffet area to get to other parts of the ship. You have to walk through the serving area of the main dining room to get to Le Bistro. The wallpaper is peeling off the walls in the atrium. The balcony staterooms are not what is shown on the Norwegian ...

We sailed on the Norwegian Sky 8-Jun-23 to 18-Jun-23 to the Eastern Caribbean in a Veranda/Balcony stateroom (upgrade bid from ocean view), 9th deck located at end of hallway in front of the elevators so it could get could get noisy at times, typically later at night after some people had been drinking too much. Crew: We had a good captain who frequently communicated with the passengers ...
