Southern Caribbean Norwegian Sky Southern Caribbean Cruise Reviews

Took this cruise because of the itinerary, 14 days and 14 ports. Was a bit disappointed as 2 ports were changed. However from when I reached the NCL Hotel to getting back to Santo Domingo Airport I was not disappointed. Every one from guests to crew were very friendly. Hotel: Falcon Suites, only stayed for 6 hours, what a luxury. No information given by NCL about pick up time to port had to ...

This is a new cruise that Norwegian is testing. Starts in Dominica Republic, goes to 14 islands in 14 days, southern swinging up eastern back to Dominica Republic. It’s on the Norwegian Sky. Older, smaller ship but refurbished a few years ago. Because it’s a smaller ship, able to get into smaller islands. Only one tender to a private island. Lots of beaches, lots of cultural experiences and some ...

Before I left I read the reviews. The reviews were awful. How the food was horrible. How everything was just horrible. 2 out of 5 stars. I thought oh my what did I do booking this cruise. I went in with low expectations. At the very start of the cruise I noticed the service. It was excellent. Our Room steward was great. He worked so hard. Bar staff always ready and waiting to take ...

The ship is older, but according to their site it was refurbished in recent years. While the ship is clean and orderly... there definitely are areas that need attention. The inner cabin staterooms are decent for two people at best. The bathrooms are small and the curtains smell terrible. The self serve food offerings are vast, but mediocre. There are three a la carte restaurants (additional ...

We are regular NCL cruisers. We had a credit from a cruise in January that had to be used before the end of January 2024. This 10 day cruise sounded perfect for us. We were celebrating our Golden Wedding anniversary a little early to take advantage of the credit. It was meant to be special. Firstly let me say I loved the layout of the cabin and the huge balcony. I also loved all but one of the ...

The Good: The Garden Cafe has real ice cream with a variety of toppings and Nutella crepes every day. There is also soft serve nearby. There are many elevators and can easily and quickly accommodate a full ship of people. The service has been great overall. We booked 4 snorkel excursions and 1 beach escape through NCL and loved all of them! Aside from the very popular bar by the ...

We have been on 5 prior cruises with Carnival. This was our first time with Norwegian. The biggest difference between Carnival and this NCL Sky was the quality of the food and the age of the passengers. Carnival seemed to have a younger crowd, while NCL seemed to have older families and a handful of children. In our opinion, NCL's food was higher quality and we did not tire of the choices. The Sky ...

First let me say that it's been 3 1/2 years (b4 COVID) since we last cruised. We had a cruise scheduled in Jan 2022 (out of New Orleans) but NCL cancelled it a few days before we were scheduled to go. So this cruise was almost like going for the first time. We chose the Sky because of its size. The previous 8 cruises we took were all on mega ships (Encore, Joy, Bliss, Epic). Although the mega ...

EMBARCATION - Very efficient. We were scheduled for 10:30 - 11:00 AM and arrived on time. Went upstairs and there were at least 20 clerks to check us in. There was only 1 person in front of us. We then waited in the big room for our group to be called. The PA system wasn't very clear where we were sitting until they started calling the group numbers. It was about 30 minutes after check in ...

My husband and I cruised on the Norwegian Sky. The ports of call were exceptional. The two excursions we booked with NCL were adequate as well. If you're looking for excursions that involve snorkeling and kayaking as we did then I guess it's best to use the "excursion" desk. However if you have researched where you would like to sightsee on an island then getting off the ship and hailing a taxi ...
