Review summary

My wife and I had our first cruise on the Norwegian Sky.  It was a very enjoyable experience, which we would do again.  I was surprised at how well organized and simple was the process for embarking and disembarking and boarding during stops.  Our stateroom was very comfortable and our steward very friendly and helpful.  While there were numerous activities on board, our goal was to relax, which we did.  We found booking tours of our ports through the excursion desk to be helpful, easy and worth the cost. The tours of Freeport and Nassau were very interesting.  The highlight of our cruise was the Ultimate Dining Package.  Each night were enjoyed a truly outstanding meal in a very beautiful setting.  We also enjoyed the private beach at Stirrup Cay.  A totally enjoyable experience.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
very nice and easy to navigate to lounges, bars, dining areas. The Sky did not have WiFi for the iConcierge program, which would have been nice.

Ship tip

Pre-book your excursions to ensure that there is space available. If you want to use the on board pool, get there early in the day or later in the evening.
