Review summary

The entire cruise was an excellent journey. Crew was fantastic, enjoyed the shows, ship very clean and well maintained. Captain kept us safe and very well informed on the happenings of Hurricane Matthew. I would sail this ship again in a heartbeat.

Good food. Presentation good

Onboard Activities

Very good. We stayed busy. Night activities had more to offer but that's just me. Stayed off the ship in every port.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Amazing service...can't say enough. Actually wrote a letter and presented it to Guest Services about how pleased we were.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Ship well maintained and very clean. A few spots on carpet on 9th deck but that's to be expected. Always saw crew busy working and cleaning

Cabin / Stateroom

Cabin was very nice, very comfortable. Found closer to be well suited except there was not enough drawer space. Loved the balcony, room steward was fantastic.

Ship tip

No tips to think of...just get on the ship and explore. Never had to wait long in any sort of line. Amazing service!

My only quibble with your analysis is the sad face for Great Stirrup when you didn't have the chance to experience it. Perhaps a plain face, the one with the straight-line lips is in order. Or maybe click on NO boxes for that one. If you want to see what you missed, check out my video. THAT'S a happy face--smiley.

Glad you had such a great time even with a change in itinerary. I know many people can get bent out of shape, but you kept positive and made the most of it.

If you've never sailed on Sky I highly recommend it. Would go again on this ship.
