Review summary

We really liked the Norwegian Sky, mostly because of the Aft facing Balcony room. The food was great, the open dining and all inclusive is the only way to go. The only complaint is the altered schedule because of hurricane Mathew. I really think that if we book a cruise to the Bahamas, going to Key West is a big let down. This was our second cruise ever, and I think the cruise companies not letting us re-book when there is a change in the itinerary like this is very unfair. The cruise companies take all our money if we try to change anything, yet they are allowed to change everything. THIS is why I prefer not to go on any cruise, anywhere.

That being said the Sky was a great boat with a great crew. the people on board were nice, and diverse. But I really wanted to go to the Bahamas as promised, not Key West and a day at sea. Cruise insurance doesn't cover it either. A real issue in my book. Will I ever cruise again? I don't know, I don't like being taken advantage of and that's how I feel about booking a cruise, no recourse once they get your money

Second mistake is not reading your cruise contract which spells out that the cruise line can change itinerary in situations where the safety of the ship crew n guests are concered.

Yep, your first mistake was cruising in Hurricane season

Don't give up on cruising...just don't cruise during hurricane season. My wife and I cruise almost every year for our October anniversary, this is the second trip that will be diverted due to storms. We just focus on the great time we get to spend with each other and try to experience everything we can on the ship!!!
