Review summary

This was my 4th time cruising with NCL and the second time on the Sky. I purchased this trip for the all inclusive drinks but soon found out that in order to recoup this the $20/per meal for the specialty dining areas are now a la carte and not inexpensive. What I spent in dining I could have paid for a drink package. Dining packages were 'offered' in my NCL messaging account but no mention of this dining change was mentioned or explained. Just a FYI for those who aren't aware of these changes.

One of the guests in my group is vegan and the dining staff were very accommodating to this dietary request. We simply went to the restaurant we planned on eating at that night early in the day and requested a vegan meal be available. Every meal was delicious and the staff were more than eager to accommodate!!
