Review summary

Took this short cruise with 4 other couple friends. We had about as much fun as we could fit into 3 nights! We were able to board the ship at 10:30am and had a drink in our hands a few minutes later and were eating lunch on the deck.  The weather was beautiful, our room was comfortable, the shows were fun, the ship was clean and tidy, the wait staff was awesome!  Nassau is..... well, it's Nassau, not the ships fault for that.  The private island was unbelievable!  Tropical and gorgeous! And the food and drinks were again, abundant!  This is probably the only cruise that I didn't enjoy the sit down dinners like I usually do. We were always first in line and the food came out very slowly and I would have to say subpar.  Not like I usually get on cruises.  Not sure why though.  But, it was at best, OK.  The last night we skipped the sit down because there was too many things we wanted to do.  The entertainment by Benjamin was a riot in the Atrium bar!  And Stefan our bar server was adorable!  My best advice is: Don't bring your kids on a cruise with free alcohol because it is very apparent that everyone is boozing it up pretty good.  Very few children on the boat. If you are traveling with kids, which I have, you may want to choose a cruise that is better suited for kid fun.  No extra cost on the drink unless you wanted something that wasn't part of the inclusive list, but frankly it was very extensive and had many choices for every taste.  The only reason for a 4 star was the dining room experience for dinner.  Breakfast dining room was awesome.

Ship tip

Coffee Bar was great on Deck 7! Plenty of deck chairs, just venture away from the pools. The bar servers will find you. Tip them well and you will be set for the day! Great fun! Leave your kids at home, they won't have fun on this cruise. But YOU will!

I have been to Nassau so many time now but I have never ever felt unsafe there or had any kind of problem.

I really liked my second cruise aboard Sky as much as you. I completely with your assessment of the food. What's wrong with Nassau, my second hometown? It's safe to walk around, as long as you keep one hand on your knife. (I'M JUST KIDDING!) Check out my video and see how it compares to your experience.
