Review summary

The Good: 1. Open Bar 2. Steam Room 3. Boarding, Embarkation, Disembarkation Time The Bad: 1. The ships layout is absurd, it doesn't flow and is of poor design. 1A. The night club seems to have been an afterthought where they took a small auditorium, dimmed the lights and call it club. The tiny dance floor is basically a floor level stage where you get to dance for the people seated in rows of seats pointed towards the stage/dance floor. 1B. The rooms are tiny, even the balcony rooms. Bathrooms are also small. 2. The food is nothing to write home about. First cruise that I've been on where I lost weight. Part of the problem myself and other guest had was finding a place to eat late at night after taking advantage of the open bar. I searched and searched for an open place to eat until stumbling onto what appeared to be a closed dining room with the lights out. While walking through the dining room to go elsewhere I saw an NCL employee and asked for food. She served my buddy and I food in the unlit restaurant. No one else knew to the place was actually open and we found it by accident. 3. Customer service leaves much to be desired before and during the cruise. NCL needs to send the entire organization to basic hospitality retraining. Will I cruise on the NCL Sky again? Yes but under protest. The group that I cruise with voted and NCL beat out our usual cruise line of choice Carnival. I voted for Carnival, but the open bar trumped all the negatives of this ship in the mind of my friends. Carnival is a party ship with an available drink package, NCL Sky is a floating open bar that is light on the party. My 2 cents.
