Review summary

The Norwegian Sky Cruise Ship is great for short cruises. The ship is an older ship. The furniture in the rooms are a bit outdated. The food was okay. Service was extremely slow in the dining rooms overall. The port stops were great. The employees were very friendly, courteous, helpful and professional.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Lines were very long. Then we had to get a ticket/group number to go onboard the ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
The buffets were great. The dining experience was less than favorable. The service was extremely slow from taking orders to receiving the food. There definitely needs to be an improvement in those areas.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
There weren't too many activities which were of interest to me. I enjoyed the Bob Marley tribute night and some of the onboard live bands.

Children's Programs

She enjoyed the teen club very much. There were lots of activities and games for them to get involved in.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
My room steward was fabulous. Very attentive, courteous and friendly. The waiters were nice even though the service was extremely slow.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
The ship was clean and very well maintained. The ship is a bit outdated and needs to be taken out of service.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
Rooms are very outdated. The room was somewhat comfortable and clean. The TV was not clear and very fuzzy. Furniture in room is very outdated. Again the ship needs to be taken out of service.

Ship tip

The ship is very outdated but comfortable enough for a short cruise. Service in dining rooms are extremely slow.

The port was fine. Not a big deal

HAVANA, CUBA

4 out of 5
The port was great. There were souvenir and cigar shops in the port. The bank for money exchange was such a convenience being in the port. We took our own excursions which were great.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

4 out of 5
The port was very nice. I like that they had souvenir shops and clothing shops. The beach was clean. There were enough chairs for everyone.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
Disembarkation was fine. Long lines as expected. Everything was orderly.
