Review summary

We were on the Sky that was cut short this week by Irma. The 'open bar' (which was asked about on a previous review) is reflected in the higher base pricing. The drinks are OK, food OK, entertainment very poor, cabins tiny. Whether the itinerary change & cutting a day from the cruise impacted the entertainment programme so adversely I don't know, the atmosphere on the ship was awfully subdued as practically everyone spent most of the trip trying to reorganise their onward accommodation and transport. The option of taking guests back out to sea to ride out storm as the Escape did had to be far better than dropping guests back into a port which was already under evacuation and with obvious transport and accommodation problems. Offering a contribution towards flight change costs was hardly of use to those who weren't planning to fly out of the State. I guess there will be some horrendous telephone bills to come for most guests. We got the distinct impression entertainment was an after thought on this ship rather than a core element of the package. Cuba was fun, we got to see & experience the things we had planned. The ship was full but didn't seem crowded. We are NCL regulars, this is an old ship and it shows. The newer larger ships are far superior to the Sky in every category imaginable (we were on its sister ship, the Jade, recently which is far better too). I wouldn't be surprised to see the Sky sold on by NCL in the not too distant future... it's not a ship we'll seek to book again.
