Review summary

This was a girls getaway with my friend. We have cruised together with our families before. It was a great trip. Touch and go with the Hurricanes but we were provided daily updates and had no doubts that everything was good to go when our trip was set. Norweigien did a great job with service and cleanliness. I will definitely put them on the top of my list when planning for next trip.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Check in was quick and smooth.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Buffets were fair. Much less variety than expected and compared to other lines I've cruised. Purchased the specialty dining based on reviews we read about the mediocre regular dining. Not impressed with the main dining menus at all. Tried all 3 specialty dining options they were good. Way too much food.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Pools and hot tubs were packed to be expected.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Caught one show in the theater. Singers were good, choreography was like watching a high school production. Comedian was good .

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Excellent friendly service.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Clean and promptly attended to.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Awesome room. Close to stairs not too bad on noise, sadly you can't pick your neighbor. Fine for a 3 night trip if you keep your stuff hung up and organized. The balcony was wonferful. Great view leaving Nassau and view of Stirrup Cay.

Ship tip

It's a booze cruise much like carnival except you drink when/if you want. Much better than being pushed to order drinks day & night. Kids pool is a good place to escape, there were not many kids on this sailing and it was fantastic.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
No Excursion. Not our first trip to Nassau so we walked to public beach got a good deal on chairs and umbrella for the day.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Great Stirrup Cay was fantastic. Almost as nice as Disney Castaway. I would book this cruise again to go back to this location.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Smooth and easy. We carried our own bag and we're off the boat and caught our ride by 8:30. The easiest disembark I ever have experienced I have cruised several competitors. Norweigien is hassle free.

Glad you both had a safe, and good time on the Sky. The crew was probably sad to see you both leave.
