Review summary

We really enjoyed our mini getaway on this 3 night cruise. The open bar and selection of restaurants on board along with the entertainment made this a very good deal.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Embarkation was a breeze. A ton of people ahead of us but it went quickly and we were on board within 45 minutes of parking our car sipping a drink by the pool side and enjoying lunch.

everyone was exceptionally nice and very polite.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
good size rooms, we had a balcony which made it even sweeter. Everything was well maintained. The restrooms were clean and well supplied. Considering the massive amount of people sailing, the cleanliness was superb.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Cabin was in perfect location in middle of ship halfway to anywhere, anytime.

Ship tip

If you sail the NCL Sky, take advantage of the shows. They were really entertaining. The audience participation shows were hilarious. The MC was spectacular and very entertaining. THe only thing didn't like was the cost of the BINGO game. The cards were minimum $35 for three and the prize was only $105 dollars split between 2 winners. They hype it up with 'You could win the $3000 jackpot today' but you have to coverall within 47 or so numbers called.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5
The NCL Sky ship was the first one in line, and it was lined up with the parking garage but upon our return, we were the last ones into the port and literally had to walk with our bags about a mile sometimes along the street to get to the parking garage. However, Miami was very close to our house and we will travel again from this port.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
We walked around on our own.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Very nice island. NCL catered lunch and provided all the drinks with plenty of time to enjoy the beach, volleyball, water sports, etc.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
literally a breeze. Also very quick. Clearing customs was less than 10 minutes and the lines kept moving.
