Would definitely cruise on Sky again. Had a GREAT time and can't think of a better way to ring in a New Year. The staff seemed to go above and beyond and seemed to genuinely care about making sure you were enjoying your vacation experience.

Embarkation

Quick boarding process. Line kept moving and there were plenty of check in representatives. Our representative was VERY professional, kind and helpful.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Excellent food choices. The specialty restaurants were worth the money we spent on the package. Cagney's took a little too long but given we had such a large party, I'll give them a pass this time. Il Adagio was our favorite!

Outrigger Lounge

5 out of 5

The best of all the bars on the ship! Joyce Samar was the absolute BEST bartender and the only one on the ship we could find that would make our favorite drink, an espresso martini!

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The sun decks are well laid out and allow for excellent people watching. The jogging track is the BEST! It wraps around the entire ship instead of just half a deck. It's also nice the track isn't on the sun deck.

Jogging Track

5 out of 5

LOVE LOVE LOVE this ship's jogging track. It wraps around an entire deck of the ship and isn't on the sun deck. I much prefer a longer running track than just running short circles tripping over deck chairs.

Didn't travel with kiddos.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Definitely among the best staff I've experienced on an NCL ship. I was on the fence about sailing with NCL after my last experience but this ship's crew seemed to go above and beyond. I get the whole freestyle cruise NCL sells but it's still nice to have a crew that's out there working hard to make sure you're having a GREAT vacation.

Just not a fan of the Bahama ports. I much rather stay on the ship and enjoy the ship's amenities.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
FANTASTIC time! Second time here and this was by far the best. We rented to cabanas, side-by-side. The staff was AMAZING, always making sure we had plenty of drinks and food. The Cabanas were well kept and convenient to everything on the island.
