Review summary

We booked this cruise to be able to spend the holidays with some family that we don't get to see very often. We chose the Sky because it is a smaller ship and easier to spend time together. We loved it and we love the Sky.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We used the special Platinum embarkation area and it worked really well

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We ate at the buffet, the Palace main dining room and Cagney's. The food was excellent in all of them.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We participated in most of the trivia activities and they were a lot of fun. Didn't use any of the other venues.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We really enjoyed the piano man, Antonio Jose.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Although we never saw our room steward, our room was always made up timely and clean. All other crew that we interacted was very friendly and professional.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Sky is an older ship so the layout is very easy to navigate. The common areas were as clean as possible for an older ship. The Sky is scheduled to go into dry dock in a couple weeks for some much needed refurbishing.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
We booked a regular balcony room and it was fine for this category of room. We do prefer a suite or the Haven so to us it seemed pretty small.

Ports of call

Key West, Florida

3 out of 5
We just got off the ship and walked around on our own. Key West is just like any other tourist port town with all the typical shops etc. Nothing special.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas Did not visit port

10 foot waves made visiting this island impossible.

Nassau, Bahamas Did not visit port

We have been to Nassau many times so we stayed on the ship at this port.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We stayed on the ship until 9:00 so there was no crowd when we disembarked. Very easy walk off.
