Review summary

This was my first cruise ever in 2017 and it truly made me a believer of the cruising experience. Before then I had no desire to vacation via cruising. The fact that the cruise was an overnight to Cuba also helped. Though the ship was small I didn’t feel claustrophobic. We were on a lower deck but did have a ocean view so that helped to not feel so cramped. The Sky is automatically free beverage package so that was a plus and we surely took advantage of that. Since I was a smaller ship with a lot of people the pool hoarders were plenty and didn’t leave much room for others to enjoy the chairs or pool too often but I did get to get in the jacuzzi a couple times and dip my legs in the pool. The food was good. The buffet always had plenty options and staff ready and willing to meet dietary needs which was a plus! The only thing I didn’t care for was the juices which were pretty watered down. I am not a soda drinker so that was a bummer. We never made it to the main dining room for dinner but that was fine with us, the buffet treated us right. My favorite part of the entertainment was the karaoke. There was one day where it was just myself and about 6 other people and we had a ballllllll together! The shows were pretty decent from what I recall although at this point I can’t speak to anything in particular. Cuba was a blast. We went to some famous destinations for daiquiris, took a 2 hour tour in a classic car for a great negotiated price, walked around and did some shopping and also got to watch the makings of a music video from a wonderful rooftop bar! Cuba was truly magical except for the food. I was so surprised that the local restaurant that we went to left much to be desired. The dish that I had was poorly seasoned and the shrimp weren’t cleaned. I didn’t expect a super xl meal but the portion was for a child’s menu in my opinion. Overall i loved my Sky experience and while I would go on it again if going to Cuba again or another island I really wanted to visit was an itinerary of this ship otherwise I am very happy with the NCL Getaway and other larger ships.
