Review summary

We had a great time on the N. Sky for a last minute Summer getaway. Food, drinks and music were always excellent and entertaining. This is one of Norwegian's smallest ships, so don't expect lots of room and luxury, and expect a lot of people, which at times, felt a little bit too crowded.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
We did not receive any accommodations in the Silver tier.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food and drinks are always excellent on board NCL. There were many dining options, all of them delicious.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

4 out of 5
DJs were amazing and kept us dancing all night, every night, stage shows were garbage, it was difficult to watch. Dancers were amateurs and the live singing was bad. The live music (bands) were also really good and entertaining, and played all types of music, from Latin hits, to oldies, to new music, etc.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Everyone was always so nice and attentive.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
I thought it was too small for the amount of people on board. At times, it fell really crowded, especially when trying to catch an elevator or getting in line for the buffet. Other than that, the common areas were always clean and in great shape.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The room was big and comfy. We stayed on deck 10, and the room seemed bigger than other ships we've cruised on. The cabin was clean, with the exception of the bathroom. It smelled horrible all the time.

Ship tip

Since it seems as there is too many people for the ship's size, everything gets packed quickly, so wherever you're going, get there early.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Miami was fun! We stayed overnight the night before, and were able to enjoy South Beach. The port is close to everything, so we were able to visit many places after disembarkation.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
The island is under developed, so lots of construction and the port is not that appealing. Once you get out, and go visit other beaches, the island is very pretty and enjoyable.

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5
The Main Attraction. Visiting The Atlantis was the highlight of our trip, it is a bit pricey, but very enjoyable and beautiful. We also visited Junkanoo beach, and this was an amazing experience. We got to walk through town and the shops, until we got to the beach, which was clean and very beautiful. We got to experience Nassau like locals, when visiting Junkanoo beach.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
Unfortunately, it was raining the day we visited GSC, however, we have visited before and it is one of our favorite islands. It is clean, well maintained, and you get to take advantage of all the amenities (food and drinks) and entertainment (DJs) from the ship. I can't wait to see what's to come on the island!

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Quick and no time wasted.

This ship has luxury. We stayed in the Owners Suite 9201. I’ve posted the pictures. We had a butler and concierge.
