Embarkation
4 out of 5
Embarkation was easy. I was the second group on the ship. Miami is an easy place to get on a ship.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining

I have celiac disease. On the dining room menu they have a symbol next to a gluten free dish
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
We only had one sea day, so I just hung out in the shade at the pool. 4 jacuzzis, 2 that allow kids and 2 for adults only. Only 5 people allowed in each jacuzzi and there is a lifeguard to enforce rules. Also, no drinking or bringing drinks into the pool or jacuzzi. There is a kids only little pool in the very front on the ship on deck 12.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
All personnel were friendly and said hello whenever they saw you. My room steward was Benny. I forgot that on Norwegian they clean your room twice a day. No towels animals unless you request it. So if you have kids, request it.
Ship Quality
4 out of 5
They just redid the Sky in February 2019 so the ship was in good shape. It is a small ship only 2,000 people. I feel it is more for adults than kids. I did see that they do have kids programs, guppies for kids 0-2 yrs. and splash academy for 3-12 yrs and then entourage for teens.
Cabin / Stateroom
4 out of 5
I liked my cabin. I found a sale for $99 + port fees for an inside room. I did not get to pick room. That’s ok for me, I was put on deck 10 which was under the pool deck so I did hear music and when they put out deck chairs at 6:30 am every morning. You can also hear them refilling the pools after they cleaned them.
Ship tip
More for adults than kids. Deck 10 is under the pool.
2 ships were here. Sun and the Sky were anchored off the island. Found some good shells. Water is nice. There are rocks in the water. They have a zip line for you adventure seekers. I did stingrays city. I’m 5 foot 3 inches tall and the water went to my chest, I say that because I can’t see any kids doing this - the water is too deep. A lady told me that Carnival’s stingrays excursion is better because water only goes to your waist.
Went to the key west butterfly conservatory. Loved it. The price is $12, but I heard there is a coupon if you buy one you get one free, so $6 per person. Do it you won’t regret it. Wear good walking shoes if you want to walk Duval Street.
4th time here. I just walked around and down to Junkanoo beach, which has gotten a lot more rocks than my last time I was here. It is not my favorite beach. Cable beach is a better beach but you must take cab or bus or Uber to get there.
I was on this cruise. This was my first Norwegian Cruise. I do agree that there wasn’t many kids on this ship and I loved that! It was more chill and laid back than carnival but I’m ok with that. I’ll definitely be going Norwegian again soon.
