Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
In the main dining rooms the food was ok. Presentation was lovely but the food itself was just ok. Sometimes lukewarm at best. The food on the buffet was hot and fresh with many choices. My favorite was Cagney’s Steakhouse. Although an extra cost, it was well worth it. The food and service were wonderful.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were many activities on board and quiet places could be found if you just wanted to relax.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The ships performers were very good. My favorite was the magician, Jessica Jane. She was very entertaining and put on a wonderful show. One evening there was a man ,who obviously had too much to drink, and Jasper , the cruise director, handled it perfectly!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I felt the staff and service was wonderful.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Sky is an older ship that has been beautifully refurbished. If you are looking for a ship with all the bells and whistles this is not it! Try the Bliss. The ship is very well maintained and clean. It is very easy to get around.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The cabin was very clean and well maintained but very small. It was more than adequate for us, we really enjoyed the balcony.

Ship tip

Research the different ships. We enjoy the older crowd and the freestyle dining. Their bigger ships have more to do as well as the relaxing freestyle sailing.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

4 out of 5
We flew in the night before and stayed in a hotel close to the port. No excursions.

Nassau, Bahamas

4 out of 5
Booked a short excursion with ShoreFox. Made stops at a Rum cake Factory, the Queens Steps, John Watling’s Distillery, Graycliffs Chocolatier and 30 minutes at Atlantis. Very enjoyable and affordable.

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

4 out of 5
My heart goes out to the people of Freeport. So much of the island was destroyed by Hurricane Doreen. We took an excursion to the Garden of the Groves which was very enjoyable.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We walked off with our luggage with no problems.
