Been on many NCL cruises some I loved some not so much. Didn't like the Sky. Will not return to it.

Haven’t cruised on Norwegian but seems as though they love it or not happy with it and no in between. Like you say there are other options.

We prefer Celebrity but we sailed the Sky two years ago for a weekend get away. No comparison to Celebrity but it served its purpose- getting away from work, the cold- and we enjoyed ourselves.

Friends of mine were on this ship and they had a great time. It just sounds like cruising is not your thing. Maybe you should try sticking to land vacations.

Been on the Sky twice and really enjoyed! Cabins are on the smaller size, but the staffs, shows, food were all great! Off course, you can't really compare the Sky over Celebrity ships. Fort the money paid, the Sky does a great job!

It definitely sounds like cruising is probably not for you since you didn’t seem to enjoy much of anything. Most people love it, but it’s not for everyone. Not sure why you’re yelling (ALL CAPS) throughout the whole review.

Yes, it is an older ship, but I liked it when I went in October because it is not a ship for kids and I liked that. I also had a great time in key west!
