Review summary

NCL Sky September 15-25,2022 Ship Quick review Very small ship with very little for kids to do. Two small pools. Our aft balcony was slightly larger than most cabins. The inside cabins were much smaller than usual. The regular balcony’s were extremely small. We however had a room for a lounge chair and two chairs. We had an amazing panoramic view as well. Their is no dresser and extremely small closet. The bathroom was soooo small. Cruise tip always bring an extension cord . There is literally one outlet per cabin! Luckily I always bring one. Also bring an alarm clock. Since your phone is in airplane mode it never updates. We had four time changes in board and never new what time it was! Food: We felt that a lot has changed . The quality, choices and portions were poor in the dining rooms. They blonger offer a lobster night😠.Thecateaks we’re always tough and dry. The service now thst they have gone to pre paid gratuity and freestyle has really declined. I am not a buffet type person but on two nights we actually did go to the buffet. We found the food and choices were much better in the buffet. However they no longer bring a beverage cart or coffe cart around. So by the time you wait in s enormous line with one bartender your food is cold. Breakfast in the buffet was this ships best meal. Great omelettes, eggs Benedict were a few of my favorites. This ship has three specialty restaurants. They are offered at an up charge of 89.00 per we cabin plus gratuity. Our package included one meal in Cagney’s Steakhouse it was fabulous! Amazing food and outstanding service.! You do have to make reservations immediately when you. Pats because this sells out fast. We were only able to book for the last night of the cruise or I would have eaten every meal there. We also bought Sushi Ala cart which was not great. The production shows on this very small ship ( the smallest in the fleet and oldest but refurbished) were high school musical quality. Very low budget , the singing sounded like karaoke. Ok now the good parts: We had a blast! We participated i. The cruise directed activities. We got picked for the Love and Marriage gave show which was video recited and played on the tv all week🤣We were instant celebrities! And we won! Fir this of your unfamiliar this is the show where three married couples compete in by answering rather personal questions about each other. Tbey luck a Newlywed, a middle of road couple (us) and the couple married the longest. Always fun and funny! We also played battle of sexes. Here guys vs girls in different hilarious tasks. What a scream! Another dubs tuvity we watched was Perfect couple which was similar to battle of the sixes but different challenges coupled competed with each other. This was hysterical!  They also had nightly trivia, wine tasting, dance classes,Zumba, hairy leggs pool competition, and karaoke. I was disappointed with the karaoke choices the list was very small. The house band was absolutely fantastic.Best at sea ! They played lots of 80’s and hair band rock and roll. There was also salsa music, and a very mellow piano bar. The longed one this ship are very small . There were two comedy shows and they were fabulous. However you needed to arrive 30minutes early if you wanted to watch due to the size of the theater. Overall fun wise we give this an 8.5!
