A good cruise, but you must entertain yourself. The Sky is showing heavy signs of aging, and is very small in all aspects.

Quick and easy.

No children

All looked clean but aged.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The room seemed smaller, and the shower is not large enough for a grown man! Plumbing is aged, drains poor, and water mixing valves failing.
