Review summary

I was expecting more from the ship experience, I took my daughter and granddaughters on the ship their first experience, I wish our room was a little nicer and the entertainment for the girls was better. I don't think I will do another cruise on this ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

I have sailed on Norwegian Cruise line 6 times and found the food on this cruise to be sorely lacking. It was Ok. I have been so happy with food on other cruises but the chicken was dry in the dinning room and choices seemed very limited. I was very underwhelmed but as always the staff was wonderful.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

After spending days on the beach and on the island really didn't need much entertainment. We were ready to sit back and relax.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

The stage shows were fun the dancers and singers were great not a fan of the comedian but that's personal choice. Music in lounges were really good.

Children's Programs

1 out of 5

there were so many families and many with teenagers who tried the Entourage, it turned out to be a game room. So much could have been planned or done to let them meet others on the ship. The Splash club only caters to younger children and was disappointing for our 12,13 year girls.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

always so attentive.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

the common areas were very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Our cabin attendant was suburb but the room was old and the bathroom had rust on the door the shower need caulked. Underwhelmed again. We were very tight with 4 of us and out Oceanview window was always fogged over so seeing outside was hard.

Ship tip

Its a fun 4 day adventure and loved seeing the sites but don't expect much from the ship.

Thank you for sharing your cruise experience on the NCL/Sky. For years, review after review about the Sky have basically sounded the same & NCL never bothers to do anything about it. But I hear she’s leaving Miami port soon. Happy cruising on your next 🤩⚓️😎❣️‼️

I had a good time however the food at the buffet was under average. The staff was friendly the ship was clean. The value was not there compared to other cruises I have taken. Having cruised Norwegian in the past I was disappointed .
