The weather was perfect. The ocean was very calm—smoothest of the 11 ocean cruises that I have ever taken. The ship, Sky, was small. The balcony room was cramped—hard for even 2 people to move around without bumping into each other..

Review summary

My wife was served half-a-grapefruit in one of the restaurants with a large moldy spot. No one even noticed until it was brought to their attention. Very poor quality control. I wrote a complain, but never got a reply.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

Not much variety—almost the same food everyday in the buffet. The dining room was a little better.

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Bingo was good. Too windy on deck to play pickleball—the net was lousy, flops around in the wind. The table tennis paddles were all worn (rubble surface was peeled).

Entertainment

3 out of 5

Same comedian for 3 shows. Same magician for 2 shows ( not great magic either). Same lady singer for 2 shows. Not much variety!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Lazy egg cook—cooks one omelet at a time (even though he has 2 pans)— long line.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

Cramped—hard to move around w/o bumping into each other. Steward was not allowed to open the connecting door in the balcony with adjacent rooms. The closet door, bathroom door, & patio door made loud squeaking noises— until I asked the steward to grease the hinges. Not enough hangers in the closet for 2 people to use. No bathrobes, no slippers, no shower cap like other cruise lines provide.
