Norwegian Sky Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Great trip, great ship and great ports of call!!!! Go to Cuba and meet the friendly people and see the historic buildings, and cars. The trip to the Cuban farm was a wonderful way to see how the Cuban people farm.

We enjoyed our first cruise.  Every crew member was wonderful!  We didn't get one of the photographer's name, but she was the best!  She did a great job!  Made those that hate pictures enjoy them!  

Time in Cuba was just right, enough to tell us we want to go back and see more of the island.  A nice day was spent at Stirrup Cay, great food. 

Price of water on board and on Stirrup Cay was too pricey.  Strange when alcohol was free, but water cost an arm and a leg.  I think that is the only negative we have of the cruise.

Took in a couple shows, perfect.  

This cruise was very good and I really liked it.  I found the boat and room nice and there was plenty of things to do.

My only knock was the lack of assistance from the staff.  This cruise had drinks included, so bartenders and wait staff were not attentive and friendly probably due to no drink tips each order.  I even saw some folks give waiters a cash tip at the start in order to have their attention the rest of the day, makes sense I guess. 

When I first boarded, the crew was more concerned with spraying you with hand sanitizer than answering questions. 

First time on this ship. It was a fun cruise for our girls getaway. The food was okay we did not do any of the specialty restaurants. The bar lines were never over crowded. But the absolute best bar on the ship was Captain Cooks with Kay and Erik they are awesome and so nice. Loved Great Stirup Cay beautiful island. In Nassau we went to Balmoral Island it was also very nice and clean. However there was a smell of soured carpet on Deck 5 near the Crossings dining room kinda smelled like rotten cabbage but it was from a water leak they said . Other than that everything was clean and employees had great attitudes. And I would not take my child on this cruise. Party ship for sure!!

We cruised from June 16-19 2017 ( a little 25th Anniversary cruise ) and had a good time. Yes, it's a older ship but the ship was clean, staff was professional and friendly and the food was good. We did not see any of the shows but we ate at Cagney's and Il Adiago and was very pleased with the food and service. Well worth the cost. Nassua was nice and the private island was beautiful! My only issue was we did not have the priority check in as Latitudes members, we got directed to the wrong line ( it happens sometimes in all the confusion of checking in) But check in was still in a good timely fashion. The cruise was relaxing and I would suggest it for a nice quick get-a-way. 👍🏼😄. We are just waiting for November for our next NCL cruise. Happy Cruising everyone. 🏖🏝🛳😊

After we bought our passport cards for Nassau cruise Norwegian change it or "up graded us" to Cuba but failed to tell us we would need a passport book. So they literally left us on the docks and refuse to refund us anything. To top it off this was our honeymoon cruise! NEVER will we ever use Norwegian. They say it is our fault for not knowing and would not do anything but abandon us on the docks!!! Needless to say we are furious. Please watch for the upcoming news story. 

My husband and I enjoyed this cruise very much. This was our fifth cruise, but first with Norwegian. The Sky is an older ship, but very clean with lovely decorations. We really enjoyed the freestyle dining and the all-inclusive aspect of this ship was an added bonus! This was an older crowd, which is fine with me and very few little kids. Havana and the Bahamas was fabulous! Food could've been better.

The stateroom was nice and roomy. The ship was relatively OK. An older ship but sailed well.Smooth ride. Pleasant staff. Not a lot of activities. The food was average.

This cruise is exactly a booze cruise. I stayed in Room 8258, no water pressure for proper showers, steward never did turndown or towel animals and left room door open because it sticks. Private island was expensive for souvenirs, and excursions. On the plus side...it's a booze cruise!

This is the second time we have cruised with the Sky. This time to Cuba and the private island. Even though this ship is one of the older ships in the fleet, it is still in descent shape as far as cleanliness. The employees are constantly cleaning the carpets or sweeping of passenger messes. Our steward Christian was super attentive and soooo nice. He kept our room clean and stocked. We unfortunately had an ac leak that was just in the inside and outside of our room. It wasn't a big deal as it didn't effect our trip. They did have a blower on the carpet in our room when we weren't there to keep it dry. My favorite part is the private island which unfortunately we were not able to do this time around due to weather. We were in the tender line when the ship staff decided it was no longer safe as the seas were reaching 10ft. Bummer but what can you do when it's June and storm season. They did add some activities to the agenda for the day at sea. The cruise director was mediocre compared to when we went two years ago and the entertainment staff only had a couple people that were actually fun...Ash was funny and kept the crowd going at events. We like this cruise because like the bigger ships, it isn't over ran with kids. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles for children which is fine by us as we have kids so it's nice to escape them sometimes. (❤️ them but we all need a break!) Food this time didn't seem as good as the same cruise 2 years ago on the Sky. It didn't seem as good as before. The NY strip was good and we had that a couple times. I do recommend the Ultimate Havana tour. It was nice. The tour buses were very clean and air conditioned and we stopped at some cool places in Cuba. It beats walking around in the heat which btw isn't much different than Florida. Seeing the older vehicles was a highlight for me. Cuba is like stepping back in time. The buildings are tattered and worn and they need a lot of fixing but there is so much beauty in seeing everything the way it is. The Cuban people were friendly and most speak English or enough English to understand. Overall the trip was good. My husband and I had a great getaway. I will always recommend Norweigan for cruising!

Ship was nice....staff was amazing, but overall, just average as far as cruises go.   Want to try a newer ship with NCL to see how they compare.   Always willing to give them a 2nd chance to impress.

The cruise was great! Was also my first cruise and we have booked another 4 day cruise with the same line. Staff and crew were very polite and friendly food and drinks were okay. I'm not that big a drinker but if you are this is your ship. Most alcohol drinks free!

Havana is a once ina lifetime experience! NCL knows how to do everything right. The food, the ship (Sky) and everything else were first class. One drawback...stay away from the casino! It seems that the odds are unfair and something not so above board is going on. Otherwise, a flawless cruise experience.

Wonderful cruise on a smaller, all inclusive traditional ship. It was great to do a new itenerary, Cuba, for 2 days. Beautiful countryside tour, friendly people, new scenery. Highly recommend for somewhere new to try. Thanks to my travel consultant, Thomas Ohara at Cruise Planners. 2 thumbs up!

First-our balcony room was tiny. Drinks were watered down, and the food was awful. Specialty restaurants charge an arm and a leg and don't deliver a decent meal.

Cuba was wonderful! The people we met were warm and helpful. Took the farm to table tour and had a great time. Took the classic car tour of Havana and our driver was informative and funny.  When the old part of town is restored- it will look like Paris.

Everything was great! Havana was wonderful and the people were nice! Just bargain for a cab, don't take the first offer!!! GSC was great. They did cancel the parasailing, but the stingray excursion was very well worth it! Such an amazing experience!! The ocean was great! Food and drinks were amazing!!! Staff was amazing! Would highly recommend!

We had a great time. no complaints! free unlimited alcohol, clean ship & friendly staff. We loved the entertainment and can't wait until our next cruise!

Went from Miami to Nassau to Great Stirrup Cay back to Miami. For my 1st cruise, the NCL staff was great! I would totally book with them again in the near future.

Surprised it was so nice for what is obviously a booze cruise! Food was decent, not amazing but lots of choices. The staff was so nice and friendly. The entertainment was a little amateur but who cares? The comedian was very funny. Totally spoiled for any other cruise in that the drinks were included. Good drinks, anything you want.. very fun! We had an inside cabin on 6a, very quiet except for the same group that drunkenly came back at 3am every morning. The cabin was small but comfortable. My only complaint is their private island is a tender situation and just before we were to arrive, they cancelled due to high swells. No warning, no hint this would happen. It didn't look very rough so it was a big disappointment. I realize they don't cancel for the fun of it but you know they know in advance it's a possibility, a little warning would've made it better. This ship is not big enough for a "day at sea", they really didn't add much more to do while we drifted around. Lots of bored passengers. It seems to happen frequently, they need a better back up plan. Add more fun on the ship, please.

This is probably the friendliest crew I've ever encountered! It set the tone for the trip. Cuba was amazing; we just didn't have enough time. I had an authentic Cuban and Mojito. May never get another stateside.
