Norwegian Sky Cruise Reviews - Reviews

I think that is a nice ship, very clean. Wonderful atmosphere/environment. I would travel on it again

I have taken this cruise ship 3 times. This is going to be my 4th. The first time, I took it the a/c broke down and it took them a day to fix it. but they did. I have taken it twice after that and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience. When I feel like getting away for a few days, I take this cruise. I recommend everyone who is cruising for the first time to try this cruise. The food, the service, the staff are excellent.

This the is oldest and smallest of the fleet. Not as much to do as I would have liked. The staff was excellent and the sit-down downing had great food. Not bad if you are looking for a short get away but I would not cruise on this ship again.

the staff very helpful.

The ship was clean and we were welcomed with a red carpet and smiling faces happy to see us.

We really enjoyed our time on the sky. THe biggest down fall we had was the non soda or non alcoholic selection...it would have been nice to have punch or lemonade...The beds are hard. It would have been nice to have a trip where they visit Nassau and then private island for 2 days. Loved the layed back atmosphere of the private island. FreePort we didn't like at all. overall, we did enjoy our vacation.

This was the first cruise my wife has taken and my first in many years. Overall, it was great: very relaxing and fun. Looking at the other ships in the ports that were doing the shorter cruises (3 and 4 day) the Sky clearly looked like the nicest one. For what we wanted, a relaxing, short get-away, it was excellent.

Out of the three cruise lines that we have cruised on this one would not be at the top of the list.

the ship was very clean, and the cabin staff outstanding

Our 5 day cruise was like a nightmare in a cheap one star motel. The bed linens were grayish and stained as were the towels. The bed was so uncomfortable that I slept maybe an hour a night. Buffet was set up with a very congested flow. Food was the same every day. Elevators were very small and crowded. Never again!!!!!!

Loved that we could pick what time we wanted to eat and my husband liked that he didn't have to wear a suit or tie if he didn't want to.

The ship was just ok. The put in a "pay" restaurant next to the buffet so that cut the buffet serving area and seating, in half. Not even enough seats for everybody. Very disapointed in Norweigian. Last time on them. Back to Carnival or even try Royal Caribbean next time.

I was not impressed by the ship at all. Seem quite dated. The positive was that the ship did not seem crowded at all. Plenty of available chairs on the deck for taking in the sun. The food was pretty good. Unfortunately, unless you're a huge fan of unsweetened ice tea, that is all you'll be getting in this "all inclusive" trip. Prepare yourself for spending money on drinks. That was the least of our concern. The first day staying in our room we noticed dried blood stains on one of the pillow cases and scattered throughout the sheet under the comforter. We didn't complain about the sheet on the first night and simply left the sheet on the floor expecting the housekeeping to inspect the sheet before making up the bed in the morning. That didn't happen. Came back to the room after having breakfast, same nasty sheet and pillow case covered the perfectly made up bed. That was nasty. I asked the housekeeper for the room, how often did they change the sheets, he said twice a week. Ok. I explained to him the situation...he seemed not really to care. He promised to change the sheet the next morning. Mind you, this conversation was happening on the second morning of the cruise. He expected us to sleep with sheets that had blood stains. So again, we placed the sheet on the floor and slept with just the comforter. But this time, we marked one of the tags on one of the towels, and placed that on the floor in the bathroom to see if they changed towels as well or not. Sure enough, after coming back to the room after having breakfast the next morning, the same sheet and pillow case made up the bed again, and the towel we marked was neatly hanging back up on the towel bar. How nasty can the housekeeping staff there be? Of course we quickly picked up the phone to speak with the receptionist about the matter...he didn't care. He said he would have housekeeping come up to change the sheets and towels. I asked him how ofter were the housekeeping suppose to change sheets and towels, he said twice a day for the sheets, and if you want towels replaced, simply leave them on the floor. What a joke. Well after waiting about 15 minutes we had what we believe was a manager, not a housekeeping staff because of the uniform he was wearing, arrive to the room. Immediately he asked us with an attitude if we had a problem. I explained the problem, showed him the sheets, and his eyes opened so wide you would think he saw a snake. To be honest, we regret not taking photos of the stains to post them online for all to see. The stains were nasty. He mentioned that housekeeping only changes sheets if stains are noticeable. There were many blood drops on the sheet and hard to miss. They simply didn't care. Check your sheets!!!! And complain to management if you want results. The receptionists also seem not to care.

This was the smoothest Embarkation and deembarkation I have ever experienced. Once, on the ship, however, it went downhill from there. The drinks are way too expensive - and they always serve in special containers so they can charge more. I liked the ability to go to dinner whenever I felt like it and I didn't have to dress up. I felt sorry for those guests that did put on formal wear and had to sit beside people in flip flops. Food was OK - standard cruise fare. Dining room staff was the most aloof that I have ever experienced. Not once was I asked if I would like a drink with my meal. Rooms are like a miniature doll house. I booked a balcony cabin thinking that I would get a little more leg space. I spent the 4 days stubbing my toes everywhere. Private island need upgrading. I see construction going on so maybe that's what they are doing. entertainment was average. Singers and dancers tried their best. comedian was so-so. Overall, an average experience but OK for the price paid.

This was my first cruise and I was pleasantly surprised it was much more enjoyable than originally anticipated. The "Freestyle Cruise" was a great option as we could eat whenever and wherever we wanted and do whatever, whenever. No schedule or specific times to have to be anywhere. The buffet was pretty standard and Palace restaurant was nice. Food quality was good, not outstanding, but definitely enjoyable. Plenty of selection. The theater shows - comedian, Broadway rundown, and staff Variety Show - were very entertaining and engaging for the audience. Very talented. The 2-for-1 drink specials each night made it a bit more affordable to be able to enjoy a few drinks before and after dinner. Late night activities were for the younger adult crowd, but we had fun. We had an inside stateroom which had enough room, but need an multi-plug, as there is only 1 plug in the entire room. The bathroom and shower were quite small, but we made do. Overall this was a great choice for my first cruise and I highly recommend this ship and staff.

it was a good cruise had fun it rained so we stayed in port and did not go to private island. Didn't have much to do when it rained not alot of activites. I had the same drink in different bars always charged me different prices.

I have the best time of my life on the ship.

This was the worst cruise I have ever taken. I have been on numerous of cruises because I was a cruise manager for a travel agency.The service was so horrible I didn't tip extra. The crew acted like they were put out everytime I needed something. They were so rude. The only place me and my friends enjoyed the service was the italian restaurant and those people really made us feel special. Noone was cordial or even talked to us and we felt like we were a burden on this cruise. NCL was my favorite line, until now. This was the most awkward experience I've ever encountered with NCL. We even talked to the cruise director about this and he acted like he didn't care. He was too busy flirting with the women. Just so disgusted with this line. Especially this ship!!!

THE SHIP IS IN NEED OF REFURBISHING. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO SLIDING ON A SLIDE BUT THIS SHIP DID NOT HAVE ONE.

FOR A SHORT CRUISE IT IS A QUICK WAY TO UNWIND. GREAT PORTS OF CALL. EVERYONE ON THE SHIP WAS HAVING A GREAT TIME. THIS IS OF COURSE "CATCHY". GOOD VALUE FOR THE PRICE.
