Norwegian Sky Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Overall it was a good cruise - the over tone was Latin

The staff were generally friendly and ready to answer questions/assist

DJ Viper was good, but should play music for different cultures including Caribbean - reggae, calypso (Trinidad, Barbados etc)

The gift shop items on sale has a thrift shop appearance, many items - jewelry and evening bags were broken, seams coming apart etc

The Crossings and Palace complimentary restaurants carried the same menu

Breakfast same everyday

Shows were good

Youth program - not interesting for teens

I needed to rest and hoped that I could have the option of watching movies in my room (On Demand Program selection) and even the Olympics - too many channels showing the ship

I would recommend it though

The Cruise and Open Bar were great. Shows were Tremendous. Staff Exceedingly Friendly. Overall we Loved the Cruise and would do it again in a heart beat.

Did not like the Television layout. To many dead channels mixed in working channels. Would be better to put in a better system and have ability to look at room charges, book tickets, etc.

It was a great cruise.  My favorite part were the Showcase broadway numbers.  Also, the entertainment was great!  I laid out by the pool most of the time.

The ship was clean and the staff was very friendly.   The last stop of Great Stirrup Cay was PARADISE!   I would have loved another day there.   Best beach I have ever been to. 

Very friendly crew, very informative. A better selections on buffets, meaning a little more American food without all the different spices and seasonings. A toaster on both buffet lines. Longer hours for the pizza.

Fun and relaxation for all. Will definitely cruise with Norwegian again😸😜😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😸😸😸😸😸😸🍧🍧🍔🍔🍔🍔🍗🍗🍗🍗🍺🍺🍺😸😸😸🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🍹🎂🎂🍹😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

My favorite part of the cruise was the last day at Great Stirrup Cay.  The private cabana is pricey but worth every cent! Wait staff had the cabana set up with a table and 4 chairs, 4 loungers, fridge filled with food and water and extra towels.  The water is so clear and beautiful.  My granddaughter started the day with a massage on the beach.  There is snorkel equipment available for rent.  One of my favorite days ever.

The Norwegian Sky is an older and smaller ship but great bones and I think will be retrofitted with new upgrades.  Make sure that you take the time to go to the live game shows...  they were hysterical!

The ship itself has very good with excellent cabin stewards who provided excellent service!

Although the ship is smaller and doesn't have all the bells and whistles of other cruises, it was still a fabulous cruise!  It was nice to not worry about paying for drinks.

Their private island is the best!  We rented a cabana fir the day. A great value if you want shaded privacy. The cabana included $50 worth of food, towels, bottled water, and rafts to use. You can still use the beach by the cabanas even if you don't rent one. It was less crowded there. 

Favorite part is the all inclusive drinks and food. Keep everything the same especially staff support. 100% recommendation.  The port stops were all different offering a unique feel Freeport felt smaller but still had residents and tourist Nassau was very busy hustle and bustle and the final island Great Stirrup Cay was the best cleanest beach and no residents

Quite literally the worst 4 days of my life

The food was disgusting, and the drinking water made my girlfriend and I both very sick. The employees were loud and rude. And the citizens in Nassau were so violently pushing their products and services that it became unsafe, and I had to spend my entire day in what should be a wonderful location in my cabin!!

please, avoid This Cruise Line at all costs, and avoid Nassau at all costs!!

Vast amount of places to go on the ship(sun, shade),  Bar staff everywhere.  Wait staff.  Food was ok.  Sushi was excellent. The children's pool set up was awesome.  Would like to see more of those wading pools on ships for adults.  Would have liked an upper deck for adults only.

 Everything was nice and clean. The staff was always friendly. There was always great entertainment.. The food was delicious. Every time we left the room, when we would come back it was cleaned, restocked, and a new animal was made of towels. My only regret is that we couldn't plan for a longer vacation.

This was an excellent cruise! The all-inclusive drinks were great (strong drinks). Our room was very clean, and we enjoyed having a balcony. The rooms are small, but manageable for 2 people. The ship was very clean, and the crew was very friendly. They didn't want you to do anything, because you are on vacation! Getting on and off of the ship was easy. We enjoyed Nassau. We didn't do an any excursions.  We just did our own thing. We loved Great Stirrup Cayou, it was beautiful! The piano bar was awesome, and the food was great everywhere! We did eat at the steak house, and the steak melted in our mouths! Overall this was a great mini vacation. We did not like leaving from Miami, though. We will never leave from Miami again. We prefer to be where people can speak English. We were sent back and forth with our luggage a couple times outside of the port, because no one spoke English and couldn't understand what we were asking. People from the cruise before us were still leaving the ship, so they must have thought we were looking for a ride. We had time slot 10:00 to 10:30 to be at the port.  Finally, a man taking luggage (who spoke English) saw us, took our luggage, and sent us in the right direction. 

I got a poor stateroom far below deck which made me claustrophobic and unable to rest well. When I talked to guest services on the ship (the shore personnel would not help at all) they were rude and informed me to talk to my travel agent but when I called the travel personnel I was told to talk to the ship GS ---- a total disaster.  This was my birthday cruise which I had looked forward to and was totally ruined by you folks!  I will definitely look for better companies in the future.   

Our fav part of this cruise was the stop at Great Stirrup Cay and the awesome lunch provided there. It was a BBQ and the food was great.

One port that could have been skipped was Nassau. This place is disgusting -- stinky, dangerous and every vendor is hawking you for something. It's like being fed to the wolves. If your ship stops here, do yourself a favor and chose to relax by the pool rather than going ashore.

I would definitely recommend this cruise on the Sky to anyone looking for a nice weekend getaway. The staff was very friendly and professional. I wish there was a iron in my stateroom so that I would not have had to pay for pressing service.

Food and service were great!

Also, the shows were very entertaining

Enjoyed all the excursions - to Grand Stirrup Key and Nassau - although at Nassau the taxi drivers were a bit much haggling for business

Did not like the lifejacket and emergency procedure check at the Muster Station. It was at 4pm, in direct sunlight and lasted way too long. Miami in August is hot and humid - you should take this into account. The crew member in charge was awful - very unhelpful and rude. Why was it not done inside like Princess Cruises does? Or at least provide water for people...CRAZY!

My husband and I were looking for a short cruise but one we could see multiple places. This was the only cruise we found for 4 nights that had *3* stops. Decision made! And we are thankful we went with this one. The ports were all great experiences. Freeport had easy, accessible transportation right off the pier. Nassau was beautiful but the private island was definitely our favorite. Beautiful location, all inclusive drinks and lunch served on the island, and not as crowded as the Sky was the only ship there. As far as the ship amenities, we were surprised at the level of talent shown by all of the house bands and show cast!! They were so great! Never had to wait in line for anything, even for the FREE DRINKS!! We were very happy with that offer from the ship. Wonderful activities happening at any given moment and always entertaining. Such a wonderful trip we had! Would highly encourage others to take this trip! 

Fantastic cruise! First time on Norwegian and will definitely sail with them again! Sky is a little bit older vessel, but has been refurbished nicely and is absolutely spotless! Food was very good and plenty of it...crew was over the top in service and friendliness. Open bar is fantastic..no waiting for anything...GREAT service! Highly recommend for that short getaway....
