Norwegian Sky Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Food wise the worst cruise ever . Meat was dry and overcooked. Not much variety in the menu. Not enough vegetables, mashed potatoes only once. Food not hot enough

It was lousy. I prepaid the gratuity then was billed $20 per day per person for tips....WTF???

Small but beautiful cruise, amazing staff, great experience

Please don't book NCL. Go on an all inclusive resort vacation or with another cruisline. Also book with a travel agent as I tole of my experience and they did nothing. They told me that NCL was reliable.

I would rate this experience mediocre just because the staff was absolutely amazing!

Overall we enjoyed this vacation with our friends but would not book this ship or class of ship again. It was a very expensive cruise and we did not feel we got our $ worth. We had reservations about booking an older smaller ship through Norwegian however we really wanted to go through the old lock system and there are very few ships to do this itinerary. It was a once in a lifetime destination trip but the accommodations were lacking.

Fantastic cruise experience!! One of my favorites.

Overall great time and fun excursions. Always something to do, or can just relax and watch the sea and sky.

This was my 5th cruise and third cruise line company. It was also the smallest and oldest cruise ship. The vibe is laid back, friendly, fun and well organized. You can't help but to meet people and have fun with any of the activities. The only complaint was the internet was slow and unreliable so plan to be mostly disconnected during the cruise. I've worked remotely from the other 4 cruises for a total of 9 weeks and I would not have been able to work with this satellite internet service. TV was pretty spotty too but good channel line up when it was working (for a cruise).

The main purpose of the cruise was the Panama Canal, from that point of view, it was worth every penny. Aaron, bartender at the Atrium Bar, was excellent as well as the young man that tended to our stateroom. The cruise provided an opportunity to visit countries that otherwise I might have never visited.

Who is nice cruise but we had a few days there in the beginning that was very rocky at sea. Rough waters and I have a small ship. That’s not too good. I guess I won’t travel in February play Cruise. Lol

Crew made the best of bad weather. Food is usually better and bigger selection on bigger ships. We will cruise Norwegian again.

Short…and windy. Not the best but not the worst cruise

We celebrated a friend’s 40th birthday on the Sky in February 2023. Locals to South Florida, we were hoping to find a ship that would be ideal for future weekend getaways that wouldn’t break the bank… the Sky, alas, isn’t the solution we were looking for. This was my 3rd voyage with NCL, and my girlfriend’s 2nd. For point of reference I’ve also sailed with Celebrity and a cruise line no longer in business. I have future cruises booked currently with Celebrity, NCL, and Virgin. First off it has to be noted that NCL naturally can’t control the weather, and a lot of the negatives from this trip come from an itinerary that changed from Freeport and Great Stirrup Cay to a day at sea and Nassau. However, NCL are in control of your enjoyment in lieu of these changes and I feel if this has happened on any cruise I’d been on previously, it wouldn’t have been a big deal for the most part. Freeport isn’t exactly renowned for being a great spot (I’d just been happy to tick it off the list) and on a vibrant ship with lots going on, I would’ve probably taken a sea day over going to Nassau again. Another thing - it’s been said before that any cruise barring disaster is still a good time, and I agree with this. We did have a good time. However, there was a lot of disappointing factors that stopped it from being a great time, and a 2 night vacation that costs $1,500 for two people really should be great. It’s not pocket change and you have a lot of quality options for a weekend at this price. When looking at short cruises that leave from this port, there really isn’t much of a price difference between the Pearl, a ship I’ve been on and enjoyed before through Alaska, and the Sky - so the Sky needed to really pull out the stops to match a ship that offers a lot more. This is a hard task, but not impossible. Sadly the Sky feels limited by its smaller stature, rather than embracing it. What could be an ideal, intimate ship for adult couples instead feels like an attempt to do everything the larger ships of the fleet accomplish, but falls flat and lacks its own identity. With a refurbishment only a few years ago, nothing is likely to change in the near future. Some people love the Sky and the Facebook group is full of accounts singing its praises and saying they’ve sailed on it multiple times. Even if luck had gone more our way I still can’t see this being our opinion personally. Despite the food onboard and service quality (altho feeling understaffed) matching what I expect from this line, I just can’t think of anything unique that the Sky has to offer. It’s a genuine shame.

We had a great cruise. Enjoyed all the ports and excursions. TV kept going out which made it hard to keep up with the news and not use our wifi minutes. Other than that we give our cruise a 2 thumbs up review.

Celebrity and Royal Caribbean are still our first & second choices of cruise line, but Norwegian certainly is quite good....especially the staff.

I have cruise all of the major cruise lines. This was my first NCL. I will never cruise with them again. Tours were awful. We had one great tour out of 5. So look at all the money we wasted.

Smaller boat, but it was all about the stops! Great service, decent food, had a blast. Would do it again.

Missed Grand Cayman, understandable why tho. Colon, panama and and cartenga, columbia were wasted ports. Would not do this itinerary again or recommend it to anyone. Can not say enough good things about the ship and crew. Out to please. Esp., Argie and Arthur, Beverage manager !!

Ship was not the best on food choices and entertainment. Loved all the ports and that’s the main reason for trip
