Norwegian Sky

Pros: Great scenery, staff, food, accommodations.
Cons: Absolutely none!

When my family first brought up the issue of taking a cruise to Alaska, it was last fall, and even then, the plan was to take it “in a few years” as a family. Well, in February of 2001, my father was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, so we knew that...

Pros: Onboard amenities, freestyle dining, great entertainment, and casino
Cons: A few things to nit-pick, but nothing major

We just returned from a 7-night Southern Caribbean cruise on the beautiful Norwegian Sky and had a fantastic vacation

All about the SHIP
The sailing was smooth overall, only a little rocking here and there during our trip. Our...

Pros: Alaska, Alaska, Alaska
Cons: Small cabins, decor of ship

I would like to start the review on a positive note by saying that the cruise to Alaska on the Sky was one of the better vacations we have had. The experience in Alaska is wonderful and the views are nothing short of spectacular.
I would recommend...

Pros: Staff, food, duty-free shopping!
Cons: OOPS, we paid too much

I'd never been so excited or so nervous to take a vacation in my life. Alaska was the 43rd state I'd been to in the USA, so the unknown was almost intimidating. My friend and I chose not to use the NCL travel assistance programs, so we were on our own...

Pros: Good value, wonderful service, clean, professional staff.
Cons: Prices of drinks, bingo and shore excursions.  NCL is outgrowing the private island.

This past October after the stresses of giving our daughter a wedding, my husband and I decided to gift ourselves a weekend trip to the Bahamas on the NCL Sky.  The Sky is one of the older and smaller boats in their fleet, but it's perfect for the ...

Pros: Excellent shows. Great ports of call. Delicious food!
Cons: Indifferent staff, unimpressive ship, small cabins/bathrooms, overbearing salesmen!

Pros: Beautiful beaches/scenery, not crowded!
Cons: 4 nights just aren't enough to experience it all.

We recently booked this trip for our honeymoon (after the swine flu cancelled our Mexico plans) and I must say, thank you Swine Flu, Cancun can never compare to the Bahamas!We went at the end of May, so your experience may be different based ...

Pros: Excellent introduction to Hawaii; two beautiful ships!
Cons: Not enough time to fully appreciate the islands.

NCL's Norwegian Sky will be heading to Hawaii this fall after spending much of the summer in Alaska. I will be on a ten day voyage this September departing Vancouver, B.C. and after five days at sea, making stops in Hilo, Kauai, Maui and Kona and...

Pros: Free style Concept Service Entertainment
Cons: State Room Size

I will break this review down according to the ports visited.
I traveled with my wife and 11 month old daughter. The total cost of the cruise was approximately 2300 CAD including taxes, port charges, and insurance.
We arrived to San Juan PR...

Pros: Excellent service, glitch-free travel, gorgeous scenery, nice staterooms
Cons: Not enough time ashore, lame vegetarian fare

Had it been up to me, I'd have opted for the less luxurious (and cheaper!) Alaska Ferry (Bellingham to Skagway for $282/person). But honeymoons aren’t up to husbands, and my wife wanted the tried-and-true luxury cruise. Naturally, the fact that she's...

Pros: tasty food and easy disembarkation.
Cons: small cabins, crowded embarkation with no seating or food, and high cost for extras

I couldn't figure out a way to write a review for this particular cruise ship, and the "help" said ask for a "category lead," but it didn't explain how to do it or what it was. So this review is mostly for Norwegian Cruise Line, but the specific ship, ...

Pros: Great scenery; newer ship; pools, spas, and elevators all work; lots of food choices
Cons: No nightlife; mediocre buffet food and service; frumpy hostesses and cruise director

My wife and I just returned from a 7 day cruise to Alaska on the Sky we sailed on 7/12/03 from Seatt ...

Pros: Food pretty much any time, bigger rooms
Cons: cool food, not entertaining for the younger folks

My husband and I just got back two days ago from our eastern Caribbean cruise aboard the Norwegian Sky. We had such high expectations. Some were met, some were not.

We had a balcony state room. It was wonderful. The room was a nice size...

Pros: New Ship, Beautiful Scenery, Functional Rooms, Seamless Disembarkation, Entertainment
Cons: $1.50 for Soda, Smoking Allowed, Not Enough Glacier Time, Varying Food Quality

Today I returned form my seven day Alaskan cruise aboard the Norwegian Sky. I have to say I was somewhat disappointed in the cruise, but looking back there isn't a whole lot that could have made it better; I think that I'm just not the cruising type. I...

Pros: Many meal choices, spacious room, great views
Cons: Poor service, 50/50 chance at good food

We were given a cruise to Alaska aboard NCL’s Norweigan Star in August of 2005. My expectations were very low because my one prior experience with cruising taught me not to expect much from cruise service or dining. NCL made sure that my low ...
