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: 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: 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:Excellent shows. Great ports of call. Delicious food! Cons: Indifferent staff, unimpressive ship, small cabins/bathrooms, overbearing salesmen!
I was at first hesitant to write a review about the Norwegian Sky until I took a second cruise this year with Carnival aboard the Inspiration. I realize that this review is a little late because I did in fact take that cruise at the turn...
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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 ...
Pros: simple layout, many elevators, good entertainment Cons: not very fancy, mediocre food, small cabins
After returning from a cruise to Alaska on the Norwegian Sky, I felt inclined to give my opinion. For those who like things to the point, my experience on this ship was just "average".
For everyone else, here's the long version. We arrived...
Pros: Great Service, Clean Rooms, Free Food, and Entertainment Cons: Drinks were a little expensive
At first, I was skeptical of a cruise vacation. I thought it would be too expensive, too crowded, too long. My wife really wanted to go, so I finally gave in and we were going on a cruise. We ended up picking to go on the Norwegian Sky cruise to Alaska,...
