What can I say about this ship that hasn't already been said? It's not for everyone due to it's…read moresmall size. We weren't in love with our suite experience. With that said, it was the excellent service received and the itinerary that won us over. First of all, I'm not sure how anyone can really judge NCL strictly from one sailing on the 2nd to the oldest ship in the fleet. Yes, it's even older than the Norwegian Epic. Ha! Our expectations were low from the day we booked this cruise. That may be why we have a totally different perspective. We've seen the best that NCL has to offer (The Haven), and now we've seen the lower end of the spectrum for suite guests. It was a good experience despite the size and age of the ship. At the same time, I can see why people love it or hate it. I'll start with the negative and end with the positive. I hated the Northern Crown Suite's (9201) master bath. I think I'm just spoiled by the newer bathroom setups on other NCL ships. It was clean, but very cramped and outdated. It wasn't picture worthy. There was also a musty smell coming from the shower drain. Thankfully, the L'Occitane products made it all disappear while in use. On a brighter note, the shower pressure was outstanding. Yay! The hot tub on the balcony is also old & outdated. It looks more like a jacuzzi bathtub. You might want to book the 8th deck counterpart that has a larger hot tub. In all fairness, we didn't get to use it. The weather was unseasonably cold for the month of May in Northernn Europe. It just took up a lot of space on a balcony that's already crowded with outdoor furniture. Honestly though, it was probably one of the nicer rooms on the ship. The rest of the room was very comfortable and somewhat spacious. We slept very well and that's really all that matters. Having a separate half bath by the entrance was a nice perk as well. I'm giving this ship a 4-star review for other things that made this cruise so special. Our Concierge, Cabin Attendant, & Butler were all amazing. I hope to see them all again on other NCL ships in the near future. This ship will be transitioning to Cordelia Cruises towards the end of the year. I think the Sky will be missed. There aren't many cruise ships left of this size in the fleet. I love the conveniences that smaller ships have to offer. It was so easy disembarking at port of calls even without priority. I think we only had about 1200 passengers onboard. The elevators were rarely full. The stairs are easily accessed because you're only utilizing 8 decks. The ship's size is also ideal for navigating through rivers such as the Thames and the Elbe. It was the first time we've ever heard the 3 warning blasts from a cruise ship. The sailboats in front of us scattered quickly away after they heard it. How's that for excitement? I absolutely love the jogging/walking track on Deck 6. It was like being transported back into another time. There are mirrors on each corner as you make your way to the back of the ship. They were very useful in peeking around the inside corners to prevent people from accidentally running into others coming from the opposite direction. We used this track a lot while at sea. It was fun! Also, the fitness area was very well equipped with beautiful sea views. It was just another alternative when it was too cold and windy on deck. The food was pretty average. We dined in the MDR for the first time. It was better than expected. The buffet was just okay. We liked the crepes station the best. The specialty dining was average as well. I think the Sugarcane Mojito Bar probably wowed us the most. The newer Prima Class ships don't have this bar. So, I'm ending again on another high note. TL;DR - Would I book a cruise on a ship of this size again? Well, it depends on the itinerary. I must admit that Norwegian Sky looks kind of cute wearing a lei on her hull. She was once named the "Pride of Aloha" during her heyday in Hawaii. Her crew loves her. I could tell by the many conversations we had with each one that we encountered during our week long cruise. We can totally see why she's won the hearts of many after finally experiencing it for ourselves. Hopefully others will get an even better experience when she's the Cordelia Sky.

I actually liked the "free style cruising", which is being able to go to the restaurants any time you want instead of a set time. 2. The ship was clean. 3. The shows were entertaining and there were plenty of things to do around the ship. 4. The cruise staff was great. They were friendly and entertaining. Bad: 1. The food was "meh". The food had no "wow" factor. It felt like I was eating at Old Country Buffet. This includes the free dine-in restaurants. 2. The buffet area was too small and there wasn't a good variety. 3. There wasn't enough water fountains in the buffet areas. I didn't like having to wait in lines to get my water. Overall, I had a great time, except the food. I've only been on one other cruise ship, the Royal Caribbean Majesty of the Seas. I thought the food on the Majesty of the Seas was 10x better.

When hubby and I began researching to put together a trip to Greece, nothing that was being offered…read moreappealed to us. We wanted to see Athens, with maybe a side trip to Santorini. We did not want to spend 8 hours getting to the small island (and another 8 hours getting back to Athens). We only had 10 days, including travel time. Taking a few tours was fine, but we also wanted to do some sightseeing on our own. We had 7 people that included children and needed accommodations for 4 in one room and 3 in another. So, I reached out to my pal Taimy to see what she could put together for us. And our trip turned out to be the perfect combination of guided tours (when needed) as well as some sightseeing on our own. The hotel in Athens was great: the location was perfect and the staff and service were superb. The tour guides that we had, for the most part, were excellent. (Shout-out to Theo from Getaways and Mary from Top Santorini Tours.) Taimy was available to us throughout the planning process and while we were on the trip. (We had one flight cancelled and had to scramble to rearrange our itinerary.) She also takes criticism well. (I hated the fact that most of the vouchers and tickets were electronic and wanted to be able to print them.) I would add a half star for 4 1/2 stars, but Yelp doesn't offer that option. We had a great time in Greece. Thanks, Taimy, for a picture perfect vacation. (I took many photos. But the attached were among my favorites.)
