Review of NCL Sky, from Quebec City to Baltimore, October 2023, with suggestions for port activities

After more than 30 years of cruising on all the major cruise lines, I now think that Norwegian Cruise Lines has become the best value in the industry, especially for those who prefer to cruise solo.  While legacy cruise lines seem hostile to singles (usually charging solos 200%, but couples get a discount on the second passenger), NCL is the opposite and offers solo cruisers regular cabins with no ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 70s

I went with some friends celebrating a big birthday while at sea. It was my first cruise experience and I was very disappointed. My friends are experienced cruisers and they have a good frame of reference for the cleanliness, service and amenties and they too were disappointed. Our cabin was tiny and storage was nil. I had to live out of my suitcase shoved under the bed for a significant amount ...

Went with a group celebrating Sept. Anniversaries. Decided to go out of Baltimore, Md, our home port. Had a great cruise pkg, included air fare deal, or so we thought, 2 couples had the airfare deal, the rest didn't, poor communication on the part of the Norwegian booking agent, alot of issues there. The ship was clean the cabin stewards were great, the waiters and waitresses were awesome the ...

i chose this cruise hoping to see some fall foliage and the ports were either new for me or interesting stops in New England. We were a group of four and took the airfare offer thru Norwegian. I didn't realize that Norwegian would not notify us of our scheduled flight until about 30 days before the sale date. That was stressful as we didn't know what we could schedule on our day in Quebec City, ...

This was a 10 day cruise out of Quebec with stops in Sagunay, Charlottetown, Sydney, Portland, Boston, Martha's Vineyard, and ending in Baltimore. Due to hurricane Lee, we missed Sydney and Portland, then finally, on the only day that it wasn't raining, we skipped Martha's Vineyard due to "sea conditions and wind." It was a beautiful day, so now it's another two sea days. All told, in 10 days we ...

We picked this cruise as it was sold as 8 ports of call with only 2 days at sea, and it ended up being virtually the opposite - 7 days at sea. Rather than stay in port along the St. Lawrence, the Captain opted to go into the Atlantic and outrun Hurricane Lee. His actions appeared to be in the sole interest of getting the ship back to Balitmore to pick up the next 2,000 guests versus prioritizing ...

Was surprised at all the poor reviews of this ship. We had a wonderful experience. Middle aged couple with 40+ cruises, Platinum Status on NCL. We love the older ships because they look and feel like actual ships and we tend to avoid the new and glitzy 'floating hotels'. No shade, just a preference. The ship is 23 years old and clearly a 'training ship'. A lot of staff stated it was their ...

Baltimore: This was the first every NCL cruise from Baltimore and our first cruise on NCL (or from Baltimore). 10 days from Baltimore to Quebec with stops in Martha's Vineyard, Boston, Bar Harbor, Halifax, Sydney, Charlottetown, Saguenay, Quebec City (fly back from Montreal). Baltimore is both the closest port to us and by far the most chill. Super easy access. We parked at a hotel with ...

Having read so many reviews prior to our cruise I was honestly not looking forward to going at all but am so glad we did. The ship is older and smaller, the cabins are smaller but none of that impacted the overall vacation. The service was excellent, every member of staff we came into contact with was delightful. Everyone was helpful and smiling and we couldn't have been more pleased. The ...

Small cabins, limited dining options, shoddy port hours

So, I tried Norwegian for my birthday and Norwegian needs to do better. The dining is subpar. Even worse there a barely any restaurant options. The cabins are extremely small, really for one person, there were 3 of us. And to make things worse, we were at two of our ports of call for maybe 5 hrs! Oh and in addition to the very small cabins, if you want to watch TV, there are barely any channels to ...
