Junkanoo beach is NOT walking distance I learned the hard way but it was $8 round trip for the taxi $3 to get in and $3 for a chair but it was beautiful!! The water was cold when I went last week but it was pretty !!

I had been researching and reading the boards and doing my homework before the cruise to find the best price for an Atlantis day pass. Norwegian wanted $189 and the Bahamas website everyone talked about was $150 since we where unsure of the weather we did not book anything.

We talk a water taxi to paradise island and walked over to Atlantis the signs said $150 when I got up there to pay it was only $99!!!! I'm not sure why but I thought I hit the jackpot lol

An FYI that I didn't know Atlantis is cashless meaning there aren't many places that accept it so either bring a credit card or buy a pre paid card from them

Thank you for this post!! I was wavering between the Sky on 3/14 and the RC Majesty of the Seas. Paid a little more for the Majesty, but the spring breaker drunk fest was my deterrent! I feel Much better about the decision I made now!

lol you dodged a bullet

I was also on this sailing with my wife and 3 young children (Ages 12,11,9). I agree NCL should have told me when i booked. I thought it was to early for spring break. I spoke with the people from CPC (college party cruise). He told me be thankful it was this cruise (500college kids) the one next week is 800 and the one the week following will have 1500 of the 2000 people will be college kids. Can you imagine running in to that as a older couple or family with young small children.

 

It was so bad we spent almost no time on deck, we had to go to the pool at 8am in the morning if we wanted to use it at all which sucked for my kids.

 

I will say that the private island was amazing but the food there wasnt as good as it had been in the past.

i would have gone nuts for sure!!! im surprised there was only 500 it felt like so much more!!!

The food wasnt great on the ship i can get hamburgers and hot dogs anywhere i want lol i wasnt expecting much more from the private island

Sucks that they didnt warn anyone i felt bad for some of the young kids and the elderly couples :(

First of all DO NOT go on the sky in the month of March if you are not a spring break college kid looking to get trashed and party all day and night !!!

Thinking this was too early for spring break I didn't expect all the college kids, boy was I wrong. I'm 28 so it was manageable but I felt terrible for some of the older travelers, and families with children. I heard a lot of complaints and very unhappy people with the spring breakers. Some of the kids looked barely legal and guess what, a lot where !!!! 18-21 is allowed beer and wine and they definitely got there money's worth. You could barely get near the pool or hot tub's, and The bar lines were pretty long.

All over the pool deck there was games of flip cup, beer pong, and funnels and I'm glad they all had a great time buttttttt I wish I would have been aware of this before booking. Apparently there is a college spring break planning company that they all knew about because they where from all over the US.

The open bar for me was great, the cabin was decent, and the price was right. I enjoyed the ports. In Grand Bahamas island we went to Junkanoo beach, Nassau we visited Atlantis, Great Stirrup Cay was gorgeous!

All in all had a great time BUT be aware of spring breakers lol

Photo was at embarkation early on and this isn't even close to half of them !! Lol
