Only at the bar? Darn! Ah well....thank you all for the information!

Sailing on the Sky in a couple of days and they have the unlimited beverage package for everyone. Being diabetic, I won't be partaking of the alcohol but rather the Diet Pepsi. Does anyone know if you are allowed to fill your own bottle or cup at the soda fountains to take around with you?

Thanks!

Great! Thank you!

Hopefully this helps!

It does! Thank you! By the way, do you (or does anyone else) know if dinner menus are available ahead of time like on their app?

I know the Sky has two main dining rooms and freestyle dining, but I've never experienced that before. I saw an option for making a reservation with the app, but do we have to do that or can we just show up and be seated whenever?

Also, are there formal dining nights?

Thank you for the help! We sail a week from Wednesday!

The upgrade bids aren’t automatic..it could take days or weeks for them to decide to accept or not. 

I understand that. The problem is that it was not letting me (or other users) bid at all, even after receiving an invitation. It took us through the whole process but would never finalize the bid.

Thanks for the info on using the app on board, everyone!

As for the NCL website, it hasn't matter which browser I'm using. And others had the same issue around the time I was trying to bid on an upgrade. 

The only other line I've been on was Carnival, and I loved their app, especially while on board. Does anyone know if the NCL can be accessed for free on board like that? Or do you have to have one of the internet packages (which I'm not going to get)?

Thanks for the suggestion, but it was a no go. Different browsers didn't work. And the NCL app didn't work. However, the next day I was able to finally get them booked. It's just frustrating.

I'm getting a little tired of the NCL website never working when I want to plan or purchase something. First, it took several DAYS before it would accept my bid on an upgrade after they offered me the opportunity. Now I have excursions in my shopping cart and go through the entire payment process only to have it go right back to my cart and want me to start the payment process again. I've done it twice now. Really..it shouldn't be that hard to allow me to buy something from them. Anyone else have trouble with the site lately?

Me too. I'm looking for a quiet beach experience...not interested in noise, music, playing, etc.

Got it! Thank you!

Looks like we dock at Pier B. Outer Mole is still closed for repairs, no?

Thank you, keywestcruiser! You're the best! 🙂

Last year we had a shore excursion on Carnival, and a little train took us from the pier into town and also brought us back later. Not sure if that was specific to the excursion or even to Carnival. If we do not do an excursion in Key West, is there any complimentary transportation into town and back like that for Norwegian?

Good advice! Thank you! Probably worth paying for on ship, although it's about five times what Carnival charges for the same thing. 😕

When I did this last year, I used MJS. It was cheap and they offered great service. 

Hello! Cruising at the end of February on the Sky and spending a day each in Freeport, Key West, Great Stirrup Cay, and Nassau. I'm debating whether or not to get the social media package. Can anyone tell me if I would be able to get good signals and/or wifi while in each of these ports? If so, I suppose I could do all of my posting and uploading during those times.

Thank  you for any help!

Thanks for this review! I will be taking this route on the Sky at the end of February! Good to know some details!

Just off the Sky:

 

 

50 percent chance that Wind will keep you out of Great Stirrup Cay this time of year...  we couldn't make it this trip.

No big deal cuz they make a great sea day with special previously unscheduled events...

.

I sure hope we get to go to GSC. But it helps to know in advance that it might not be possible...helps us keep our expectations low so maybe we'll be happily surprised! 🙂

We are going on the Sky on Wednesday for the exact same cruise, so will post a new thread with photos and info when I get back.  Return MLK day.

 

Stay tuned...

Awesome! Can't wait to hear your report! Have a great time!

Thank you for the updated posts with information and suggestions, everyone! We surely do appreciate all of the advice we can get! Thank you for sharing your experience with the less experienced...aka me! 🙂

Thank you so much! Just looking for that extra little confirmation to make us feel more comfortable. 🙂

Does anyone have any experience taking an Uber from a hotel in Miami to the Fort Lauderdale airport early in the morning...say before 7? It would be Tuesday morning, March 5. I've done the fare estimate on Uber...just wondering if there would be drivers available that early willing to make that run and about how long it might take on a Tuesday morning?

Great info! Thank you both!
