About our Bacon Score methodology
YouTube Video Description

We sailed on a 25-year old ship from Norwegian Cruise Line to see how one of the brand's oldest ships competes with newer ships on the market. And while we have LOTS to share in the video about what we loved (and we think you'll love, too!), NCL Sky has a lot of opportunities which we discuss. Some of these issues may not impact you as a cruiser based on your own preferences, so keep that in mind. If you're curious about the ship, the experience, or what it's like to sail Norwegian Cruise Line, check out our NCL Sky full review where we share videos and photos of the ship, venues, and various experiences on board. Have you sailed Norwegian Sky? What do you think about the items we loved? Or those that we didn't love/hated? Do you agree/disagree? Let us know in the comments! Norwegian Sky wasn't our first NCL ship. Mark sailed on Norwegian Encore late 2023 and shared his full review here: https://youtu.be/XLBGo6UFTps We love bringing you these full ship reviews. If you enjoy today's video, please go ahead and share it with others! As always, thanks for the never-ending support for this cruise life of ours! -Mark and Rocky #cruise #norwegiansky #nclsky #cruisereview #shipreview #ncl #norwegiancruiseline #cruisetips #travel
