Rare BirdTravels Posted September 3, 2017 Author #26 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Hi there! Thanks for doing this - I'm supposed to be on this sailing this coming Friday, any chance you could get your feelers out for me and see if they seem to have any idea what the plan is with Irma? Thanks so much! The crew doesn't know anything right now. And Irma continues to change paths as a major hurricane. NCL does a very good job in keeping its guests safe and comfortable. Guest don't always appreciate this. Last year, there was a near riot on the Breakaway when the captain changed itinerary after embarkation. If Irma continues on its most likely path, it will be directly over the Bahamas on Saturday as a major hurricane. Today May be the last Sky visit to GSC for a few weeks.

Yes.. this is what we figured. Going for a bachelorette party. We figure worst case scenario we hang in Miami as long as we can, best case scenario, were on a ship with an open bar. Our attitude has kinda been as long as the booze is flowing, we don't care where we're going! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesusuUK Posted September 3, 2017 #28 Share Posted September 3, 2017 How crowded is it? None of your pictures appear to show many passengers. Does it feel cramped at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sltrawick Posted September 3, 2017 #29 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Thanks for posting all the pictures etc. we leave Friday September 8 out of Miami on the NCL Sky to Bahamas. I hope anyway.

This is a Labor Day cruise and the ship was sold out. Everyone is in a party mood so it is all fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our attitude has kinda been as long as the booze is flowing, we don't care where we're going! Yes! Many people started at the top of the drink menu and tried to get to the bottom before sailaway. If the hurricane heads to the Bahamas, the ship will go west somewhere. Irma has been turning east, so hopefully it will stay clear of the Bahamas.

anonmom Posted September 24, 2017 #43 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Thanks so much for posting this! Very much looking forward to visiting GSC on our rerouted Escape cruise in December. One question, everyone always says that GSC is a tall private island and that the UBP works and there is complimentary food, etc. But this map talks about billing drinks to your ship account? They aren't changing to a Harvest Caye model, are they??? Good Morning GSC! Calm seas today. We are lucky, 6 for 6 getting to GSC. Irma may change things in a week Sent from my iPhone using Forums Sent from my Nexus 5X using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have a IBP, you pay by the drink,,,, like on the ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncklhaus Posted September 24, 2017 #46 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I really enjoyed your review and the menus. Anyone else read the menus and pick out what you'd order? I know I do. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted September 25, 2017 Author #49 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Is your beverage package active while you are ashore at GSC? The open, all inclusive bar on the Sky extends to the island. If you are on another ship, your UBP extends to the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
