Norwegian Pearl Review

Additional details
"Good grief...not a cruise!" I thought. I knew my wife had Alaska on her "bucket list". Then a friend talked about planning a cruise to Alaska.
I'd never been on a cruise. Given that I got seasick on the car ferry between Crete and Athens on the smooth-as-glass Mediterranean Sea, I did not embrace the idea of a cruise. I also am not a fan of "mandatory fun" and dress-up.
Embracing the carpe diem philosophy, I agreed to go. My wife dove into making the arrangements and before I knew it we were two weeks away from flying to Seattle from Tampa.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Mini-Suite with Balcony
Our mini-suite was fine. Important to have the blackout curtains as the sun came up way early in Alaska in June. We could probably have saved money by getting just a balcony room instead of a mini-suite. That was my fault but seeing a balcony room onboard, it was just a hair smaller. My biggest gripe was fairly insignificant. The TP holder in the bathroom was just low enough for me to bash my knee on it if I wasn't careful. Just another three inches up would have been perfect!
