I sailed on the Norwegian Pearl from Friday, April 11th through April 18th on her Western Caribbean route.

BACKGROUND

I took this cruise with my DH and another couple, all of us in our mid-30s with kids that we left at home with grandparents. This is my 8th cruise. My first was on a Disney ship back when I was 10 years old. I didn’t cruise again until 2005 when I sailed on a Princess cruise. In February 2006, I took my first Norwegian cruise aboard the Sun (Eastern Caribbean) with 6 other friends, one of whom eventually became my DH. For our honeymoon in October 2007, we sailed on the Pride of Hawaii (7 day Hawaii cruise). Then we celebrated our first anniversary aboard the Norwegian Pearl (Western Caribbean) in 2008. In November 2011, my DH and I took a short 5 day jaunt on the Dawn. Then in 2012, we ventured over to Carnival aboard the Dream, sailing the Eastern Caribbean with my parents, my brother and his family, my sister, and my DH and 18 month old DS. The couple we traveled with for this cruise aboard the Pearl had never cruised before. Read more
