The Pearl Mist is a lovely ship that accommodates 200 people, with large staterooms and full-size bathrooms with a nice shower, and very comfortable beds and bedding. Plenty of storage and closet space. We were very happy with our room. It was quiet at night. We were in Room 508 where the elevator was part of the room, but we never heard it and it was convenient for us.

This trip caters to an older crowd, and that suited us fine, as it was quiet and relaxing. The elevator was very nice. The two large lounges were very comfortable with nice chairs and lots of couches. The library was excellent with lots of interesting books; National Geographic, etc. There are 3 computers onboard for internet use.

The food for all 3 meals was excellent, with a wide variety. Instead of a buffet like larger ships, we sat down at a table for 8 people and ordered our meals. Our waiter, Michael, was extraordinary and catered to our every need. For this reason, we stayed in his area the entire trip. Wine was served with dinner. There were warm cookies at 10 a.m. and tea time at 3 p.m. Snacks, drinks, and an espresso machine were available all day. Cocktail hour served delicious food and had an open bar. We never went hungry! Read more
