Just returned from 11 days on the Pearl. Had a wonderful time! The staff were all very friendly and helpful. Our cabin steward was wonderful, our room was always spotless. The push button flush mechanisms on the toilets don't work well and ours had to be fixed. The maintenance man came promptly. We bought the Ultimate Dining Package and it was the best investment we ever made. Ate in all the specialty resturants once but went back Cagney's 4 times, Moderno twice and LeBistro twice. Service was excellent as was the food. I wish other lines offered this. The drink package was expensive and both people had to purchase. We ate in the Garden Cafe for breakfast and lunch. Lots of choices and good food. The seating was a bit crowded at times. Entertainment good, Oh What A Night Tribute wonderful. The ports of call were very nice and enjoyable. Did one ship shore excursion, the Eco Hike on St John's. Felt it was a bit more strenuous than described but had a good time. We had not cruised on NCL for many years but will certainly return in the future.
Room clean. Obstructed view but able to see the water. Lots of drawer space. Bathroom small, nice shower. Toilet area very small. Limited US channels on TV. Sports channels geared towards British & European passengers. Tough especially since it was during college football season.
