This was my first cruise ever and I was very nervous and didn't know what to expect so I did a lot of googling and found this website to be very helpful from what to pack to what to do on the ship to what to do on the islands and to what not to waste your time on!!! Norwegian cruise lines are too notch....loved the Pearl and had the best time....I am already planning my next cruise and cannot wait until the time comes to cruise again! Loved the white hot dance party, we did the bowling one night...also saw several of the shows which were entertaining...did the casino...don't expect to win though...spent a lot of time on the lido deck by the pool...listened to Jim the piano man in the lounge a few nights and sat in the atrium a few times as well..enjoyed deal or no deal as well as who wants to be a millionaire....participating in dancing like a Norwegian....didn't make it to very many dance parties as we were played out by that time of night...also enjoyed the karaoke! The ship was the perfect size...not too big and not too small...we did the behind the scenes tour which was really neat...recommend that tour! The crew and staff were fantastic! If you don't mind being in an inside cabin you definitely save a lot of money going that route especially since you are only there to sleep and to get ready!

Size was perfect for the 2 of us would not have wanted really anyone else in the room w/ us but we were only there to sleep and to shower and get ready!

Port Reviews

Miami

We stayed the day before at the circa 39 hotel highly recommend. Can get a good rate on Priceline.com also spent time on south beach which the hotel provides loungers. Took taxi right from hotel to the port was very easy!

St. Kitts (Port Zante)

Got a cab right at the port, took us to a gorgeous beach and gave us history along the way...asked when we wanted picked up, was there waiting for us...stopped at a couple of spots so we could get some gorgeous photos....the people on the island are so friendly...ate at the port before getting back on the ship....loved all the monkeys!

Martinique

We had arranged for a private tour ahead of time that we had found on the Internet...she was English speaking and she took us all over. We went to the volcano and to a gorge and to the beach and a restaurant on the beach....well worth it...they do everything in euros though which we were not prepared for luckily she had plenty on her and we were able to give her our American money!

Antigua

This place is known for its beaches and let me tell you they are gorgeous...we had an awesome cab driver that we got at the port...again he gave us history along the way and run punches...I failed to mention in my other reviews we had rum punches everywhere!! Yum yum! Beautiful scenery....friendly people...he picked us up when we requested, took us back to the port, did some shopping...again another fantastic time!

St. Thomas

We took a cab to the ferry to go over to St. John..snorkeled which was gorgeous!! Highly recommend!! Ferry runs every hour on the hour so you have to watch your time. Caught cab back to ferry...once back on st Thomas went to magans beach which is supposed to be one of the best beaches in the world....honestly was not that impressed...plus it cost a lot to get there and to get in...loved St. John
