We just returned from a cruise on the Norwegian Pearl. The cruise was 10 days on relaxation and great food. We got the package that included the specialty dining restaurants and were delighted we did. The food in each of these was excellent. We had a balcony stateroom and found it to be roomy and very well laid out. The crew as tremendous and the ship was great for relaxing. If you want a cruise ship that has lots of glitz and and big events or lots of kids events this is not the ship for you. If you want a relaxing cruise with lots of small areas for entertaining and great food this is the one to choose. The staff is wonderful, pool areas nice and entertainment very good. We will cruise on the Pearl again.
