Norwegian Pearl Review

Additional details
We are all experienced cruisers, having cruised on multiple lines including Carnival, Princess, and RCCL. I am a silver Latitudes member, and this was the eighth cruise I have taken on NCL.
Day 1: Embarkation
Our plane landed early and we were picked up by SAS Transportation a few minutes after we called them. We arrived shortly after 11 and got in line to be processed. At 12, they started allowing passengers on board, and we entered the ship around 12:30. After eating lunch in the dining room, I took the kids to the pool and they changed into their swim suits which we had placed in the carry on bags. At 2:00, we were allowed to go down to our room.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Oceanview Porthole Window
Our room was an outside cabin on Deck 4 with a porthole. We were very close to the gangplank and it was pleasant to not have to wait for an elevator with a crowd after an excursion. We could walk straight to our rooms. This was the first time I had had a porthole, and the kids would bring their friends in to see it. In addition to curtains, it had a locking round door. My grandson enjoyed closing it and locking it, so I had to open it on a regular basis.
