My Husband and I had the pleasure of sailing aboard the Norwegian Cruise Lines (NCL) Pearl for the third time to celebrate Christmas & New Years. We are an active middle aged couple we are avid cruisers (50+ cruises). We have sailed on most major cruise lines over the past twenty years. As we live in South Florida, we arrived at the Port of Miami about 11:30 AM via shuttle and breezed through embarkation. Although no reflection on NCL the TSA employees at the port could be better trained when dealing with the public.
We chose an Obstructed Oceanview Cabin on Deck 8 which we have stayed in the last 2 times on board the Pearl due to it being a very quiet deck. The cabin was appointed with all the normal necessities. Storage Space is quite good. The shower has a shower door which is always a plus. My wish list for this Cat cabin would be maybe a shower shaving bar for the ladies, better lighting (remember we are over 40) and maybe a lighted magnifying make up mirror.
NCL is on the move again with a "New Attitude". The New Attitude starts from the moment you board the ship. The crew and Officers were out an about ready and willing to assist with a smile. These are a few examples of our experiences;
