Our second cruise on the Pearl was equally as rewarding as the first.
Travel to Port & Embarkation
We had stayed the night before in South Beach, so the cab-ride was maybe 20 minutes and cost around $20 to the port. Embarkation was easy as well, with perhaps a thirty-minute wait on line followed by efficient security and check-in.

Aft-Facing mini-suite -- when you're sailing east/west as we did, you get to see sunsets, sunrises, and even moon-rises from your balcony. And little-to-no-wind. Heaven! Great storage, generous bathroom, extremely comfortable bed, and convenient sitting-area that can be curtained off. Only drawback is that this particular cabin is slightly smaller than a couple of its neighbors -- check with NCL at the time of booking. No noise from the Great Outdoors Cafe upstairs, and a quiet corridor outside with little foot-traffic.
