This was our 5th cruise, all previously on the Windsurf. We wanted to try one of the Windstar motor yachts and were pleased by the itinerary and departure from a U.S. port. Embarkation was seamless. And, although we could have encountered seas which were rough due to a storm in the area, it was exceptionally calm for the entire sailing.
The Star Pride is a gorgeous small ship - and only 180 ...
There's a first time for everything and this was our first time of many to come! It was a family reunion of sorts with about 20 of us. We met up every night (when not doing excursions or Specialty Dining) for dinner at Summer Palace. Delicious food and drinks there and everywhere we went! The staff in every restaurant and venue were amazing!
The ship's talent was second to none. Enjoyed the ...
This was my first cruise and I went with my grandmother and uncle. I was extremely nervous about rough waters. We did run into some rough waters, but fortunately, it wasn't too bad. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the cruise ship's staff. They were the kindest and most helpful people. The bartenders at O'Sheehan's were the best! They had us laughing, dancing and smiling every ...
You can't control the weather! The weather during the trip was awful with rain, fog and colder than average temperatures. We knew that the weather was going to be a crapshoot when we booked the cruise so although we were disappointed, it didn't ruin the trip for us. If I was doing it again, I would plan for early- June through mid-September for this itinerary when the weather would be a bit ...
I had not sailed NCL in awhile and the NCL Pearl was a delight. Medium size ship with about 2,000 passengers. The ship was well appointed and clean. The crew could not have been more friendly and professional.
Meals in the main dining room (there are two), were very good. We especially liked the Summer Palace dining room and once we found it, we used it exclusively for ...
The cruise was excellent. The food was amazing in all complimentary restaurants. Water, iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were all included. Our cabin steward Supardi was great - all the staff were so helpful. I have only a few complaints: 1) We really loved the Seaside Duo, they were phenomenal and we tried to catch every show. They performend in the atrium mostly ...
I want to start this review off by saying that we were incredibly happy with the service onboard. The crew always stopped to talk or say hi, and always made guests feel comfortable. Personally, my favorite part was our room Steward Iris. She was so kind and made sure to take care of us through the entire time of our vacation. She always stopped to talk or answer a question. The shows and ...
This trip was my second cruise, but my first time on the Norwegian Pearl. I had so much fun and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great time. The restaurants have amazing food and drinks plus there’s a variety of daily activities for all ages. As someone with celiac disease, I felt very safe while dining on board. Even the buffet has gluten free options, such as a separate prep ...
This was my first cruise. The staff was incredible, the food was great, and the only main complaint I have is that an extra day in Bermuda would have been better than the day in Maine in my opinion.
Shout out to Rico, Helio, & Chi Chi at the champagne bar. Fantastic Personality, all smiles, delicious drinks and made us feel like we've known them for years. Can't wait to book another ...
We have done this cruise many times on NCL, but this was our first time back since the pandemic. Like everyone else we were just so happy to be on the cruise, most were repeat customers lots of people from Massachusetts.
There was lots of hoops to jump through and lots of nail biting because of the pandemic, getting tested four days before, e-mailing the results and vaccination records to ...
