I went down with 7 people for a quick getaway. The ship had a $180 a person inside cabin which included the free drink package. Several of our people chose this and were very happy. My wife and I got a balcony suite with drinks and the internet for about $300 a person. The balcony was excellent and the room was well maintained. I have been on 7 cruises and this was MUCH better than ...

I recently had the opportunity to take a cruise on the Norwegian Pearl. I sailed on January 25th on a 4-day cruise to Cozumel Mexico. I had high expectations for this cruise, as I’ve heard nothing but good things from everyone who I talked to about Norwegian in the past. I took all the necessary steps and prepared myself for this cruise by booking everything so that it would flow easily. I flew ...

We chose this as a quick escape from Winter and this was the perfect 4-day Getaway. The boat was amazing and very clean, modern, up-to-date. Our room was probably the best room we've ever had on any cruise. It was small, but very nice and comfy. The food was delicious! I mean, really, off the charts yummy. We used the ultimate dinner package and mostly dined at the smaller restaurants. Le ...

I thought NCL was supposed to be super kid friendly...

Where did I get that idea? We sailed with our 4 and 6 year old sons for the first time and were really looking forward to some mommy and daddy time, and we got some, but not nearly enough. The kids program closes from 12-2 and from 5-7 which is actually a REALLY long time when they are bored and there is nothing for them to do. Was SUPER inconvenient and I will never travel on a ship with these ...

I cruised the Norwegian Pearl last week to Ocho Rios and Key West. It was the worst of the 8 cruises that I have been on. It took 2 hours and 45 minutes to board. We waited in the hot sun, not knowing were the end of the line was as there were no NCL personnel available. After a woman passed out they gave us water. The shore excursions were not as advertised. We did the horseback riding which ...

Went on the 5 night Jamaica/Key West Cruise from Miami. Thoughts by category. Ship: Feels Old and fairly Dated.. surprising that is was given it was suppose to be renovated in 2013. Was ok clean, but just very old. Embarkation: HORRIBLE!! Took almost 2 hours in a longgggg line just to get on the boat.. Completely Unacceptable. Food: TERRIBLE! Main Dining Hall and Buffet had very ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Choose NCL based on approval ratings, a personal recommendation, destination and price. Embarking was an unpleasant experience. With priority boarding I expected more of a flare. We were directed to a roped off area where snacks were set out but there was inadequate seating. Not what I would have called special at all. We stayed in a penthouse suite with butler service. We met the butler for ...

This was our second cruise with Norwegian (and second total). We chose it for the length, price and because we had never been to either of the ports (Ocho Rios, Jamaica and Key West, FL). Embarkation was terrible. Port of Miami directions driving into the luggage drop area where the Pearl was docked were very poorly labeled and then there was a haphazard swirling line with no clear direction ...

Let me start with the good things. The ship was beautiful and very clean, not just the cabin but all public areas too. The food was very good with excellent service at all the restaurants. The bars were good too but I would suggest they put more bartenders and servers in the popular areas like the pool. The entertainment was good but the show Uptown is a must see. All in all we had a great time, ...

I chose this cruise for a few good reasons: perfect length for a short girls getaway, great pricing, great booking perks, and prior experiences with NCL. However, to my surprise, this cruise did not meet my expectations. I was hoping embarkation was not going to be a preview of my cruise, however, I was totally wrong. Embarkation started in a tent without air conditioning and boarding never ...
