Pretty good

Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

We originally chose the cruise because it went to the ports we wanted to see and we were able to get it for a pretty cheap price. This was my first NCL cruise and liked the fact that you could do things when you wanted and not on a schedule, including food and leaving. I was fairly happy with the stateroom staff...even though some things weren't stocked, they were always there after we let ...

We took this cruise for a number of reasons. One, it was over Christmas, two the destinations but most because it entered the Panama Canal. We were there Christmas day in the Canal and to wake up in the morning, entering the locks was one of the best Christmas presents anyone could have. The ship is in great shape and we did not meet any crew members who were not always smiling, always helpful and ...

My first cruise was Destiny with Carnival, second; Valor with Carnival, Third Freedom with Royal Caribbean and the fourth was Norwegian Pearl. I booked this cruise with my husband, some friends came from Puerto Rico. The embarkation was slowly but it something normal in this case. Now Norwegian is one of my favorites as you have the choice of going to the restaurant of your preference, the food ...

I'm sorry to have to report this was the worst experience on a cruise we have ever had. This is my 17th crusie and I've used several other crusie lines including a Norwegian crusie once before. From the start things we questionable. When going to a muster drill we asked a staff member where we were to muster. After looking at the fine print on his map we were directed to the wrong location. ...

We took this cruise over the Christmas holidays since it sailed into the panama canal along with three other ports. The food was above average in all the restaurants we dined in. The entertainment was above average compared to other cruise lines. Our room was great along with the butler and room steward. they only staff member who was lacking was the concierge and the main issue with that was she ...

I love Norwegian! I traveled with my aunt who is disabled and I was also on crutches. I love the ship, the people, the ports, the length of cruise! We were given a free upgrade to balcony, but this moved us from mid-ship to all the way forward. It was sometimes extremely difficult to go anywhere on the ship - especially meals, as all the dining options are mid-ship or aft! Perhaps I should ...

We have cruised on the Pearl several times and we have always enjoyed the smaller ship "feel" of it. The Pearl did not fail us this Christmas. And, as always, we attribute the success of NCL to the staff so I'll start there. Staff: We have sailed with Tony, Hotel Director, once before on the Pearl for Christmas and were elated to see him once again. He was warm, welcoming, and made us feel ...

This was our third cruise aboard the Norwegian Pearl. We chose this itinerary because it sailed into ports we have never visited. The ports we hit were Oranjestad, Aruba, Cartagena, Columbia, the Panama Canal and Colon, Panama, and Puerto Limon, Costa Rica. The cruise fare also included the Unlimited Beverage Package and Five meals at their Specialty restaurants Provided that we went on a ...

Overall, I gotta tell ya, this was a great cruise experience. The incredible crew, delicious foods and wonderful entertainment. We are both retired, in our 60s, excellent health and have many years of international travel experience. We booked this cruise at the very last minute to celebrate my birthday and to get away for the Christmas holiday as we'd done last year. Having cruised once before ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 50s

Excellent value for money cruise that started with a smooth embarkation process in Miami. Great mixture of ports of call the highlight being the Panama Canal transit & on-board ship narration plus cultural Cartagena, Costa Rica for nature lovers and beach activities of Roatan & Costa Maya interspersed with 4 days at sea to relax on-board and enjoy the ship. Mid-sized ship and although ...
