Norwegian Pearl Cruise Reviews

I'm not the biggest cruiser, but compared to others, this cruise was pretty average. What made it below average for us was our three kids. The amenities were pretty abysmal, especially for kids. My kids were bored! They would post hours for activities and then not have them open at the appointed time. They closed down areas like the basketball court at 5pm. Onboard games like shuffleboard and ...

About the Reviewer: I’m a middle-aged American male who traveled solo on this, my 57th voyage. I have sailed primarily on NCL with over 30 voyages and a handful of cruises with Celebrity, Royal Caribbean, MSC and Carnival. This was my 32nd voyage with NCL and my first since major changes were implemented. My last NCL voyage was on the Norwegian Gem in January 2023. My last voyage before this ...

My husband and I wanted to try cruising out of Boston, a port local to us, and to try out Norwegian after already having sailed on Carnival (10 years ago to Canada from NYC) and Royal Caribbean (to Alaska last year). We travelled with another couple who were on their first cruise ever. We all enjoyed ourselves, aided by the mostly smooth sailing, pleasant weather, enjoyable itinerary, and great ...

I have traveled with Norwegian Cruises over several years the took 2 in 2019. COVID hit and did not book until this year. That being said, I was disappointed in the changes made on the Cruise to Bermuda. Many of the details that made Norwegian special had disappeared. No turning down of the bed at night, no creating of animals with the towels, only 3 rolls with dinner for a table with 4 people ...

Booked this three days prior to sailing. Close to home, easy vacation. Have sailed NCL in past, love Bermuda and Bar Harbor. Overall, great trip. Ship a bit older but a good size, easy to move around. Entertainment clustered on decks 6 and 7, with decent live music, casino (gross and smoky).and a great tribute and comedy show. Enjoyed all. Staff could not be nicer, especially Raymond ...

This is the fourth time I have taken a Bermuda cruise with NCL, unfortunately, this was the most disappointing of the four. This was the first time on the NCL Pearl and while the ship was nice and the staff was exceptional there were a few areas that are not like they were in past sailings. First, the entertainment was a significant downgrade, in the past the nightly entertainment was excellent ...

I came because it is a family cruise from a convenient port. Staff were all attentive and polite. The cabin was as expected for an interior cabin. Service in the restaurants was wonderful and most of the meals were very good. My main complaint is the premium unlimited Wi-Fi. I paid $179. It did not work for 3 days. When I complained I was given a refund for only one day. The internet manager ...

We had a horrible experience with the service and the scams they run to get you to pay extra for everything. From the pool being shut down for 3 days, the rock wall not opening at all the entire week, the 2 hours to tender from bar harbor back to the boat because they didn't have enough tenders running, the arcade package scam, the extra charges they add to your bill for the spa, the room service ...

First let me start by saying the cruise itself was a mostly pleasurable experience. • starting with the easy check-in process, it was very smooth. • the room was ready at approx. 3:00 p.m. With our luggage waiting for us. • no more turn down service as was our many previous cruises. • Dining room was pretty much hit and miss for dinner (the quality has gone down a bit) • Lotus ...

My husband booked this cruise for our 10-year wedding anniversary. We have cruised with 2 other cruise lines and had great expectations from NCL only to be disappointed. If you are Black /African American, this is not the cruise line for you. The entertainment does not include very much for the black race especially during the day. The 80"s theme party that is in the disco plays no music from ...
