The Pearl Mist is a great size ship, and cruising the Great Lakes was a nice change form the many Caribbean cruises we have taken.. I love the personal experience of the smaller ship. The staff was excellent, and the food was like eating at a 5 Star restaurant. The entertainment was fantastic and all of the ports were fun to see. The staff went out of their way to accommodate the people who ...
This was a cruise out of Toronto and which visited the following ports:
Port Colborne, Ontario (Gateway to Niagara Falls)
Cleveland, Ohio (Home of the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame)
Detroit, Michigan (Original home of Motown Records)
Parry Sound, Ontario (Delightful small town on Georgian Bay)
Midland, Ontario (Beautiful murals in the downtown)
Sault Ste Marie, Ontario (Home of ...
For a fun and different cruise, you should consider going on the Great Lakes cruise on the Pearl Mist with Pearl Cruises! My husband and I went on an 11 day cruise in May - June on the Pearl Mist leaving Toronto and arriving in Milwaukee.
All our experiences on the Pearl Mist were top rate. Many of the crew members have been with the ship since it started sailing in 2014 and it shows in their ...
I chose this cruise because of the size of the ship.. I really enjoy small ship cruising. We had less than 90 passengers. The crew was just spectacular andspectacular and made everyone of us feel that way that we were the most important person in the room. The itinerary was interesting... I have always wanted to see the Bay of Fundy. We even went to a lobster bake. Our nightly entertainment ...
For our first trip into unknown territory after Covid, we decided on a smaller river ship down the St. Lawrence Seaway. The PearlMist was the perfect size, about 100 rooms--every one of them with a balcony--and laid-back. We're not into a Las Vegas sized and style cruise. We much prefer a passenger experience that was manageable and comfortable. Pearl Mist provided it.
The good things about ...
When we booked our Pearl Seas cruise in March of 2022 the latest reviews were dated before the pandemic and, while they were mixed, there were several 5* ratings so we thought we’d give it a try. I checked back before our August sailing date and found nothing but negative comments. So, we prepared ourselves to be disappointed. Fortunately, our reality was very different.
We were pleased that ...
Having never seen The Great Lakes, nor traveled a small ship, I thought this selection was ideal. I was RIGHT! The concierge service by the staff and crew, the delicious and lavish meals, the delightful entertainment, intriguing lectures, and the variety of options for excursions were all second to none.
Each port was welcoming in their own community way. My travel companion and I felt like ...
The embarkation for this cruise was Milwaukee, WI, but that choice is not available on this form. The reverse trip is Toronto to Milwaukee. We took the cruise that ended in Toronto. The cruise is advertised as a Great Lakes tour.
This cruise is nothing like described in the brochure. Embarkation was chaotic, mostly because the staff didn't know what to do. The staff included everyone from ...
We have cruises with Pearl Seas multiple times and it never disappoints. The crew are delightful. The food is delicious. The itineraries are unique. And we love small ship cruising! We would recommend the Pearl Mist to anyone who loves to be spoiled and is looking for an alternative to big ships. We cruised Canada and New England, Panama Canal, and Cuba with them. The best part is returning to see ...
We chose Pearl Seas because its Great Lakes Itinerary had more Canadian ports than other cruise lines. We sailed 11 nights from Toronto to Milwaukee. But buyer beware! The cabins do not at all look like the photos in their online brochure.
Carpets and furnishings were faded and worn and very dated in style. The first night on board, our room heating system didn't work. Drawers were so ...
