All we have to say is a huge OMG for our Thanksgiving cruise! This is the second time on the Pearl, and yes, she's in need of a few touch-ups here & there but ... we love her & the crew! Although we've traveled extensively thru the Carribean - these were all new & exciting ports for us - Columbia, Panama Canal, Coata Rica, Honduras, Belize & Costa Maya - with NCL excursions in each.

We flew in early & stayed in South Beach - great for just relaxing & roaming around to destress! We had secured cabin 9502 (forward suite) so we were welcomed with Priority boarding & lunch at Cagney's while waiting for our luggage! As always, the service was amazing & we were greeted with smiling faces - due to some mechanical situations & a emergency removed by ambulance (sad) - we departed Miami late but we had 2 wonderful & smooth days of sea & sun! We enjoyed our wine package & dining package (although we bought a 6 night package - we should have bought the 5 night package & just relaxed our dining in one night).

All the ports were safe & very clean. WiFi wasn't readily available (unlike Greece) - but we were able to buy 1 hour for $5 in Honduras - we didn't search much in bars or restaurants - enjoying excursions & scenery was more important to us. Read more
