The staff on the Norwegian Pearl was very accomodating and friendly. There were always activities to take part in or choose to relax and take in the amazing scenery. The Summer Palace and Indigo restaurant both served wonderful meals and the Garden Cafe was great for getting a quick bite before the excursions. The Spinnaker Lounge on the top deck had a great view during the day and offered entertainment during the evening. The excursions offered were very diverse. I chose ones that gave me a glimpse into the Alaskan culture and their way of life both now and in the past but there were also ones offered for active individuals. During our day on Glacier Bay, the program offered on board by the National Park Service was outstanding. I had never been on a freestyle cruise before but Norwegian Cruise Lines is now my cruiseline of choice. I would do it all again tomorrow!!
