Norwegian Pearl Review

Additional details
We chose this cruise and cruise line to try something different. We had a group of 24 people go. We all had rooms relatively close so that was nice. We had kids from 12-19 and there was absolutely NOTHING for them to do! They were always bored and slept more than anything. There were really no activities for the kids to do. The dining options in the restaurants were always the same with VERY LITTLE change. Not many kid friendly dishes either. Portions were small (which I get, but Carnival did a much better job). Not many options for late night dining either. There was O'Sheehans bar and grill but when my 18 year old daughter tried to go eat at 11:15 at night (this is a 24 hour restaurant) the host said it was for adults only and nearly kicked her out, despite her being an adult. The food was pretty crappy. Often came out cold or not cooked correctly.
Cabin Review
Mid-Ship Inside
Small as expected. Porters kept it clean even when the kids got very messy. Although the hallways and rooms were pretty stinky.
Port Reviews
Seattle
Typical cruise port. Busy and not that clean. Many of the people working were fairly rude but it was a quick process.
Ketchikan
Just a big thing of shopping. Way too many jewelry stores (there had to be at least 15 of them in town if not more).
Victoria
Walked around town, many shops and places to eat but nothing special.
