The last large ship I was on was 45 years ago, it was big and grey and I landed an airplane on it and life was not that pleasurable as I remember it. Now 45 years later I thought it was time for a second chance. Unbelievable experience and I was sad to leave. I would have left again on the same cruise the next day if possible. 5 of us including 7 year old grand daughter enjoyed every aspect of our 7 day cruise. Outstanding crew and ship. First class treatment on every front. The ship was just the right size for the 2800 pax and 1000 crew members. Never crowded or even standing in line for anything. As everyone always says the food is outstanding. On the Pearl the food was magnificent . Every day meals were special everyday, and the special restaurants were really great. The crew was very tuned in to the needs of every passenger. I really enjoyed the Captain and officers Q and A sessions about the operation of this superb ship. Thank you.
