Review for a Panama Canal & Central America Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

I always wanted to go through the Panama Canal, its history fascinates me. I also wanted an extended cruise for a bit of "R&R". The price point was good but the on-board costs were disappointing. I feel NCL was in my pocket for every little thing.... a 1 liter bottle of Dasani was $6.60!!! Yes, $6.60 - outrageous. Kids video arcade games are $1.30 per game. Food was okay in the complimentary ...

This was a once in a life time deal to sail to the Panama Canal and see what it was all about. We have sailed on RCL and Princess in the past. Lots of factors involved in deciding on this cruise but location, timing and price where major factors. Not sure if "price point" is where NCL fits in but I somehow thought in my mind that we were signing up for a top notch cruise and we were both very ...

This was our fourth time travelling with Norwegian and for the first time we came back a little disappointed. Service, food and cabin were fine but we were particularly disappointed with the entertainment on the ship. We felt the groups and singers round the ship were nowhere near as strong as others we've been on and while the "specialist" entertainers were mixed to say the least. Some were ...

Excellent cruise, if you don't need solid structure.

I have cruised with Norwegian in the past. I like their "Freestyle" format. There is no set dining time, but you may make reservations for most of the restaurants. The buffets are more than enough to keep you satisfied, but the "Pub" and dining halls are complementary and a nice change. This cruise was more sea days than port days due to a storm, 5 ports for a 14 day cruise, we had to miss ...

We chose this cruise because we thought we were going to the Mexican Riviera but instead we were informed 1 hour after we left the port that because of a hurricane heading towards Mazatlan the cruise line was forced to revise our itinerary. We were informed that our new ports would be San Francisco, San Diego and Ensenada, Baja California. I had booked a total of 2 balcony cabins and 1 Haven ...

New ship...new destination because of Hurricane Wila

I selected this cruise for a look at the new ship, Bliss, and the warmth of the Mexican Riviera. I got only 1/2 of that promise fulfilled since Hurricane Wila prevented the Bliss from sailing south. So, while I saw the ship, I also saw San Francisco (I live 50 miles away and it is no big deal...or any deal to me), San Diego where I was stationed in the military, and Ensenada, which a friend ...

I chose this cruise because my travel agent organized it. From the cancelled ports of call to the dessert that tasted like compressed sand, the 157 minute dinner service, the elevators being too crowded to fit people resulting in long waits, broken hand towel machines, dirty restrooms, staterooms that resembled those of an RV and then everything being closed for a private event, and NCL catering ...

We paid over $6000 to do a cruise that took us from one California city to another where the temperature stayed below 60 degrees at every stop! We paid to go to Puerto Vallarta, Mazatlan and Cabo San Lucas and never saw either location! I watched the web cam from the day this ship arrived in L.A. from their Alaska itinerary and the first week you could see the Mexico locations. The second week the ...
