Booked this three days prior to sailing. Close to home, easy vacation. Have sailed NCL in past, love Bermuda and Bar Harbor. Overall, great trip. Ship a bit older but a good size, easy to move around. Entertainment clustered on decks 6 and 7, with decent live music, casino (gross and smoky).and a great tribute and comedy show. Enjoyed all.
Staff could not be nicer, especially Raymond ...
This is the fourth time I have taken a Bermuda cruise with NCL, unfortunately, this was the most disappointing of the four. This was the first time on the NCL Pearl and while the ship was nice and the staff was exceptional there were a few areas that are not like they were in past sailings. First, the entertainment was a significant downgrade, in the past the nightly entertainment was excellent ...
We had a horrible experience with the service and the scams they run to get you to pay extra for everything. From the pool being shut down for 3 days, the rock wall not opening at all the entire week, the 2 hours to tender from bar harbor back to the boat because they didn't have enough tenders running, the arcade package scam, the extra charges they add to your bill for the spa, the room service ...
I came because it is a family cruise from a convenient port. Staff were all attentive and polite. The cabin was as expected for an interior cabin. Service in the restaurants was wonderful and most of the meals were very good.
My main complaint is the premium unlimited Wi-Fi. I paid $179. It did not work for 3 days. When I complained I was given a refund for only one day. The internet manager ...
First let me start by saying the cruise itself was a mostly pleasurable experience.
• starting with the easy check-in process, it was very smooth.
• the room was ready at approx. 3:00 p.m. With our luggage waiting for us.
• no more turn down service as was our many previous cruises.
• Dining room was pretty much hit and miss for dinner (the quality has gone down a bit)
• Lotus ...
This cruise was a gift. The outside room with a Balcony was wonderful. Roomy and definitely large enough for 2 adults. The food was average. I ate at Cagney Steakhouse and was disappointed. I make a tastier steak at home on the grill. The Brazilian restaurant was Good, especially because there is plenty of variety. I expected more shows than what was presented. The dance class was great. It ...
My husband booked this cruise for our 10-year wedding anniversary. We have cruised with 2 other cruise lines and had great expectations from NCL only to be disappointed. If you are Black /African American, this is not the cruise line for you. The entertainment does not include very much for the black race especially during the day. The 80"s theme party that is in the disco plays no music from ...
Originally chose it to cruise Maine. Felt the cruise line took that away from us. Food was equivalent to low budget restaurants. Felt once they had our money that they no longer cared about our comfort or happiness. My opinion is that it is a low budget cruise line with a higher end price. On our way to this vacation I read a list of the top ten cruise lines and Norwegian did not make this list. I ...
We chose Norwegian Pearl because we could park and leave from Boston. That being said getting on to cruise was easy, gate staff was wonderful and helpful. The ship looked pretty , the bartenders were short staffed which caused for very very long wait times for cocktails, the selection of activities on ship left a lot to be desired. The repetition of acts became very boring.
The food was ok , we ...
There's a first time for everything and this was our first time of many to come! It was a family reunion of sorts with about 20 of us. We met up every night (when not doing excursions or Specialty Dining) for dinner at Summer Palace. Delicious food and drinks there and everywhere we went! The staff in every restaurant and venue were amazing!
The ship's talent was second to none. Enjoyed the ...
