I had not sailed NCL in awhile and the NCL Pearl was a delight. Medium size ship with about 2,000 passengers. The ship was well appointed and clean. The crew could not have been more friendly and professional.
Meals in the main dining room (there are two), were very good. We especially liked the Summer Palace dining room and once we found it, we used it exclusively for ...
The cruise was excellent. The food was amazing in all complimentary restaurants. Water, iced tea, lemonade, fruit punch, coffee, tea, and hot chocolate were all included. Our cabin steward Supardi was great - all the staff were so helpful. I have only a few complaints: 1) We really loved the Seaside Duo, they were phenomenal and we tried to catch every show. They performend in the atrium mostly ...
I want to start this review off by saying that we were incredibly happy with the service onboard. The crew always stopped to talk or say hi, and always made guests feel comfortable. Personally, my favorite part was our room Steward Iris. She was so kind and made sure to take care of us through the entire time of our vacation. She always stopped to talk or answer a question. The shows and ...
This trip was my second cruise, but my first time on the Norwegian Pearl. I had so much fun and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a great time. The restaurants have amazing food and drinks plus there’s a variety of daily activities for all ages. As someone with celiac disease, I felt very safe while dining on board. Even the buffet has gluten free options, such as a separate prep ...
Most of my review compares our Royal Caribbean cruise in June on Oasis of the Seas with this trip. Overall, NCL did not have to deal with any covid restrictions while RC did for our last trip. The Oasis is bigger than the Breakaway. While less grand, the Breakaway was far more manageable for me to find things and get around.
Embark was great. Easy. Our App didn’t work in advance but they ...
What a fun ship and trip. We took our sister and husband on first cruise. Check-in to NYC was a breeze. Leaving the port on-time and seeing Lady Liberty was great. Weather cancelled Rhode island but every other port we arrived and left on-time.
Meals were great, desserts even better. Didn't have a drink package, but tipped the Bar21 bartenders early and was never without a drink, water or ...
Embarkation in Boston September 30, 2022
Went very smoothly ESPECIALLY as we were first cruise without pre-Covid Test requirement and ArriveCan requirement. Our check-in time was 10:00-10:30. We were onboard having lunch by 11:30 AM. After lunch we checked in to our Muster Station assignment.
Sail Away from Boston: Friday 9/30/22
We had our Roll Call Sail Away get together at 4-6 PM on ...
We loved the decor of the ship cream , blue and touches of gold - modern and beautiful.
The layout of the public spaces is clearly a change from what we expected as regular NCL cruises and not without problems. There are small spaces I guess to spread out passengers. Public areas were crowed with occupancy at 65%. In warm weather I think the spaces during the day will work well.
However the ...
I reserved my cruise with maryann from ncl casinos at sea. she is a delight to work with. because of previous sailings, i was given a discounted room. embartment was normal. from the time we arrived at the terminal until we entered our room took about 1/2 hour. we were in a family balcony room 12190. when we walked into the room, i can say it smelled new. i was concerned about the size of ...
