Mexican Riviera Norwegian Pearl Mexican Riviera Cruise Reviews

ABOUT MY CRUISE: SHIP/NCL - PRE-BOOKING ITEMS - DON'T DO IT. As items you book are charged diectly to your card at time of booking the item(both excursions and fixed priced dining). I had thought it would all go thru my onboard account... WRONG. So it quicly got confusing when onboard I canceled my reservation for Moderno. They had no problem canceling. But only becaused I asked, did ...

Chose the cruise because we could see friends and relatives in the San Diego area, sail thru Panama Canal as I have always wanted to do, and then be back home in Florida. Came in a week early to see San Diego, but there was to much too see. Pacific Ocean was choppy, and so was the Caribbean, most than usual in Caribbean. Hurricane in Pacific prevented us from stopping at Cabo San Lucas. ...

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 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 ...

Cons -old cruise ship; framework inside hasn't changed -resulting from old design, passengers cannot navigate as easily as on modern ships - traveling portside corridors will not land you at the same places starboard. -soda package is a rip off. Soda will come from the bar fountain and at stations without a fountain, cans are used. However, you often get an old can (flat soda) because ...

I wanted to go through the Panama Canal The food was not up to the level I have been use to it was just so so They ran out of items before we reached out destination which is unacceptable The officers were not very friendly they were not around much and when they were very sour faced I did not see the captain accept at picture time I have been on other cruise lines where officers and the ...

The price was competitive, but I guess you get what you pay for! The cabin and food were good. We used wheelchairs and they definitely need more of them! It added more than an hour to embarkation and even more time for disembarkation. The guest services sold us the bus shuttle to the airport in New Orleans which was non-existent! (We ended up using a taxi), The cabin steward made up the room 2 ...

We wanted to enjoy a cruise and meet new friends. We sailed NCL previously and had credits to use on this cruise. Service desk, Cruise Director, photography, and entertainment staff were fabulous! Jim, the piano man, the Pearl Shipboard Band, and particularly Energy Plus, were more than any other cruise we have been on, they were absolutely THE BEST!!!!!!!! Be careful of the food, there is ...

We wanted to go to Acapulco to see the cliff divers and then to go through the canal. so we picked Norwegian Pearl as it went to both places. We did not know it was a reposition cruise. We flew into LA from DFW, spent the night near the port, and got over to the ship at 11:30 am. We got onboard fairly easily and headed up to the buffet for lunch. We were surprised to get to go to our room ...

This is our 4th NCL cruise totaling 75 days. The quality of the Pearl is definitely not up to the standards of the other ships that we have been on. For instance, our refrigerator in cabin didn't work, the safe was broken, our door keys had to be rekeyed, the food was a real disappointment compared to other cruises (example meatloaf 3 times.) Staff was great. Excursion in Puerto Chiapas- ...
