Fair warning, this is a LONG and DETAILED review. I read lots of reviews but at 55, I have found to take most of them with a grain of salt. Everyone is different so you need to take away from reviews specifics that apply to you. I do not take any stock in reviews that make negative comments for things that are completely out of control by nature and certain things. People who complain that a ...
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 ...
This was my first cruise and I went with my grandmother and uncle. I was extremely nervous about rough waters. We did run into some rough waters, but fortunately, it wasn't too bad. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the cruise ship's staff. They were the kindest and most helpful people. The bartenders at O'Sheehan's were the best! They had us laughing, dancing and smiling every ...
You can't control the weather! The weather during the trip was awful with rain, fog and colder than average temperatures. We knew that the weather was going to be a crapshoot when we booked the cruise so although we were disappointed, it didn't ruin the trip for us. If I was doing it again, I would plan for early- June through mid-September for this itinerary when the weather would be a bit ...
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 ...
This cruise itinerary was excellent. Our cabin steward, Mr Rivera, was very accommodating with our schedule and very helpful. we discovered that a couple of things were not working in the cabin. We told him the same day we sailed from Miami and the issues were taken care that same night.
We had all of our evening meals at the Indigo Restaurant. Several people are worth mentioning; Singh ( I ...
We selected this cruise to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary and wanted to make it truly special. NCL came through on all fronts. The new Miami Port is spectacular and we were welcomed like royalty. There were plenty of food options from main dining to a pub to Asian fusion to specialty dining. The food was also hot on arrival, seasoned and delicious.
The entertainment was most ...
