Review for a Caribbean - Western Cruise on Norwegian Pearl

Our family had s great time. The ship is well appointed with plenty of spaces not inside and outside to sit and relax. The ship felt very clean and well taken care of. Our cabin was comfortable and the food was good. Only a few minor complaints- While the staff wasn’t rude, they were not pleasant and friendly either. We really only encountered one waiter who seemed genuinely happy and interested ...

Tampa is a great town, I live there but I would suggest anyone who has time to take extra time to enjoy the city, you could stay for weeks and not do close to everything the city has to offer. Lots to do at or near the port if you just have hours to kill.
We got off to a late start due to the fog. We did not get out until around 2am. As a result our first port, harvest caye was cancelled. ...

My Wife and I enjoyed the cruise with Norweigen Cruise Lines. I have only cruised on Carnival until this last cruise. I will from now on prefer Norweigen over Carnival. The food was a huge improvement and the staff were very good as well. There were a lot of good things on the Pearl, just wished more pools we're available. The two pools they has we're always too crowded for my liking. Overall I ...

We were on the 'fog delay" New Year's sailing. That was a very trying experience, but was of no fault to NCL or the Pearl crew. NCL sent us numerous updates via text and phone calls. I have read reviews negating that, but be advised that the cruise line can only communicate via the information you provide to them. Be sure to have accurate phone numbers tied to your reservation! Most of the ...

I don't think I'll cruise with Norwegian again, and certainly not out of Tampa. There was not a lot that was better than other cruises I have been on in the past, and plenty that was much worse.
First of all, we were affected by a fog delay. Obviously, that part is not controllable by the cruise line, but their handling of the issue was terrible. We had separate reservations for three ...

Having only cruised Carnival in the past, for this trip we wanted to upgrade to another line. This cruise fit our needs... date, embarkment and ports visited. It was at the lower end of ship size we were looking for, but reviews were good
Due to fog in the port we left Tampa 10 hours late and missed our first port. We were given several small credits.
We loved the ship. The speciality ...

We chose this cruise based on dates available, visiting the Western Caribbean and flight prices.
We ported out of Tampa, FL. Our ship got stuck out at sea due to fog and could not come in on time. We were supposed to board at noon and didn’t board until about 11pm. Stuck in Tampa, never received text messages/update from Norwegian (others did) and had to get into line around 2pm. Sat on ...

Our trip started out with a 12 delay, no fault of Norwegians, there was fog in the Tampa area and the ship could not come into port. We finally boarded the ship about midnight. I truly expected them to greet us in an over the top way, due to us missing our entire first day on the ship, didn't happen, no music or any kind of special welcome. The food on this cruise was mediocre at best, sadly. We ...

My husband and I decided to take a Christmas trip with my family and to celebrate our honeymoon. We have sailed multiple times before, but this was our worst experience to date.
Check-in at the port terminal was total chaos and that chaos continued for the entire week. Getting on and off of the ship for shore excursions was a fiasco. At one port, we tendered to shore, only to be shoved into ...

After contacting Norwegian via their website and mailing a letter to corporate with no response, I have decided to post my review:
My husband and I are avid travelers, both nationally and internationally. We have utilized and booked with numerous companies and establishments. Norwegian came highly recommended and we were extremely excited to try a new cruise line. The lack of communication, ...
