Review summary
PHYSICALLY THE NCL PEARL IS IMPRESSIVE. FOUR BOWLING LANES, ROCK CLIMBING BEAUTIFUL SPA. WHAT DISAPPOINTS IS THAT THE CREW CAN'T HANDLE IT. THE FOOD WAS A DISASTER. DUE TO CONCERN ABOUT VIRUS OUTBREAK THE CREW WAS ORDERED TO PERSONALLY SERVE EVERYTHING. THIS RESULTED IN LONG LINES FOR EVERYTHING FROM WATER TO CONDIMENTS. I'VE BEEN ON OTHER SHIPS WHERE CONCERN FOR HEALTH DID NOT DETRACT FROM THE CRUISE EXPERIENCE. NOT HERE. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH SEATS FOR BUFETT MEALSShip experiences
