Norwegian Pearl

7 Night Alaska & Glacier Bay (Seattle Roundtrip)

Sail date: September 09, 2007

Ship: Norwegian Pearl

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Couple

Reviewed: 14 years ago

Review summary

Perfect. Thought the ship, crew, interior design and food was top rate. The only draw back was due to the cooler weather which forced everyone inside at meal time, making it almost impossible to find seating in the buffet area during meal time. We solved that by going to the main dining room for the remainder of our meals. There was always seating available there.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Liked the availability and choice of the "Cooking Light" feature. Cruises are a great place to try new foods, because if you don't care for it, you can request something to replace it. We tried several new things--and liked them.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
Thought there could have been more music involved. I think people always enjoy singing and dancing types of entertainment.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The staff was always friendly and ready to assist. Everyone was very capable. Our room stewards always had our room ready and waiting for us. It was nice to see our Captain out and about at times. I felt that he was enjoying himself just as much as we were.

I think the Butchard Gardens should not offer tours during evening hours, unless they have ample lighting, which they did not, or arrange the timing so that the ship can dock during daytime.

Pros: The food, of course.

Cons: Compared to our other NCL cruises, I thought the entertainment was not quite as professional as we have enjoyed in the past.

Recommends Norwegian Pearl? Yes!
