Review summary
This being my fifth cruise and first with Norwegian, overall, it was a great trip. The staff was wonderful; the atmosphere was great; the decor, art, and live music on the boat was phenomenal; the food was great, but I have had better with other cruise lines. What I did not like about the freestyle cruising was that by reading advertisements and NCL's webpage, I booked this trip thinking all the specialty restaurants: the sushi, the steak house, the French, restaurants, etc. were included, but were actually an average of $15 to dine in; for four of us to bowl for an hour, it was $40; and bingo was out of the question because the cheapest buy-in was about $30 while with other cruise lines you can usually get cheap tickets for about $5. The other thing is that I would not recommend bringing your kids from ages 18-20, unless they want to go to bed right after dinner because while NCL catered to teens with there teen club and 21 and over in there Bliss Night Club and other bars, there was really nothing for 18-20 year olds to do on the boat, but lay out by the pool during the day or go to the casino, but lets face it, unless you have enough money to drop on gambling, slots aren't all that exciting.Ports of call
Pros: the ship and staff were great
Cons: having to pay for individual parts of the boat
Recommends Norwegian Pearl? Yes!
