Review summary

We sailed to Alaska on Norwegian's Pearl. Wonderful crew and sailing experience. The ship was luxurious, especially loved one of the main dining rooms, The Summer Palace.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
We loved the freestyle dining and ate in one of the two main dining rooms except for two meals. The Summer Palace was opulent and the attention of the wait staff was more than what we expected.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We had several choices for all types of entertainment and we loved the quality of the entertainers!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We were treated great by all staff that we met. Our stateroom stewards were awesome.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The size was perfect, not too big, but not too small. The public areas were clean and the decor was very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The size was adequate, enough for two people, plus we had a balcony that made the trip even more special. Too bad they don't have non-smoking rooms. The smell is hard to get out of the rooms.

Ports of call

Prince Rupert, British Columbia

Not a lot to do that wasn't expensive. The shopping was so so. Would not have minded if we had missed this port.

Ketchikan, Alaska

We took the Bering Sea fisherman's tour. It was good, but a little cheesy. We were expecting more. We wish we had gone to the Lumberjack show.
Don't Miss: The Lumberjack show was apparently top notch.

Juneau, Alaska

We went to the Mendanhall Glacier and it was spectacular! The waterfall is worth the walk back towards the glacier.
Don't Miss: Mendanhall Glacier

Skagway, Alaska

Don't Miss: The train ride.

Pros: The freestyle dining.
