Review summary
There are two standout areas that made our cruise a most enjoyable one. The first is the logistics of the cruise. From initial boarding through printed communication schedules about on-board and onshore activities, dining hours, etc, delivered to your cabin daily, and on through to disembarking, the organizational efficiency of the Pearl is very impressive. Attention to detail by the Pearl made this cruise truly a hassle free experience.
The second area is the service ethic of the employees on the pearl. With no exceptions we found all we encountered to be friendly, engaging and sincerely devoted to assuring that our needs were being met. Crew members originated from over 60 nationalities and we spent many minutes learning fascinating information about the homelands and the paths that led some to the Pearl. Interacting with the crew was an unanticipated but thoroughly enjoyable experience for us that enriched our cruise.
The cruise ventures through incredibly beautiful country, the onshore activities at the multiple stops were diverse and plentiful. Whether we went ashore or stayed on board we never experienced a dull moment. Did I mention the quality of the food? Egads!

Ship tip
We discovered and then chose to breakfast and lunch at The Great Outdoors on Deck 12 aft. Doing so put us out in the open and able to better experience the beautiful scenery as we cruised steadily on.
