Review summary

The weather was perfect and the excursions were great. Alaska should be on your to do list.

As a Veteran, I got very upset because of the way we were treated after our allotted one hour Social which was in a small, noisy area with about 14 of us all scrunched in together. I noticed the LBGT people had a scheduled meeting every day and no activity afterwords to run them out. Evidently LGBT is more important than us Veterans!

The Buffet was good but Seafood night was lacking.

I like the size of the Pearl and layout. The staff were exceptional as was the cleanliness of the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The stateroom was great. Lots of hangar space and folded clothes storage. Unload you suitcases and store them on the floor in the closet. Our Steward knew us by name and always greeted us in the hallway.

Ship tip

We found the Summer Palace was a great place for any meal.

Other than that we loved the crew, the shows, the food and the ship. Going on the Jewel this month and check out the Pearl's sister.

My husband would agree. We sailed the Pearl August 2015 and he as an Air Force vet was disappointed that here was only one get together. And he was the one that suggested to the officer that attended that NCL should buy them a round of drinks. They did oblige, but that was the end of it. I found out later that we could have requested for another meet up to be posted in the Freestlye Daily.
