Review summary

First time cruising with NCL and probably the last. The Pearl is in need of refurbishing, the ports of call are mostly bad and nothing to see and worst of all is the food, no variety and the same dishes with different names. We were lucky to have a dinning package to their specialty dinning were the food was great otherwise we would have not be able to have a good meal.

Going on "Sky" Jan 16. I like that ship more for getaways than "Getaway."

Dinning,     not a word related to eating, unless you are referring to a loud noise while dining.

 

extra credit:  Diner.   A roadside restaurant where travelers can stop and eat.  Also, any individual consuming a meal.

LOL

I watched them fantastic, do you plan on doing the same on your January cruise on the SKY. Food looked off the top. Ship was gorgeous.  2018 I would like to be on same cruise thanks.

So, "A diner is dining on dinner in the diner, but the din forced the diner to dine on his dinner in distress" is correct?

Despite our different opinion of how to spell "dining," we also differ on the food. It was NOT terrible, some of it was mediocre, some of it was excellent. I bet you skipped over the Indian dishes, like the butter chicken or tandoori chicken, right? I bet you never tried congee for breakfast, did you? DELICIOUS! Steak was steak. Service in the Summer Palace, Cagney's, Moderno, Le Bistro and Lotus Garden were all excellent. Not every dish was superb, but every dessert with chocolate was delectable. I also am willing to bet you read NOT ONE WORD about ANY of the ports-of-call including the Canal. You were unsophisticated about the beauties of each destination and you get you deserve.
