Review summary
Cruise was chosen for intinerary not for the ship. We were on the Pearl 2 yrs ago and it was showing its age. Going in for rehab in 2017 so I'm sure things will improve. I felt there was a lack of interesting things to do on sea days. Felt it was boring. Had some rough seas and wind so pools were closed but there was no plan "B" to keep people busy. Would like to see new ideas for activities. Nightly entertainment had a few good shows and others just so so. Some were the same as 2 yrs ago.
Cagneys was very good....ate there twice. Buffet was good for breakfast and lunch but was never thrilled with evening choices. Lots of ethnic foods that were not appealing to us.
Would i sail the Pearl again....yes but only after refurbishing.

Ship tip
Eat at Cagneys at least once. Be careful walking in Garden Cafe buffet as floor can become very slippery from spilled drinks.
