Review summary

Jamaica is way overrated. Once you get off the beaten path the poverty of that island will overwhelm you. NCL (pearl) is a great ship with so many friendly workers. I would suggest the all inclusive beverage package, but the food is 5 star. I will diffently be booking another cruise on Norwegian...

we took clothes pins along which was smart. In the shower there was a clothes line and we could hang up our swim wear. We also ordered a case of water delivered to our room prior to departure. Water is not part of the beverage package and is expensive if you purchase it by the bottle. We took along dress attire but it's not necessary. You can wear shorts and flip flops everywhere.

Ship tip

Cagneys, porter house steak was my delight.

I believe you were unprepared for Jamaica. You were influenced by all the tourism material without paying attention to the real story. It's a Third World country, like MOST of the world that isn't Europe or Scandinavia. Try Mexico. You have to train your eyes to look at the beauty, overlook the misery. Leave your money there, trust you're buying the best coffee, the best jerk chicken, the best beer, the best music, the best woodcarving...

I've been on a few different cruises, and I've tried a few different lines & ships... I definitely would like to try the Norwegian line. Royal Caribbean has awesome ships... but way over crowded.
