Review summary

My sister and I planned this cruise for nearly a year and frankly it was an epic fail! The ship was a huge disappointment. Food was bland. Water had to be purchased onboard only. Alcoholic drinks LACKED ANY ALCOHOL! TV had the same programs over and over. BEDS were horribly uncomfortable - I had a backache the entire cruise. Our cabin had a dangerous step up into the bathroom that I tripped over and nearly cracked my head on the sink - the warning on the door was so small as to be useless. Some of the staff were terribly rude. We even overheard one gentleman telling a group not to judge Norwegian by this particular cruise ship - well who is responsible if not Norwegian? I've cruised before and I'll probably cruise again, but NEVER WITH NCL!!!

Interesting. Never been on the Pearl, but I loved my cruise on the Norwegian Sky. NCL has the best staff and service!

Leaving on May 20 th🛳.. I’m so excited to see and enjoy Alaska - sad you had a bad time. I hope to hardly be in my cabin.

We just cruised on the Pearl in March. We had an amazing time! Staff was so friendly! Food was great. And if you failed to see the step up to the bathroom...that’s kind of on you. Lol. How could you miss it?

Cruised the Pearl to southern Caribbean did not experience the disappointment you did.

I sailed the Pearl on the Kid Rock cruise. Not impressed with the food but that’s not why I went. Our staff was awesome, lot’s of fun. Try Carnival for great food. Our drinks on the Pearl were fine. Hate your experience was so bad.

Interesting...We just did the Pearl in March and didn't have any of the issues you mentioned.
