The lines were long but that was the port issue, not NCL's fault

Every one from our Butler Gary, the courtyard butler and our room steward were great. never saw anyone who was not smiling and enjoying their job.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We love the Pearl, this is our 5th cruise on here and already have one next one booked. The trans-Atlantic/Europe cruise in April/May of this year looked too good to pass up.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The stateroom was great. It was three rooms plus a balcony. We had chosen that room on purpose becaused we had stayed in it before and loved it. It has a Tub and a full size shower plus two sinks in the bathroom so lots of room and the bed faces a full size window so every morning when you wake up you have a great view! Our stateroom also had a Ginger Bread House in it loaded with candy.

Ship tip

Dont miss going to the Summer Palace restaurant. Lots of people miss out and it is included in the price so no extra cost.
