We were traveling with four friends and all of us had a great time. We like doing longer cruises, five nights is too short.

Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Our butler, Peter, went well above and beyond to make our cruise wonderful. He anticipated our requests and was always there at a moment's notice. Anell, our server in La Bistro really made the dining experience even better. Anoop, the concierge, also enhanced our trip.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
This was our third cruise on the Pearl and is our favorite NCL ship. We have also sailed on other NCL mid sized ships (Dawn, Star, Jade and Gem) but like the Pearl the best. We much prefer to sail on the mid sized ships. We also have done two cruises on the NCL Epic and Escape, both mega ships, and think they are just way too big!
We also sailed on the Regent Mariner and think this ship was a bit too small.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We love the Haven Owner's Cabin. There is plenty of room and having two balconies ( afront one and side one) is surely a plus.
Ship tip
Book the Haven and be spoiled for the entire cruise.
We did the swim with the stingrays & snorkel. While meeting at the pier was disorganized, once we were underway it was a very enjoyable excursion. One I would recommend.
We were escorted off the by our concierge very early. Immediately got a porter to retrieve our luggage and breezed through customs. We had opted for valet parking so our car was retrieved in less than 5 minutes. This was the best disembarkation experience we have had.
