Review summary

Great time on the Pearl. Enjoyed the stops. Great that Norwegian now has an internet package that really works.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Embarkation was good. Went through security quickly. Processed in at counter with very little wait. The longest wait was between checking in and time when allowed to board ship.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate four times in Cagney's. This is our favorite restaurant. Steaks are good although my spouse ordered a medium well steak which she received burnt. Food was good in Summer Palace and Indigo. Loved eating breakfast and lunch in Summer Palace. Summer Palace for breakfast and lunch is relaxing and people are not running around like in Garden Cafe. Indigo is a hidden jewel for dinner. If eating at specialty restaurants made reservations BEFORE boarding.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
Did not participate in on board activities. Not that they are bad or not enjoyable. We just like to relax on the balcony.

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Entertainment should be greater quality.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Service on board was excellent. All questions were answers accurate and quickly. We requested an excursion which was not announced earlier. Excursion was sold out when we inquired. We were but on waiting list and 2 hours later we received tickets. Room steward was excellent. Got to know each other on first name basis, Tipped him extra for his service.
