Norwegian Pearl Cruise Reviews - Reviews

In general, loved the ports of call (minus Greece). Kotor still is a thorn in my side. Really Really disappointed in how NCL handled the tendering operation and their lack of empathy or owning it. Just overall poor communication. Would consider other cruise operators first. Our RC experience was better.

The cruise was very smooth. We booked excursions outside of the ship as what we wanted was not offered, and those were terrific. The service and food on the ship was as good as usual, and the entertainment in the lounges was very enjoyable. We loved this itinerary!

The cruise line should have had good signage up to indicate where to go when you leave the ship and how to find entrance to the terminals when getting back to the ship in all the visited ports.

Wonderful cruise and even more wonderful itinerary.

Fall is a good time to take a Greek Isle cruise. The weather is nice and the crowds are manageable

Enjoyed our time on the Pearl. Good food. Clean ship.

We had a magnificent experience on the Breakaway in the Baltic. The pearl was noisy and poolside activities were loud and juvenile. NCL turned what could have been a super European cruise into a crappy Caribbean style Frat Party aimed at the 21-35 age group. Tender ports should be avoided. NCL could not organise the tenders from shore to ship. They put an effort into disembarkation but could care less about the chaos, queue jumping etc that went on at dockside for the return.

Great itinerary, very busy port days with limited time in port most days. No sea days made it very fast paced. Limited entertainment shows.

Revamp the amp. Royal Caribbean’s app is far and away better than NCL’s. I was never able to use the app. Wife’s worked but was a terrible experience.

We highly recommend this cruise. Every port is beautiful and definitely with exploring. I suggest staying a few days in Venice and a few in Athens to explore even more.

All was good. Some entertainment was better than others. Buffet was good but not great. Easy to disembark at ports. Would have been nice to have one day sailing and not disembarking.

If you are looking for a fancy cruise ship this isn't it but that wasn't important to us. Staff was great, entertainment was great, food was mediocre

In over a dozen cruise on a wide range of lines this was the absolute worst. Food served cold, unreasonably long waits for food in dining rooms. Poorly laid out ship, and the constant knowledge that NCL does care.

Not a lot of activities were provided and the interesting ones were in the busiest, loudest, and most crowded area on the ship. They were in the main desks are. We could never find seats. People parked themselves there for the day.

I was very pleased with the entire cruise. Top notch in every aspect. Crew members were the highest. Ship was super clean. Performers and staff above the clouds, this includes the lounges and bars.Super drinks poured at any location. I was sometimes embarrassed to be treated like I was. I cannot speak highly enough of this vacation!

Stops were great. The cruise/food was below average. Won’t ever cruise Norwegian again.

Overall it was a nice getaway. This was our 10th cruise since 2021. We have sailed princess, celebrity, royal, and one carnival. We wanted to try Norwegian. Slow service encouraged people to drink more as they would let them get bulk amounts of drinks. Yet you won’t give them a water bottle for free. We felt Norwegian nickel and dimed for many things. The private island is nice but everything was way overpriced. Overall it was not a bad trip, but for us Norwegian is not our style. Room was nice and ship was well maintained.

It was a great cruise the crew, itinerary, the food was wonderful. Not to mention we had great weather

Over all I enjoyed my cruise i only wished for a more friendly service

Extremely overcrowded, way too long of lines. We did not get to enjoy any of the amenities as the lines were way too long everywhere we went.
