Norwegian Pearl Reviews

Overall and excellent ship with great food, drink and attentive staff. Entertainment was however dusappointing. The evening shows were of a low standard compared to those we have experienced on several P&O cruises. There were also no expert speakers on sea days. (but numerous presentations by people attempting to sell things)

Embarkation process was a shambles in Istanbul. No control over timed embarkations so took 2 hours to board. However cruise itself was very enjoyable. Excellent service and food. Entertainment was ok - not great variety. Cabin very compact and not great layout. Specialty restaurants were excellent. Ship was tired but was due for a refurb. Really good variety of stops in the Med.

very nice ship. would book norwegian again although the entertainment i would rate as poor. the excursions we took were great. and the transport from ship to town were always free where applicable. cabin was ok but smaller than we have had on other cruises so would look at alternatives next time. food was ok. the speciality restaurants were good. i would recommend the more at sea package. we dont drink mega amounts but with the trips and restaurants it worked out well for us.

Very friendly, good amazing, apart from the Irish bar where it wasn't much good, schedule was amazing, many lovely ports, onboard was amazing great décor, , will definitely go with NCL again

Staff were great, and the food was very good. Unfortunately the entertainment in the theatre let it down. The shows were mostly at 8 pm which is the most popular time to have your evening meal. I found it cold in the bars. Took a couple of dresses, but it was too cold to wear them!

Not a bad ship but a little tired. Standard of food was slightly lower than we have had previously.

Excellent experience throughout except for the chaotic boarding at Istanbul,2 hour waiting,standing with no respite and exhausted when finally boarded.

Embarkation at the Istanbul cruise terminal was the only thing wrong/ bad on our cruise. The ship, Resteraunt & cabin was excellent. We wouldn’t start a cruise in Instanbul ever again with any cruise line

Great cruise around the Med on Norwegian Pearl. Can’t fault the staff or food, but the ship is looking a bit tired. Cabin, especially bathroom and balcony, showed severe signs of ware. Think she was going into dry dock after our cruise, so hope they titivate the cabins. NCL need to bring back the daily blue newsletters. They say they’re available via the app, but the WiFi was so appallingly bad that we could only access the app when off the ship or where there was a good phone signal. Iglu were excellent throughout. Only issue was in Barcelona when we were expecting a minibus transfer for 4 passengers plus luggage and they sent a Tesla saloon. It was very tight!

Entertainment was very basic. Shows only one performance per night. Poor organisation embarking ship as we should have had priority embarkation. Garden cafe very busy.
