Family Get-together
Party of 5 with 3 cabins. We were all to have 2 for 1 fares, with a Specialty Restaurant, 150 minutes WIFI/Internet, and $50 shore excursion credit. Unlike the other 2 cabins, we only received the 2 for 1 fare. Spoke with Guest Services and they had to get with HQ. Never got back to me. Went to Guest Services again and they stated HQ said they wouldn't do anything because it ...
The October 6, 2023, the New England cruise from Quebec City to Boston began on October 4 with the NCL BOGO air. The trip began at 6 am on United Air from Colorado Springs to Chicago. Late start with plane bathroom issues but arrived in time in Chicago for our connecting Air Canada flight. The Chicago flight loaded and had a delay of 20 minutes, then another 20, then everyone told to deplane, ...
Fair warning, this is a LONG and DETAILED review. I read lots of reviews but at 55, I have found to take most of them with a grain of salt. Everyone is different so you need to take away from reviews specifics that apply to you. I do not take any stock in reviews that make negative comments for things that are completely out of control by nature and certain things. People who complain that a ...
We chose this cruise due to itinery for a reasonable deal. We stayed 3 nights in Boston at the marriott on arrival which was good. On ship the buffet was poor quality and lacked choice so we ate in the various dining rooms which was excellent and staff lovely. The shows were OK but not great. Entertainment in the individual bars were better. Our only complaint was one out of our 3 trips to Peggy's ...
I'm a 66 YO solo cruiser who hasn't sailed since the start of the recent pandemic. My last cruise was aboard the Coral Princess in Feb '20, sailing from Santiago, Chile to Buenos Aires, Argentina. I booked this cruise for several reasons: 1. I haven't visited New England and Eastern Canada since the mid-70s, when I toured the region with a special needs group; 2. I wanted to sail from a port city ...
We (3 couples) chose this cruise for the canada/new england/fall foliage itinerary. The norweigen pearl is in great shape and the stateroom was comfortable and adequately served (once per day.) service on board was very good, a friendly and helpful staff by and large. Meals in the main dining room were very good, as was the specialty restaurant, la cucina. I didn't enjoy the teppanyaki dining: ...
This was our second trip on the Pearl. Previous trip was some years ago before the refurbishment. Since then things have changed. The entertainment requires some serious makeover. Karaoke most nights in the Bliss Lounge with only a handful of people was a let down. Best performance was by the Seaside Duo wherever they performed it was packed. The shows were average, we have seen much better on ...
Always wanted to visit Nova Scotia so we chose this cruise for our 50th Anniversary. Our primary issue was the VERY LOUD games and music from the public areas below O'Sheehan's and the Lotus Garden restaurants. Decided to dine often at the very quiet dining room at the rear of the ship. Excellent service and meal choices. O'Cagney's Steak House was also excellent. No Irish beer at ...
We live in SE MA, less than an hour's drive from Boston, and had been wanting to sail this itinerary for some time, as we wouldn't need to fly.
The embarkation day was rainy & dreary, but as we are Platinum members, we at least didn't have to wait too long to board. Our cruise routine is to never eat in the buffet on embarkation or disembarkation days...it always seems too busy, plus you ...
The ship is old and in desperate need of refurbishing. We got a great rate and feel that it was worth the fare we paid. Had we paid full fare I would have been very upset.
1. as per the title, the ship is in need of refurbishing, and a good cleaning, first ship I have been on where they are not constantly cleaning especially while in port.
2. club balcony small, wall to wall beds w/maybe ...
