Norwegian Pearl Tour & Review with The Legend 

I've sailed 3 times on this ship. All of these were full charter rock 'n' roll cruises, and the most recent was just last month. The performance venues included the main theater, the Spinnaker, Bar City, the atrium, and the pool deck where they drained and covered the main pool and set up a full outdoor concert stage complete with full sound and lights (that little gazebo became the control booth). Someone referred to our cruise as a 5-day Woodstock with beds, bathrooms, and food.... The muster on last month's cruise consisted of (a) pre-watching the video from home, and (b) reporting to the muster station, where our cards were scanned, and that was all. No sitting around in life jackets for an hour as on prior cruises. Easy-peasy. And I have to say, on our 2019 rock 'n' roll cruise (which was on a different ship and different cruise line but the same charter company) the muster drill turned out to be one of THE most epic moments EVER, and we hadn't even left the port of Miami. Right in the middle of muster (where our station was outdoors right next to a lifeboat) Alan Parsons, who was one of the guest artists on board, won his very first Grammy (in absentia). His wife (who was standing right next to me) was live-streaming the ceremony on her phone, in blatant disobedience to the "no cell phone use during muster" signs. Our entire muster station cheered for Alan. Not exactly a moment that could be repeated... but as I said, it was epic.

Just wanted to let you know that they changed the muster situation. I got what you're saying by the way I've been on about 25 cruises and you do definitely feel the age of this one but there are some charming things about it for sure. The destinations are definitely what the cruise is about. Starting it now and we are going to the DR twice, Aruba, Curacao, Tortola, St Thomas, and stirrup kay for 11 days.

I am a Norwegian fan! I have sailed on the Epic, Breakaway, Encore, Prima, and all are beautiful and a lot of fun. I will sail on Pearl on June 2024 and I have sen videos of it. I love that it looks like a trip to the past of cruising and this doesn't bother me at all. She looks beautiful and I will enjoy those 9 nights.

Thanks for the tour of the ship. It was excellent. We will be going on this ship later in the year for a heavy metal music festival. I can see this has a good set up with various places where live music can be played. Thanks for the video. I'm getting even more excited now.

Thanks for saying which restaurants where included and what they had, great video

Great video to share with friends! We cruised the NCL Pearl 3 times and are going again this year... very soon! You produced a wonderful video of the Pearl that show others what we enjoyed about the cruises. Last cruise in late October 2022, (our best time cruising ever) we met so many nice fellow cruisers and we hid 75 ducks... I found 3 of other peoples ducks. It is fun hiding ducks and watching people find them. #CruisingDucks, #NCLCruisingDucks. Enjoy 🦆🦆🦆

Great video thanks. 2 orders of pot stickers lol delicious. Will be sailing June into July

My first ever cruise was on the Pearl this past November Boston to Bermuda. We wanted to try a shorter cruise in case we didn't like cruising but had an amazing time. It was just the right size for first timers

Yes

Looking forward to the Summer of 99 cruise, on this ship!

Best tour of this ship. We miss Molly as you guys make a great team. Great job

My mom and dad are going on this cruse and omg I hope they have fun

I'm going to be on the Pearl in November, on the transatlantic from Spain to Miami! I'll have to see if the Cedar Point book is still there! Love me some Cedar Point.

Glad you posted this. Definitely an older looking ship that I’m not interested in, until a refurb. Bet you got an amazing deal! 👍🏻

I’ll be on the Norwegian pearl for the first time in November. I literally plan on living in the pool lol

Im going on the pearl this friday from Boston to my homeland Bermuda 🇧🇲 cant wait my hubby and i celebrating our 25th anniversary❤ great video

Best tour of this ship I've seen! And this is my cruise of choice, and will be doing Boston/Bermuda for the third time April 2023. I live in Boston, so it only takes about thirty minutes to get to the ship........I just won't fly anymore. The Pearl is the perfect size for me, and it's not a "family ship", so it's nice and quiet and relaxing. 😁

Great video! Can't wait to be back on the Pearl in March for the chartered 311 Cruise.

Beautiful ship... all the ships in this class from NCL are beautifully maintained. I have a personal favourite on the Jade, but I am sailing the Pearl on 11 night in Jan 2024 to ABC Islands. Just as excited. Amazing value on the more intimate ships also, and the pool sizes/pool deck size in general is amazing!

💪💪

Ham and sweet corn lol was that pineapple??? great video btw thanks for posting!

Out of all the cruises you have done, do you have a recommended cruise line/ship that gives you the best bang for your buck? Love your videos as always. Have a great day!

I have been on 32 cruises with NCL and sometimes I prefer the smaller ships like the Pearl. I am going on the Pearl this August when it goes to Maine and Nova Scotia. Can't wait!

Nice review. I miss molly

Hi, thank you so much for your helpful review! Would you recommend this one to families with 2 year old toddlers for a 7-day cruise? Thank you!

Going on this in feb 24- only Been on the carnival sunrise before so hoping this is a bit better. Hopefully A bit more to do, will be looking into the bigger newer ships for later on in the year or 2025 like encore or royals oasis/symphony

thanks for this! i was wondering, how’s the toiletry situation? is it like airport security or is it less strict? i’m not sure if i can bring bigger bottles of these things

I just got off the Pearl and I am sitting at the airport in Boston. I am sad to say I was not able to find the book in ship's library.

Got a Jay and Silent Bob cruise on the Pearl im going on in February. Can't wait.

next june for us….

Crazy you feel like it needs an update since it looks like you were on it right after they updated it haha

When recording the food you might consider adding more light. The images were very dark.

Thank you so much for well reviewed video. I am the first time cruiser. I have a question. When you eat at the main dining room(summer place or indigo) will there be extra gratuity?? I know I have to pay $20/day for gratuity. I am curious how that works. Please share your experience.

Going on this boat in august from boston to Bermuda first cruise ever and im going to ask my girlfriend of 4 years to marry me aswell as being there with her family this seems really cool im excited for the food and the views 😂😂

Not happy with ncl we can't make reservations at speciality restaurants the don't tell you they have a limited amount of spa packages. And I could go on with how disappointed I am and we haven't taken the cruise yet.

Washy washy!

There is a poker table right

where is molly?

I hear you saying it needs refurbished. Wasn't it refurbished in 2017?

I love your critiques of these cruises but the only thing I don't like about your videos is that when you show off the food you get but never tell us how it was, good or bad. Was it worth it?

Is this ship good for teenagers?

Couldn't hear a word you said when you were at the Asian restaurant, I kept playing that part of your video over and over and over too much background noise didn't hear a word you said☹

So going on cruises is just sitting around eating and drinking all day. Sounds boring to me.

Nice guide, HORRIBLE tech!! The crashing of dishware, other passengers' shouting... I couldn't take another minute.
