Weren't sure what to expect on the Pearl, an older ship recently refurbished, after cruising on the newer ship, the Bliss. To our surprise, the completely sold out Pearl felt really comfortable. All common areas were well taken care of and the crews were fantastic. Entertainment much better than expected, kudos to the cast of Legend and the band for putting a great show. Service was fantastic whether at the bars or restaurants. Food was acceptable for the most part, except for the Moderno Churrascaria restaurant which was exceptional. All port of calls were good. Embarkation was a nightmare as it took us three hours to get on the ship. We were told this was no fault of NCL as arrival terminal was changed at the last minute. Overall, this was a quality cruise on a smaller refurbished ship which feels like a new ship. Will sail again on the Pearl.
