We needed an early escape from the upcoming winter season, and away from the hassle of cooking Thanksgiving dinner wasn’t a bad escuse either ;-) The Pearl had been refurbished since our last sailing and they did a great job on the new furnishings, especially the TV in the cabin. The housekeeping staff worked quickly and quietly (we saw our cabin person on the fist and last day, just like we love it). The buffet area, and the rest of the ship were always kept clean. The excursions were easy to order via the TV, and all ground teams were fantastic. We ate at Cagney Steakhouse on the last night, and the steak was very tasty, We especially loved the traditional Thanksgiving dinner with all the side dishes, and of course the decadent desserts. The shows were great, especially liked the Tina Turner performer! Great route for a low key week of FUN.
