We recently returned from a 7 day cruise onboard Norwegian Pearl. Although I’ve sailed with Norwegian Cruise Line, this was my first time cruising on one of NCL’s mid-sized cruise ships.
Norwegian Pearl was recently refurbished, and I was excited to see how this cruise ship looked after the updates! In this Norwegian Pearl cruise ship tour video, we do a detailed walkthrough of the interior and outside decks.
Come along as I show you around NCL Pearl - we explore the pool deck, sports court, the spa and thermal suite, public spaces and lounges, bars, casino, theater, specialty restaurants and the main dining room.
During this Norwegian Pearl ship tour and cruise review, we also take a look at the staterooms. All of Norwegian Pearl’s cabins have been completely updated and look brand new.
We tour inside cabins, ocean view cabins, balcony cabins and suites in Norwegian Pearl’s Haven. In recent cruise news, Norwegian Cruise Line has announced new solo cabins for Norwegian Pearl and other NCL ships. This is great news for solo cruisers!
Our cruise embarkation day was exciting as we boarded Norwegian Pearl for a 7 day Canada New England cruise from Boston to Quebec City. Boarding our cruise ship was fast and easy.
Before we knew it we were in Norwegian Pearl’s Crystal Atrium having our embarkation day mimosas!
We had NCL’s Premium Plus beverage package and were able to make great use of this drink package at all of Norwegian Pearl’s bars, including Bar City. We also enjoyed this Free at Sea upgrade as we often stopped in at Starbucks for coffee.
Throughout our time onboard Norwegian Pearl, we enjoyed the friendly and relaxed vibe of this Freestyle cruise!
This Norwegian Pearl cruise ship tour includes a walk-though and commentary of these areas of the mid-size cruise ship:
Crystal Atrium
Starbucks
O’Sheehan’s Bar & Grill
Main Pool Deck
Forward Sun Decks
Sports Court & Deck Games
The Great Outdoors
Garden Cafe Buffet

Spa Thermal Suite

My 15 year old daughter and I went on our 1st cruise on Norwegian Pearl in June, 2023. We enjoyed it! The only downside was the lido deck and pools were always full of children. We did not enjoy that. No place to sit as ppl saved the lounge chairs with towels. O'Sheehans was awesome! Loved all the restaurants.

On our NCL cruise to Quebec, we had two toddlers, two infants, and ONE teenager. I felt terrible for the teenager as I'm sure he was the only one at the teen club. I imagined him walking up to the DJ every 5 minutes saying "can you play Dancing with Myself again".

@@nurspreneurnaywe sailed with an 8 & 2 year old in the fall and they were pretty bored on the ship. It was too cold outside to swim and there wasn’t much to do in terms of activities for kids. We were going solely for the New England & Canadian ports and the excursions. It was definitely an older crowd for that itinerary for sure. So I would plan to bring toys and games for your kids. Admittedly I did not take the time to see if they had a kids club because we had no intention of leaving our children there, but I’m sure that’s an option for you if you desire :)

We're also doing the same cruise on the Pearl from 10/4 - 10/14. Just booked a few excursions and really excited to see Croatia and Greece. I lost count of the number of cruises we've been on but in the last five years it's always been on NCL. We last sailed on the Prima and were not thrilled with what felt like smaller public areas. Really excited to be on the Pearl as we cruised on the Jewel to Alaska in June of 2022 and really enjoyed it.

My first NCL cruise was in 2018 on the Jade. My sister and bil joined me and since cruise was to celebrate my 70th birthday, we splurged and booked 2 bedroom suite in the haven. Originally this was to be 10 day Southern Caribbean cruise, but due to a hurricane that hit all of the planned islands, the entire itinerary was changed and instead of visiting Barbados, St Lucia, etc, we ended up going to ABC islands, Grand Caymans and Jamaica. Had a glorious time and certainly took advantage of the free specialty restaurants on boars. Our favorite was LeBistro for sure! Size of the ship was just right and I can't imagine cruising on a mega ship! This year we headed to Alaska on the Jewel, again in the Haven as we were celebrating 2 milestone birthdays and 3rd occurring while on the trip. This was a 7 day from Vancouver to Seward, and we spent most of the time enjoying the view from our balcony and the fantastic food. We also added on 4 day land tour to Denali and Fairbanks (though not sure we'd do another land tour in the future. Too much time just sitting on crowded bus for too many days!) Worst/best part of this trip was getting hooked on the Banoffee dessert offered at Cagneys (suite guests have lunch available there)... if you see it on menu, definitely give it a try!!!!!!

I've been on two of the other ships in this class; Gem and Jewel. It appears to be the same. Some of the venues and bars have different names, but otherwise pretty much the same.

The first two cruises I went on were on the Pearl's sister ship, the Norwegian Gem, back in 2018 and 2019 and loved it. Those cruises were to the Caribbean and the Bahamas, so the pool decks were nice but packed. The ship is pretty much the same layout as the Pearl. After going on Royal Caribbean's Oasis of the Seas though, I like that there's more options on a bigger ship but it's also more people than the smaller ship of course

Cruised on the Pearl on a Panama Canal 15-day transit LA to Miami in 2012. We loved the casual vibe and the general layout which seems not to have changed much since the ship was refurbished. Our balcony cabin was very well designed so we were quite comfortable despite slightly less size than some other cruise lines. We tried out Teppanyaki and the Brazilian steakhouse, both were fun and good food; the MDR and buffets we found "ok"... but the entertainment, gourmet coffee & bowling made up for it. Have never been on another NCL cruise but we loved the Pearl and would happily cruise her again! We did observe the bridge for awhile during our canal transit and saw the Canal pilot present our Captain with a Panama hat as a gift! That was a memorable moment.

Why didn’t you tell everyone how much it cost for a “good” dinner on board? Those 2 places are expensive. We ate at the steak place and it was well over $200 for 2 people. We just got off the ship on Saturday and the buffet food was not as good as even a Golden Corral. The portions at the MDR were like if it was a Weight Watchers cruise…AND to get through all the courses was a near, sometimes over, 2 hours. I get it…women like to be waited on\be served when they eat as a change. I don’t. Give me good quality food in big portions on the buffet and I’m in and out in 30 minutes. Am I just guessing or is that really true. Women like sit down on cruises so they’re waited on? Cause I don’t like having to even dress up a little, give me my food now and back to my room for R & R.

Hello Ilana! Fellow Canadian here. :-) I was on NCL Encore in March 2023. I will be on NCL Joy in February 24 and on NCL Pearl in July/August 24 sailing from Athènes to Trieste. Needless to say that your video answered many of our questions. I was a bit worried to travel on an older NCL ship. Now I am reassured. Huge thanks. Ben

Loved this video, like most of the ones on this channel, so thank you, Ilana! This looks like a great sized ship for a couple, to be sure! My only other Norwegian experience was on the Dream back in 2007, and I thought it was a fine ship with a great staff (and the folding mast was pretty cool, too!). Next experience will be in 2024 on the Getaway, so I hope to see a video or two on someone's experiences on that ship (or the Breakaway) before we sail.

I agree! I’ve been on Getaway & it’s gorgeous! It was before I had my channel, but Waterfront is one of the best features

Captain. My first real cruise, not overnight ferry, was on the SS Norway back in the early 90s, with only three teens onboard, including me, because it was a Big Band themed cruise. I loved it, took to just before COVID, and a genealogy cruise, for me to make it back onboard. As a Likely solo traveller, as struggling to convince my coupled friends we need a girls trip, I’ve been eyeing NCL up again. Loved your tour as it’s given me some thoughts.

I sail on the Pearl annually for a chartered event called The Rock Boat. Our cruise has a large part of the pool deck covered to accommodate viewing for the stage where shows are happening so it was cool to see what it looks like on normal sailings.

I have cruised on the Epic and the Sun (Cuba cruise). I was amazed how many restaurants there were on the smaller Sun. Thanks for the review of the Pearl. The bridge viewing room looked interesting.

I was on the NCL Gem in December for my very FIRST Cruise, Solo and 15 day XAtlantic from Rome to NY. I got a crazy last minute deal on a balcony. Honest, I loved everything about this size ship. Such a great time. We were just over half full. It was comfy, friendly and just brilliant. I'm looking at doing the reverse in a few months on this ship. I don't think I need all the bells and whistles of the bigger ships, racetracks, rope courses, lots of slides. This was just right up my alley.😊😊😊
