Norwegian Pearl Cruises has something for everyone!


Norwegian Pearl cruises offer the usual cruise ship activities, but also have some rather unique options available for passengers that are not available on other cruise lines.

This cruise ship welcomes families with open arms. If you have young children, this may just be the perfect vacation to take.

There is something to do for everyone onboard. I would like to take a moment to explain and point out all of the highlights of Norwegian Pearl cruises to give you a better understanding of what to expect on your trip.

First of all, this cruise line is home to a wide variety of restaurants, twelve to be exact. So, even if you have a picky eater in the family, you will be able to satisfy the most difficult of appetites!

On Norwegian Pearl cruises, there are a grand total of eleven bars and lounges available for people who enjoy cocktails and conversation. Each of the bars and lounges has a different theme, which may appeal to different personalities. Ok, so now everyone has been fed and the adults in the family have had a chance to enjoy an after-dinner cocktail.


Now what should you do? Well, you can take the family to bowl a few games at the bowling alley or try something a little different and try your luck at getting to the top of a rock climbing wall. The younger members of the family can enjoy some time in the Kids Club, which has a variety of activities to choose from to keep busy. Some of the available activities for children include board games, video games, movies, arts and crafts, story time and, even magic shows.

Each of the Norwegian Pearl cruises has a staff that is attentive and caring towards your child’s needs. Are you worried because your youngest child isn’t potty trained yet? Well, no worries, you will receive a beeper that will notify you when your child needs to be changed.

Teenagers will find plenty of things to do on Norwegian Pearl cruises. There is a movie theatre onboard as well as a Metro Center specifically for teens. The center is equipped with computers, plasma TVs and features an interactive Nintendo gaming system with a 20-ft screen in the atrium and kids and teens centers.

The center is typically located right next to the video arcade on most ships. The Norwegian Pearl has exceptional activities and facilities for children and teens, including features not found on other ships.

A multitude of dining options is available on Norwegian Pearl cruises. Reservations are required for some of the more popular restaurants onboard, so passengers should plan accordingly. The two traditional dining rooms are the Summer Palace and the Indigo, and there are several specialty restaurants to choose from, serving food to accommodate all kinds of tastes.

Some examples of the style of cuisine that is available are: Italian, Asian, Tex-Mex and American. So if you are looking for anything from surf-n-turf to exotic, you will be able to find it on your cruise. If you like variety while you dine, you will be able to visit the ship’s buffet-style venue which provides a daily continental breakfast for all passengers. For people who have a much simpler taste, the pool deck grill is a perfect place to get burgers, hotdogs, salads and desserts.

As far as entertainment is concerned, Norwegian Pearl cruises have an excellent selection of nightlife activities to choose from. For instance, the Stardust Lounge is home to Broadway and Vegas-style productions. There is a casino aboard the ship that has a variety of slot machines as well as a Blackjack table for more serious poker players.

For people who appreciate a good mystery, there is even a Murder Mystery Dinner that will leave you guessing “Who did it?” For our more mature passengers, a trio plays 1940s and 1950s much which is perfect for dancing the night away!

Most mass-market cruise lines use plastic material for cushions on the deck-chairs. With Norwegian Pearl cruises, you will find only heavily cushioned deck chairs that are double the size of other deck chairs found on other ships. In fact, these deck chairs are so roomy that it is possible for a couple to be able to comfortably take a nap in the mid-day sun.

Norwegian Pearl cruises have kept the internet-focused passengers in mind as well! There is an internet cafe that is open 24 hours a day and features eight computer stations.

For example, you can purchase 250 minutes for $100.00 or 100 minutes for $55.

There are five restaurants aboard Norwegian Pearl cruises for your dining pleasure. You will have your choice of all-you-can-eat buffets to sushi bars to fine dining.

Norwegian Pearl cruises firmly believe in offering their guests free-style dining. Basically, a guest can book tables anytime during the cruise for the entire week, beginning as soon as they board. This way, you can be sure that you will get your favorite table each and every time.


They have even taken it one step further and have TV-style monitors set up throughout the ship that show the hours of operation for each restaurant and how busy they are at any given moment.

So, let’s say the restaurant that you selected is way too crowded, you can simply ask the Maitre D’ to book you into another restaurant right on the spot. You will be given a beeper for your party and as soon as your requested table is ready, you will be notified. This is just one of the things that make Norwegian Pearl cruises so unique.

Each of the villas has a living room, dining room, sun deck and three separate bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Each of the villas sleeps up to six adults. This makes Norwegian Pearl cruises perfect for a large family or for a large group of friends.

Lastly, I wanted to mention that there is a fitness/spa center aboard Norwegian Pearl cruises; this should make the exercise fanatics very happy!
