What Do “The Extra’s” Cost on Norwegian Pearl Cruises?
An all-inclusive cruise through Norwegian Pearl cruises includes your basic meals, your cabin and the actual cruise itself.
However, similar to many other cruise lines, the term all-inclusive does not include extra activities.
Don’t get me wrong, as far as your basic necessities are concerned, this is an excellent deal as far as vacation packages go.
Keep in mind that you may want to indulge in some of the extras so it is important that you have a general understanding of what the costs are for typical cruise extras.
As far as food is concerned, on Norwegian Pearl cruises, the buffets are included in the all-inclusive packages. However, there are alternative dining options such as special restaurants that carry a price tag from approximately $10 to $30 per person.
Even though there is an additional charge for eating at these types of restaurants, it allows you to experience a greater amount of freedom when it comes to choices of food for you and your family.
For many people, beverages and spirits are just as important as the choices of food that are available on Norwegian Pearl cruises. If you are a beer drinker, you will be paying anywhere in the range of $3.50 to $6 per beer. Perhaps you are an avid wine drinker? Well, you can expect to pay $15 to $300 per bottle, depending on the wine and the year it was made.
For passengers who enjoy drinking Fuzzy Navels and Long Island Iced Tea’s the range for mix drinks is $3.95 to $6.75. You can expect to pay more for alcoholic beverages that require several kinds of alcohol.
If you don’t drink alcohol, you can purchase an unlimited week-long soda card for $35-$40 or just pay for each drink as you order them for approximately $1.50 to $2.50 per drink. Norwegian Pearl cruises have prices for alcoholic beverages that are fairly competitive compared to other cruise lines.
Next, let’s discuss extra charges for services rendered on Norwegian Pearl cruises. If you have young children in the family, you can get a babysitter so that you and your loved one can enjoy a night alone without having to worry about whether or not your kids are safe.
The typical babysitting charge for 2 kids per hour is anywhere from $8 to $10 an hour. If you are going to be bringing clothing along on your cruise that needs to be dry cleaned, you can have that service performed for $2.50 to $7.50 per item.
Using the internet on Norwegian Pearl cruises can be quite expensive so, I suggest that you only use it if absolutely necessary. For instance, the charge is per minute and can range from $.50 to $1.50. As far as making outbound telephone calls is concerned, you will be charged $5.95 per minute up to $15.95 per minute depending on where you are when the call is placed for you. I suggest that you bring along your cell phone as nowadays, you often can get reception while aboard the cruise ship.
Norwegian Pearl cruises offer many exciting shore excursions for passengers to enjoy that can range from $30 to $400. The price range may seem large, but the total cost for your excursion will depend on the activity that you are doing or where you are going.
For instance, if you are planning on browsing through local markets and shops, you may want to bring along more money than if you were going sightseeing to view the country’s historical landmarks.
As you can see, there are quite a few activities that you can enjoy on Norwegian Pearl cruises. Don’t get left in the cold because you didn’t budget in enough money to take on your cruise. For further information, you can contact Norwegian Pearl cruises and ask for price ranges for the activities and amenities that you are interested in. Don’t let the all-inclusive term fool you when it comes to cruises!

Helpful Tips on How to Get a Free Cabin Upgrade on Norwegian Pearl Cruises
Were you aware that it is sometimes possible to get a free of deeply discounted cabin upgrade on Norwegian Cruise lines?
Well, this is true although it isn’t necessarily what some travel agents would have you believe.
In today’s day and age, cruise ships are often sailing at 100% capacity and it can be hard to get cabin upgrade deals, especially during peak season.
With that being said, there are some tricks you can try to get a deal on an outside cabin or suite with a balcony without being committed to paying the full price.

Norwegian Pearl Cruises Villa
Always look for advertised specials and inquire about unadvertised specials. If you are using a travel agent, you can simply ask your agent about any potential specials or discounts available for Norwegian Cruise lines.
On specific sailings, there will be specials that include free or cheap cabin upgrades. These specials allow passengers to purchase the cheapest fare and be upgraded from a level one cabin to a level five cabin.

Norwegian Pearl Courtyard Villa
Norwegian Cruise lines also offer passengers the opportunity to take advantage of “soft sailing” upgrades. These are typically available during the off-season and on cruises to less popular destinations as it is sometimes expected that the ship will set sail with less than full capacity.
A great tip I have for you is to make sure that you book your cruise early and choose the least expensive cabin during the off-season. The reason for this is that you just may be able to get an upgrade if the cabins that are more expensive, fill up.
Additionally, look for guarantees from Norwegian Pearl cruises on sold-out cabins. If you request a sold-out cabin category when you reserve your cruise vacation, Norwegian Pearl cruises will offer a guarantee promising you the specific category that you requested or better.
There is a definite upside to this guarantee as typically when a cruise is sold-out or over-sold in the requested category, the odds are in your favor for getting an upgrade at no additional charge.

Norwegian Pearl Deluxe Owners suite
Being able to find a free cabin upgrade may not always be possible. With that being said, you can greatly improve your odds of successfully getting a deal by also checking out paid upgrades that don’t cost too much extra.
There are many cruise lines including Norwegian Pearl cruises that offer cabin upgrades for as little as $15 per person; these cheap upgrades tend to be more prevalent during off-season. So, if you are interested in staying on top of your vacation budget, ask some questions and do your research and you may be able to find the perfect deal for your needs.
There is nothing wrong with trying to save money while improving the quality of your accommodations on your cruise. With Norwegian Pearl cruises, you will have an opportunity to find and secure the best prices for your lodging needs during your cruise.
Wouldn’t that be nice to be able to spend more money on the things that you really want to do such as offshore excursions and shopping versus on where you sleep?
