SuperCrewBear Posted December 20, 2016 #227 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Did you hear anything else about what was going to be done during the dry dock? Don Only what I've read here. (where I got the bowling alley info - it might not be true at all and they might remove both halves...who knows?) There has been some speculation (also, on here...you can hunt and find it if you like) that they like eliminating places like the Spinnaker Lounge to create more cabins/suites. That would be a pity... It's a great place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailing on the Pearl in August to Alaska. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamasylvia Posted December 22, 2016 #229 Share Posted December 22, 2016 My family is sailing on the Pearl next May. I suspect someone will beat us to it ;) but if not, we'll certainly post info on the makeover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rigs32 Posted December 22, 2016 #230 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I would be shocked if they removed Spinnaker on the Pearl. Unlike the other jewel class ships, it's used heavily by the music charters and when she sails in Alaska. So I think it's quite possible that the Pearl will retain the Spinnaker even if the others do not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattandjenH Posted December 30, 2016 #232 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Hi all! Last August on the breakaway I spent a good bit of money on a massage and it wasn't very good. I'd love a recommendation for a massage therapist on The Pearl. We're cruising March 3rd. Any suggestions for a great spa staff member?? Thanks Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbob22 Posted January 7, 2017 #237 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Which are the better choices for the extra cost restaurants We were on the Jewel (sister ship) a few months ago, and like a lot of people, we chose the dining package (did not pay out of pocket). The restaurants were all really good. I think our favorites were Moderno (really good salad bar, tasty meats, although you may have to nag them to bring more). Teppanyaki was also excellent (although you could get the same type of meal on land for around their $20 price). I think we got surf and turf and the shrimp and other seafood portion was really meaty and good quality. My porterhouse at Cagney's was good, but not earth shattering. But many people love Cagney's the most. Maybe next time I'd get a different cut. Le Bistro good too, I think I had lamb chops. We're pondering doing the Pearl over Thanksgiving, thus I've been reading up on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. We are thinking about the Pearl over Thanksgiving also. We love the Gem, I believe that is a sister ship also. Did you check out the sailing the first week of December? Same price for 9 days as the 7 day over Thanksgiving. We are not sure which we are going to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven6566 Posted January 13, 2017 #243 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Is the spa worth the money for one day? In my opinion the spa is more than worth the money. We spent most of our last cruise in the spa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heaven6566 Posted January 17, 2017 #246 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Is the pool in the spa covered or open air? The spa is all indoors. The pool is actually a Thalasso Therapy Pool located in the common area. Here is a video walk through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beckslash Posted March 9, 2017 #247 Share Posted March 9, 2017 This is a great thread! Thank you all. Can't wait until our Alaska sailing on 7/2! I have a question that hopefully can be answered by UK cruisers. The 'country breakfast' at O'Sheehans sounds close enough to a Full English. It has baked beans and grilled tomatoes and mushrooms. Are they British baked beans? This is important and American and British baked beans are SO different. I'll assume that the sausages and bacon aren't? British baked beans might make it close enough for my English husband to be in breakfast heaven and the others would just be a bonus. Also, now that the Pearl is out of dry dock, would love to hear reviews/thoughts and pics. Lastly, we have a family balcony on deck 10. The family balconies were the only balconies left. Does this mean we're going to be around more kids? Pros and cons to the family balcony as to a normal balcony? An Aft Balcony would have been our preference but they were sold out.

Ozzie's Mom Posted April 28, 2017 #248 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Happy to know my good friend James P. and his beautiful bride will be aboard the Pearl for an Alaskan cruise in September.

stunned Posted April 28, 2017 #249 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Finding all this information useful. We are on Pearl in November and it will be my 20th cruise but only second with NCL. Was so disappointed last NCL, but decided to try again - after reading all these postings on this thread - I am excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbob22 Posted April 29, 2017 #250 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Same here. We are thinking about the Pearl over Thanksgiving also. We love the Gem, I believe that is a sister ship also. Did you check out the sailing the first week of December? Same price for 9 days as the 7 day over Thanksgiving. We are not sure which we are going to do. turns out our kids are in school part of Thanksgiving week, so it's a no-go for us. If we could go anytime, we'd definitely go when you can get the best bang for the buck. We like everything about ncl except for that their rooms are ridiculously small, and they don't seem to have basic rooms with 2 pull-down beds. It looks like this will keep us off of ncl (or most of their ships) for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
