Looking for Answers about Norwegian Pearl?

If you are a fan of fountain Pepsi, I would ask before purchasing the package. The last cruise we took on the Spirit, the Pepsi was all out of 2 liter bottles which was a disappointment. While on the Pearl, it was out of a fountain.

NCL serves Pepsi products onboard the ship. You can buy a package which allows free refills on board the ship.
You are allowed to bring your own sodas and water. You can check them or carry them on board. The products must be sealed or risk confiscation by the security.

You can also get juices. Orange, cranberry, pineapple. I bought the $75 juice and soda sticker. It comes with a Norwegian travel mug - I called it my $75 mug!

NCL serves Pepsi products (e.g., Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, etc.).

They have Pepsi products.

six thirty and ten thirty pm

The main shows in the Stardust theater are at 7:30 and 9:30 PM. The doors open 30 minutes prior to the show.
There are other shows in the Spinnaker Lounge that run late into the night.
Check the daily newsletter on board the ship for the show timing and locations.

Also the White Hot party was at 10:15. I was so tired I didn't make it and was way too late fro my young kids to attend. Wish I would have known, I wouldn't had gone out to buy my kids white clothes.

Usually around 7/7:30 and 9/9:30 PM, actual times will be listed in the daily activity sheet.

Yes there is hairdryers in the rooms and you will need to use that one. You cannot use your own because the wattage is too high for the ship and it will cause the electric to go out in your room and the staff will have to reset the electricity in your room.

Yes. The bathrooms have hairdryers.

The amenities the ship's stateroom is just as in any hotel. Fridge, phone, TV, coffee maker (not in inside & ocean view staterooms), ice buckets, beach towels, mini-safe, hair dryers, soaps and shampoo.

With balconies the major difference between them is location. The better the location, the higher the price.

You get an extra fold down bed with the family rooms which allows for an extra person to have a bed.

If you are staying in the suite or the penthouses, you should have priority boarding. However, the process doesn't take too long. They have plenty of check-in counters.
Check with guest services for priority disembarkment on the final day of the cruise.

When my wife an I sailed Sept, 2011 as I recalled the only early boarding was first for elderly and disabled. Then the Latitude members then by section of the ship and floors. Your luggage is usually already at your door. I assure you to rest in peace as all will go smoothly. Enjoy your trip! I do recommend that your really check your cameras for NEW batteries and extras. We took a train trip and camera died. Luckily the couple in front from Australia loaned us some aussie batteries.

It is possible to roll the air out- not as effective, but it does squeeze stuff.

If I may, I would suggest that you pack just the stuff you need. You are allowed two bags + carryon per passenger.
... but for some reason, the stuff you managed to neatly pack at home doesn't seem to want to fit in the same bags on the way back home :-(
Plus, you will need place for all the stuff you buy on shore and on the ship.

Yes.

Yes, all bathrooms have hand soap. The bathrooms also have shampoo and body wash (no conditioner).

Are you bringing an iPad onboard? I have an app called "Sleep Fan".....for fan noise for sleeping.

Yes. All staterooms have televisions.

To make disembarkation easy, NCL uses color coded bag tags which specify the disembark time on it. The first guests to disembark are guests who are carrying their own bags out.
You can pick the bag tags for the last available time slot that way you can have breakfast on the ship before disembarking. It usually takes about 2 hours for everyone to disembark. If you have the last to disembark you will be out around 9:30-10 AM

How much time you have for breakfast is based on your departure choice. Passengers who walk off with their luggage are the first to leave and all others choose a departure time (usually 20-30 increments). The buffet and restaurant are open early so you should have time to grab a bit to eat. The ship is usually cleared of all passengers within 2-3 hours.
