Summary

We get a review of Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Pearl. This was a 13-night transatlantic cruise from New York City to Amsterdam.

Since the cruise was so long, we were able to find out what the ship was like during multiple sea days with no stone left unturned.

Sherry has cruise news: 

  • Cruises to Cuba are officially canceled
  • MSC Cruise ship crashed into a dock in Venice over the weekend
  • Carnival Cruise Line got slapped with a big fine for violating probation
  • Another Celebrity Cruise underwent a refurbishment

Listener Q: What is the weather like in Alaska in July?
