A bit blurry but a nice family picture.

We met some lovely people on the cruise.  We were blessed to meet a Halmoni from the Sacramento area.  We happily adopted her as our Halmoni for the week. 

 

NCL Pearl 206A

And that’s a wrap! 

At least of the first couple of days anyway…

Some facts: 

In all of 8 cruises we’ve been on, it was our first time sailing Norwegian and we were pleasantly surprised!  The Pearl was spacious, nice, and the food was fresh and good!  I think we were mostly surprised because we paid so little.  Did I mention the kids were free? 

Unfortunately, we didn’t get to stop at our first port (NCL’s private island, Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas).  The swells were too big and it was unsafe to tender.  So, we simply made the most of our time at sea.

Next stop… JAMAICA!
