Norwegian Pearl

The main pool deck has two large pools, four hot tubs and loungers both in the sun and tucked into the shade. A pool grill and buffet line serve casual bites, with one bar at the pool and another just behind it. A jogging track wraps around above, and the stage, lights and sound make this the spot for deck parties. Since filming, Vibe Beach Club has added an adults-only retreat on Deck 14.

Up top, the sports court can be set up for tennis, pickleball, basketball or soccer, with grandstand seating for anyone who would rather watch. The complimentary rock wall sits at the very top aft of the ship, and a golf cage nearby lets guests work on their swing before a round in port. Danny grew up playing three on three on cruise ship courts with his family, and he still makes time for free throws here.

The Haven Courtyard on Pearl was one of the first Haven complexes Norwegian ever built, and it is open only to guests in Haven suites. It has a small pool, a hot tub, steam rooms on either side, a large daybed and tables for continental breakfast and light bites through the day. Upstairs, the private Haven sun deck adds loungers, drink service and first-come, first-served cabanas, all complimentary for Haven guests.

Cagney's Steakhouse is one of Norwegian's original specialty concepts, serving steaks like ribeye and filet with appetizers such as jumbo shrimp. It is open for dinner every night, and Haven and S-category suite guests also eat breakfast and lunch here. Next door, Moderno Churrascaria brings skewered meats to the table on a red-light, green-light system, with a salad bar of small plates and the Sugarcane Mojito Bar out front.

Perched at the very top and front of the ship like a crown, the Spinnaker Lounge has windows that wrap around 180 degrees, a stage for live music, a large dance floor and stadium-style seating stepping up around it. By day it is a bright, quiet spot to watch the scenery. Later it turns into a lively lounge. Tucked nearby is a small chapel for weddings, services or a quiet moment that many guests never find.

The Mandara Spa offers massages from hot stone to deep tissue, facials and wraps, plus a salon, a barbershop, manicures, pedicures and teeth whitening. The Thermal Suite is a paid upgrade. Each locker room has its own steam room, cold plunge, small hot tub and a sauna with forward-facing views, and the unisex area adds heated stone loungers, experience showers and a thalassotherapy pool looking out over the bow.

Lotus Garden combines three choices in one area. The sushi bar serves rolls, sushi and sashimi, the Asian fusion restaurant draws on Chinese, Japanese and Thai cooking, and Teppanyaki is dinner and a show, with chefs cooking steak, shrimp, fried rice and vegetables on the grill in front of guests. Teppanyaki is lively and full of singing, which makes it a favorite with families, and it is the most popular restaurant on board.

Bar City links three bars in one stretch. Maltings Beer & Whiskey Bar hosts tastings and has beer on tap. Shakers Martini & Cocktail Bar mixes classic martinis, with bar seating, lounge chairs and a bandstand at the far end. Magnum's Champagne Bar pours champagne, prosecco and sparkling rosé, including some covered by the drink package. The humidor Cigar Lounge sits just next door for a cognac or whiskey.
