    Quite an interesting program.

    With all the fun you can have on a cruise, you still have to realize that it IS a business and the cruise lines have to make a profit at the end of the year.

    With the prices lower than I have seen in my 15 years in the business, it is going to open up cruising to many who never could afford one before but I hope the program didn't turn them off to what cruising is really all about to the passengers.

    IMO, it was an hour long puff piece on the NCL Pearl.

    I found the show to be somewhat interesting.
    There was a lot of puff but if did show some different aspects of cruising.
    I did not realize how many of the restaurants on the Pearl had extra charges.

    One thing that impressed us was the cruise director. He was everywhere, checking on so many details, talking to passengers here and there. Hopefully, he's like that on each cruise. Sometimes you heard people say they never see the CD, except at some of the activities.

    We cruised on the Pearl last year and had the same Cruise Director (Simon) he was everywhere! I think he popped in at least once to every single event we went to. Not to mention we'd hear him on the PA several times a day announcing what was going on.
    By the end of the trip my husband and I were immitating his Aussie accent. lol
