keishashadow Posted March 19, 2009 #1 Share Posted March 19, 2009 help, no experience w/NCL or Alaska in general;); decided to cave into family's wishes & 'can' our winter cruise:rolleyes: only cruise to work with our summer vacation time appears to be the Pearl, from what i've seen; looks lovely need to settle upon a balcony cabin for 3 pp, not sure whether the Minisuite justifies an extra $500 or so:confused: additionally, did a search & read that Port is better to book for glacial viewing...its a RT sailing out of Seattle if that helps any suggestions r most welcome:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizer_J Posted March 19, 2009 #2 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can’t help with info on the Pearl or differences between the cabins, but first viewing and narration of the glaciers at Glacier Bay is to port; that would be my choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keishashadow Posted March 19, 2009 Author #3 Share Posted March 19, 2009 thanks for the confirmation now to figure out what AF mini suite with concierge available means:D, yet another call to NCL;) what level, what ur entitled to, got a feeling it doesn't mean a special line checking in lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marelind Posted March 19, 2009 #4 Share Posted March 19, 2009 The difference between the balcony and the mini-suite are heavy drapes and some extra footage between the bed and the sitting area. You'll need to decide if the space and dividing curtain are worth the $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Clay Clayton Posted March 20, 2009 #6 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Keep in mind that while it is called a suite, you don't get any of the benefits that come with a real suite. It should really be called a "deluxe balcony". Clay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanDreaming2 Posted March 20, 2009 #7 Share Posted March 20, 2009 AF mini suite with concierge available This is old information. The mini suites no longer have concierge services available. BTW, the Pearl is a beautiful ship - you will love her! She sails into Glacier Bay - incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamagal in FL Posted March 20, 2009 #9 Share Posted March 20, 2009 We were on the Pearl out of Seattle to Alaska last May....MUST do Balcony or above on the PORT side. Had scenery every day except on last sea day. It was INCREDIBLE. Glacier Bay was spectacular. We LOVED the Pearl and her crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
