NCL Pearl – Fun Things To Do On Board

Some of the best of a cruise is all the things you can do while on a cruise (besides eating and drinking!!).  The Pearl just happens to have some of the most fun things to see and do. 

There is “Bar Alley”, a multitude of restaurants, Like this picture of Cagney’s 

 

And nearby Cagney’s is the Star Bar, pictures showing here:

 

Then there are all the other bars, lounges and eateries.  Here are a few pictures of just a few of the others:

 Well, there is always another day on board the ship to look at other areas of the ship, to experience dining and drinking, to go on excursions, to bowl or climb the “WALL”, or play tennis with the Wii……until next time, boys and girls…….

Loews Miami Beach Hotel Review

Vacationing at Loews Miami Beach Hotel  

    At the start of my first day of vacation in South Beach, I was in a conundrum of what to do first.  My stomach was growling as I arrived late at night and had not cared to go out for a late Sunday night dining experience.  The three hour time difference together with having flown just about as far as one can in the continental US…from Seattle to Miami….had left me feeling like sleep was the first and highest priority.  Rested and bright-eyed, I was more than ready for breakfast.  This hotel is in the middle of the diverse and very hip art deco section of South Beach.  I headed down to the breakfast bar called the  SoBe Coffee Bar, located in the Tower, which opens at 5:45 AM (until 2PM) and serves up fresh roasts and exotic blends with freshly baked lighter fare.  I had a coffee and muffin (huge, moist and yummy) while deciding whether to walk around SoBe and take pictures or head for the pool to take a little exercise and a dip.  In the same location, Wednesday through Saturday at 5PM, a Champagne Bar is open until 11PM.  Heavenly!

One of the things I most appreciated about the Loews Miami Beach was their people.  They give “service” a whole new meaning.  When we questioned our server, he admitted Loews has stringent hiring policies towards customer service and an extensive customer service training program.  The people learn to anticipate the guests’ needs and to take as much time as is needed to answer questions, provide services, and be as attentive or not as the guest requires.  It was extremely refreshing to be in a hotel that literally anticipates and then caters to every need their guests have.
