Reader Review Of Pearl Sea Cruises

If you have sailed with American Cruise Lines, you will very disappointed with the Pearl Mist. No laundry services at all. They charge $20 pp per day for tips. Terrible reception area. Looks like a cheap hotel. Happy Hour is not in the show lounge and not very good. They advertise sea scallops, but not one can be found on this ship. The service is good and the food good (minus scallops). The average age on the boat was 77. Many with mobility problems. Yet they expected us to walk to the wine tasting (about 1/2 mile). We took a taxi back. Could not keep up with the guide. They do have big cabins and bathrooms. The ship looks very old and run down. Lacks decor..

Hope you found this Pearl Seas Cruises review informative.
