Posted 13 Mar 2009
Tour the 15-story Norwegian Pearl from top to bottom, without having to walk down the stairs. Visit the "Cruise Inc.: Big Money on the High Seas" website.
Deck 15: Deluxe Owner's Suite
The Owner's Suite occupies the Pearl's entire top deck, offering privacy and a bird's eye view of the ship's goings-on.
Deck 14: Garden Villa
The largest suite onboard is the 4,390 sq foot Garden Villa, complete with 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a butler....all for $26,000.
Deck 12: Spa
The South Pacific Spa offers everything from massages and manicures, to teeth brightening and Botox!
Deck 11: Bridge
There's no steering wheel on this ship. Captain Sverre Sovdsnes pilots the Pearl with a joystick that looks like it came from a video game system.
Decks 10, 9 and 8: Cabins
There are 1,197 cabins on the Pearl but which ones sell out first? The balcony rooms - which averaged $899 per person on our cruise.
Deck 7: Art Gallery
In the market for an original Rembrandt, Matisse or Dali? Look no further than the Park West Art Gallery, located in the Pearl's shopping hub.
Deck 6: Main Galley
The ship has 20 ovens - each, according to Executive Chef Marco Mantel, is the price of a middle class car.Related Links:Video: Chef Marco's Galley Tour
Deck 5: Crew Mess
The crew quarters include 3 dining areas - one for the officers, one for staff and one for the rest of the crew. All share the same menu.
Deck 4: Medical Center
Like facilities on land, the Pearl's floating medical center has 2 doctors and 3 nurses on staff and is not free of charge.
Deck 3: Fruit Freezer
This freezer holds 22,000 lbs of fruit - enough for just one week at sea.
Deck 2: Laundry
The laundry is a 24/7 operation, washing 2,400 towels and 1,200 sets of sheets a day.
Deck 1: Engine Room
The Pearl's 5 diesel engines produce 11,000 volts of electricity a day, which is enough to power a small town.
