Today's info is general information regarding the Pearl.

Pearl Features include: a four-lane bowling alley, rock climbing wall, spa, casino, fitness center, theater

Useful feature: the Restaurant Reservation and Management System helps passengers determine which restaurants are busiest and the wait times. This system consists of flat-screen TVs placed in high-traffic areas around the ships and shows each restaurant's availability status. Indicator bars reflect when each restaurant is "full", "short wait", "filling up", or "empty". Screens also show an estimated wait time in each restaurant and the different table sizes available. If you are craving a certain type of food and the restaurant is full, the hostess will give you a wait time and issue a pager that works all over the ship.

The Pearl's floating medical center has 2 doctors and 3 nurses on staff and is not free of charge.
