During the next few weeks we'll post more information about our Honeymoon Alaskan Cruise on Norwegian Cruise Lines ship, "The Norwegian Pearl." This site is currently composed mostly of pictures, but we'll add more detail soon. The ship we sailed on is a brand new and was commissioned in November of 2006. Until our cruise it had never been to Alaska!
