Creator's Key Takeaways

We have been on a lot of cruises where the temperature's been iffy if you're wondering whether it's warm enough to go in the water.

It's just been a beautiful day on a cruise ship.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Use Uber instead of the cruise shuttle for cost savings when traveling with a group in Palma.
Check the main dining room for lunch on half sea days, as it may be available and less crowded.
Arrive early or late to avoid peak pricing for Uber rides from the port.

YouTube Video Description

This is our cruise vlog from the Norwegian Pearl on Day 8 of our 12-day cruise from Southampton to Rome! 🚢 It’s a day that starts slow and ends with a splash! Join us aboard the Norwegian Pearl as we ease into a rare half sea day before docking in beautiful Palma de Mallorca. From sleeping in and leisurely meals to exploring rainy decks and catching surprise main dining room lunch, the day takes a sunny turn as we wander the city, try a horse-drawn carriage ride, and return for an epic sunset hot tub session. It’s a little bit of everything—relaxation, exploration, and cruise ship coziness at its finest! ▬ Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 00:00 - Lazy Morning & Late Start in the Cabin 01:15 - Breakfast in the Main Dining Room 03:00 - Rainy Deck Walk & Lunch Surprise 05:10 - Dining Room Lunch & Food Hits & Misses 08:05 - Shuffleboard Fail & Scenic Sail Into Palma 10:00 - Uber vs Shuttle: Getting to Town 12:15 - Cathedral Views & Palma First Impressions 13:45 - Exploring by Horse & Carriage 15:00 - Returning to Ship & Pre-Dinner Moments 16:30 - Dinner, Dessert & Dress of the Night 18:00 - Sunset Swim & Soaking in the Hot Tubs 20:00 - Nightfall on Deck & City Lights of Palma 21:30 - Sailaway Delay & Saying Goodnight from Spain Hi, we are Jill and Jerry, and we invite you to subscribe to our channel.
