More info on Pearl-especially Western ports/restaurants

[pgbrochet]

Hello,

This is our first sailing with NCL and we wanted to know a little more about making reservations and about the restaurants. Are reservations only needed in the "Specialty" restaurants? I'm assumming that the buffet is open all the time and reservations are not needed. Also, any info on the ports Cozumel, Belize, Roatan, and Great Stirrup Cay. We depart April 12, 2009 on the Pearl. Have sailed several times With Carnival and once on Celebrity. We're trying NCL with our sons ages 11 and 15. Any other info on the ship that you can help us out with would be appreciated. Also, any pictures of the Pearl would be great too! Thanks again! Also, on the "formal night" is a tie required or just a sport coat? I am assumming our boys would be ok with a tropical shirt and pants???? Thanks again.
