Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

The main dinning room food was not what I expected. Maybe I should not compare it to Royal Caribbean or Norwegian because it was not as good. The buffet, the pizza, Guys ham burger, Blue Iguana all had better tasting food than the main dinning room.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The ventriloquist, the Broadway singer, the marriage game was about all we liked in Encore. For the most part the pg comedians were funny. The woman comedian was not near as funny as she thought she was. One comedian basically read a joke off of his phone and then told it. The rock shows were LOUD and terrible from where it reverberated through the deck and gave us headaches.
