Awesome ship, great experience!

Disappointing Design Decisions by NCL with Encore

While NCL Encore was beautiful, the Captain instead of taking a easier/more southern route went head on into the storm(s). First thought it was to rush through bad weather but crew suspected it was to test the ship. SPA kept having things NOT working.
