Cabin / Stateroom

Nice cabin, balcony was much larger than this level room we have had in other ships. Lived three balcony when the waves were big, great photos! Room steward was awesome!

Ship tip

Explore the ship, there is so much to see and do. If a show is full, always go to stand by line, we always get in, especially towards the end of the cruise. The crew is so attentive! Can't wait to sail Encore in September 2020! NCL is the best!

So happy to hear such a beautiful review from a seasoned cruiser. It is a welcome change from the negativity of some people who give awful reviews sometimes out of pettiness. Thank you, so glad you had a wonderful experience on the encore🥂

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.
