Loved the ship and will treasure the overall experience! The selection of the venues, dining options and things to do truly had something for everyone. The ship is attractively decorated and easy to get around. We loved it so much. But at last all good shows must come to an end. Would I go again? You bet. Encore! Encore! #signmeupNCLEncore

Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
All of the specialty dining rooms were full so we had to have the complimentary dining. Were we in for a shock and treat when we decided on eating at the Savor Main Dining room? Try the Surf and Turf. The fillet minion was melt in your mouth and the lobster tail was equally appealing. We also tried the Manhattan Room which was equally as pleasant. We had lunch one day at the American Diner in a retro 57 Chevy booth. Make sure you have a milk shake. It was the best I ever had. It was the best I ever had. You will not go hungry on this ship. The complimentary dining was so delicious and plentiful.

We enjoyed the pool, hot tubs and fitness center. My daughter loved the Speedway and Aqua Racer.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We were able to get reservations to The Choir of Man show. We didn't know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised. This was our favorite show on the cruise. We got to see Kinky Boots which we also liked. Loved the Cavern Club to hear the Beatles tribute band where we felt like we were in Liverpool.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The ship was stunning with an easy layout to get around. All of the public areas were beautifully decorated and very relaxed. We enjoyed the Observation Lounge with its floor to ceiling windows.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We had a beautiful mid ship balcony room on the port side. Good layout and the bathroom had plenty of space. Good storage areas throughout the cabin and bathroom. There were USB outlets on each side of the bed and power and USB outlets on the vanity.
Ship tip
Make sure to book shore excursions, activities, and specialty dining as early as possible as they fill up quickly.
The island was gorgeous with the beautiful turquoise water. There was a lot of choices and things to do. We got reservation for the Kayak Tour which pushed me completely out of my comfort zone and was so invigorating. I would highly recommend.
