We enjoyed our cruise on the Encore, will definitely recommend to others. Love Freestyle Cruising!
Embarkation

Embarkation was quick and easy.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
We didn’t have a chance to try the specialty restaurants, reservations were all booked up. The food was very good in the other restaurants. We were happy with the variety of options.
Onboard Activities
5 out of 5
We loved the Speedway Racetrack. The Galaxy Pavilion was lots of fun too. Our favorite area was the Observation Lounge.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Our favorite show was Kinky Boots, best show I’ve seen on a ship in a long time! The show is targeted for a mature audience, so I wouldn’t bring my children. Choir of Man was great too! Great vocals, however there is some adult content that may not be for everyone. The Beatles tribute band was awesome!
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Staff was great. Everyone had a smile on their face and happy to help if I needed assistance.
Ship Quality
5 out of 5
Ship was immaculate, the layout was good. I was able to find my way around fairly easily.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
We were very happy with the location and it was quiet. We prefer to be away from the elevators, so this was the perfect spot. I was happy with the size of the veranda, some other ships I have sailed on had such tiny balconies. We could comfortably sit outside and enjoy the beautiful ocean.
Ship tip
I recommend booking your entertainment and specialty dining as early as possible. It is so easy to do via your MYNCL account. Be sure to check out the shore excursions too.
We enjoyed Great Stirrup Cay. There was a little straw market if you wanted to purchase some souvenirs. The new section Silver Cove was outstanding. This area can be accessed if you rent one of the villas. The private beach was beautiful!
We took advantage of the early risers disembarkation and it was a breeze. We carried our own luggage off (packed light) and we literally walked right off the ship. Of course, there was a line to go thru customs, but it moved fairly quickly.
