We had a great week. We were looking forward to sailing on Encore since January. We sailed on bliss last year too. I liked NCL
Embarkation
5 out of 5
Arrived a bit early, and had to wait in the holding area. Got lucky, and was given an earlier boarding number by guests waiting. Checked in around 11, on board by noon.
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
Lots of bars and restaurants. I found I spent a lot of time at Local. Less crowded at breakfast, and I love the wings at lunch!
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
So much to do, but like any new ship, a few kinks to work out. Go karts were great. Spectators can participate by shooting lasers at the karts to boost power!
Ocean loop slide closed awaiting extended repairs. Some rides at galaxy pavilion glitchy
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Kinky boots and choir of man are great. Temperature band had great music on the pool deck and elsewhere. Good piano shows in District, atrium, and observation. Don’t miss the Deck party, featuring all the entertainers on one stage. DJ kept the deck parties hopping!
Did not see Beatles or Prohibition show on Encore, but they were good on Bliss, so I’m sure you’ll enjoy

Ship tip
Book restaurant reservations prior to boarding or on the first day, especially in a large group.
That’s great that you did the bioluminescent tour in Puerto Rico, who did you book with? Also did you have to rent a car to get to the location... I heard that it’s an hour away. Thanks!!!
