The Encore is a beautiful ship. I loved the observation deck, and the Waterfront deck with the nice seating around, bars and restaurants. Having midship and deck 9 was a great location for most places we went to. Only used the elevator for going to the pool decks and observation deck. Shows and entertainment was of good quality, staff very nice and accommodating.

Loved Q Smokehouse, Food Republic and Onda. Taste and Savor very good. Buffet only went a few times and was good also. Very clean and nice staff. A favorite to go to anytime was the Local for great wings, taco salad, and nachos.

Beautiful decor and great Observation deck! Clean! Had some issues with toilets not flushing and faucets turning on automatically in bathrooms throughout.
Cabin / Stateroom

I did ask for a mattress topper for the bed which worked better for us, and the balcony was a great size. We enjoyed it a lot.
Ship tip
Make sure you check out the observation deck. It’s beautiful and relaxing, and nice to be at entering a port. Beautiful view!
