Ship experiences
Food and Dining
5 out of 5
The new Mexican Los Lobos was so good that we cancelled our Cagney's reservation and went a second time. Be sure to try the Mexican Street Corn. No restrictions on the Garden Cafe. The buffet works exactly like it did before. Serve yourself. The service and food in all the restaurants was excellent.
Onboard Activities
4 out of 5
My wife loved the water slide. Too cold for any other outdoor activities.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
Comedians were very good. Lots of live music in the afternoon and evening. Beatles were great. Always something going on in the Atrium. Norwegian is going all out. More variety than ever.

Ship Quality
5 out of 5
The Encore was beyond immaculate. Beautiful modern design. The observation deck is luxurious and has huge bar and larger buffet than Joy, Escape, etc.
Cabin / Stateroom
5 out of 5
Very clean and comfortable. Nearly identical to the other ships in this class.
Ship tip
Take advantage of the Port Track luggage direct from your room to your destination.
They moved the port 20 minutes from town to an industrial area that smelled like a sewage treatment plant (former paper mill across from what looks like a former sewage treatment plant). I'm assuming Norwegian bought this and they're going to clean it up. We've done excursions before, so we walked the town. Saw salmon swimming up the rapids.
Thank for the review, we’re going on Encore this Saturday, and have never been on NCL, we decided to try them due to no masks, we usual go Princess but we canceled 5 cruises with them due to mask mandates.
