Review summary

The Norwegian Encore crew and ship were first rate.

Transfer from airport to testing facility was easy. The actual Covid testing experience was quick and efficient. The testing center is across street from ship. Easy walking distance. Many cruise personnel to direct what to do and where to go.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We ate at the Haven restaurant most days. It was always first rate. Cagney’s was great. Food Republic has good Asian type food. The buffet was good. It was always really busy and hard to find a table but food was consistently good.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5

We used the Thermal suite every day and loved it!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

First rate service all over the ship. The Haven crew were especially great!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Never saw a cleaner ship!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

The Haven courtyard suite with large balcony was perfect for an Alaska cruise. We were on port side. Stayed in room for most of Glacier Bay tour and it was absolutely beautiful from our balcony.

Ship tip

The Observation lounge is a great place to enjoy the cruise scenery and relax.

Off the ship by 7:15 am, yikes 😳 I'm lucky if I'm even up at that time, even on disembarkation day!
