Review summary

I like the casual dressing and dining options on the Norwegian encore. The only negative thing I would have to say is that they don't park their ships close to towns that they stop at necessitating a bus ride.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Fast and painless. We were Haven guests so there were no lines.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Plenty to do.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
Unfortunately kinky Boots again was canceled but we did see choir of man and it was a bit different and just as good as our cruise 6 months ago.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Five Star All The Way.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
This is our second cruise on the Encore in the last 6 months. It is beautifully designed.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
What can I say? It's in the Haven. It was excellent as usual.

Ship tip

Don't over pack and they do laundry specials halfway through the cruise.

Ports of call

Seattle, Washington

4 out of 5
It was a $10 cab ride from where we stayed so that was quite easy.

Juneau, Alaska

3 out of 5
Every other store is a jewelry store.

Skagway, Alaska

3 out of 5
Like juneau, every other store was a jewelry store.

Cruise Glacier Bay

5 out of 5
Just as beautiful as it was 6 months ago.

KETCHIKAN (WARD COVE), ALASKA

4 out of 5
We enjoyed it with the exception of the ship being parked way out of town.

Victoria, British Columbia Did not visit port

The Encore has to stop in Canada by law, but it was an extremely shortstop. Wish we could have stayed 24 hours or so.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Again we were Haven guests so there was absolutely no issue getting off the ship. We were escorted to private elevators to debark.
