Very relaxing cruise with 3 days at sea due to skipping the Norwegian Island because of weather condition. The ship is clean. Has a great observation deck on 15th floor offers snacks and drinks. Pool area on 16 is crowded, but is normal for the size ship. I would definitely cruise on Encore in the future.

Specialty restaurants-Cagney’s and Onda were worth visiting. Haven should change up the menu during the week. Overall the food was good.

Fitness center was nicely laid out with enough equipment for everyone. Haven pool was relaxing as well as the sun deck.
Entertainment
5 out of 5
We saw Choir of men and Kinky Boots. Performance was great however Kinky Boots could leave out several scenes and shorten the performance.
Service and Staff
5 out of 5
Waiters for the most part were good. Concierge (Bowen) in the Haven was one of the most engaged concierge we have had on NCL. Excellent service.

Ship tip
Make the most of your port visits. Book your excursions early so you get the time and experience desired.
We booked Megan Bay excursion. When we arrived an advisory was in place regarding the water having sewage. This was unfortunate and the tour guide would not take us back to the ship. Most took a taxi back to the ship. I am guessing the sewage is not an on going issue, but it was an issue on our tour.
