Service and Staff

5 out of 5
I must honestly say that all of the ships staff were excellent and always very helpful. Our room stewards Lodson and Michael were great. Thank you.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The Encore is very well designed and maintained, which was great, given how large the ship is.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We upgraded our room to a Club Balcony Suite, from a Balcony Suite. The cabin was very nice, with a large bathroom. We had a concern about the noise heard from the music venue below in the evenings. Guest Services was very helpful in moving us to another Club Balcony Suite. Thank you.

Ship tip

Enjoy all the buffet food, Speciality Dining and shows. Excellent in every way. And if you are adventurous, try the Speedway Track. Exhilarating and it made me feel so much younger! I enjoyed it three times!

Ports of call

Miami, Florida Did not visit port

I live in Boca Raton and can drive there any time I want.

Great Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas

5 out of 5
The snorkeling was great, as well as swimming and relaxing in the lounge chairs.

Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas

5 out of 5
We enjoyed a relaxing day at Sapphire Beach and experienced great the local food.

Tortola, British Virgin Islands

5 out of 5
We decided to go to The Bath's at Virgin Gorda Island and really enjoyed the time walking among the huge boulders and swimming in the water. Worth the time to get there.

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

5 out of 5
The Wild Truck ride excursion is not for everyone but, was a worthwhile experience.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
We decided to leave the ship early and it was a fast and organized process.
