Review summary

The overall cruise was amazing. We enjoyed the variety of entertainment that was onboard the NCL Encore. We enjoyed the excursions that we participated in at the ports of call. I would repeate this cruise.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
Although it was crowded, the process was well organized and moved very smoothly.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
The dining rooms were very nicely appointed. The staff was very friendly. All the food was very good. The only critisizm I had about the food is that the food was more warm than hot. My wife and I would have preferred the food be a little hotter.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
We participated in the Escape Room, Go-Karts and Laser Tag activities. All three activities were very entertaining and fun. We also went to the gym and did Yoga and Palities. We enjoyed them both and had great instructors. All of the prices for the activities were very resonable.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The overall entertainment on the ship was awesome. The NCL crew did an amazing job with having a wide variety of entertainment. We had a Superbowl Party on the 1st day (NICE!). We saw the Chior of Men performance, which was amazing. The only complaint i have about the show performances is that they fill up quickly. So we missed a few of them; but, overall we enjoyed the entertainment.

Children's Programs

We did not come with any children.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service staff was very attentive and made the cruise and excellent voyage.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship was very well designed except for the pool situation. There was a premium on pool deck space. A lot of passengers wanted to get sun and the passangers were scattered all over the place. The ship was very well maintained and clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
The room was very comfortable and spacious. We felt a slight ship vibration when we slept.

Ship tip

As soon as you board the ship book your show entertainment.
