Review summary

Would definitely cruise the Encore again. Large ship with anything you could want on a cruise

Embarkation

3 out of 5

There are several different lines for casino bookings, loyalty levels, priority access, etc but they're not easy to see and it's easy to get corralled into the regular line

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Everything was fantastic and service was reasonably quick

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We saw one of the comedians as well as Choir of Man. Both were incredible. Can't miss

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Everyone was very friendly. As always if you "grease the wheels" with your favorite bartender you'll never have an empty glass

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very clean, spacious enough, and views to die for. FYI you want to be towards the front or middle of the ship to be closer to top destinations

Ship tip

Don't miss the observation lounge! There's food thrice a day, the comfiest seating on board, and is never as crowded as other public spaces

We will be on her this Sunday 3-12 for seven days. We sailed her inaugural 9 days from South Hampton and two other times also. She is our favorite ship in the fleet we have sailed on. I have heard some say they don't like larger ships, but the Encore and her sister ships have enough space and activities that make it enjoyable without it seeming overly crowded.
