Overall we had a great time and experience. Loved it and would do it again. The ship was full capacity but you’d never know it cause the staff were plentiful and provided quick service.Embarkation
Ship experiences
Food and Dining
Q Texas Smokehouse
The food here is very good and portion sizes are huge. I couldn’t eat it all and didn’t even order all the options the waiter said you could pick.
Onboard Activities
Main Pool
The main pool got pretty busy on sea days but wait times at the bar were actually pretty short. 10 minutes tops for us when we were there.
Encore Casino
Spent some time at the Casino. It was pretty busy in the evening but had no problem making donations.
Entertainment
Encore Theater
Seen the Beatles Invasion and The Choir of Man. Both shows were very well done and entertaining.

Ship tip
Book your excursions when you book your trip. It saves you time and they will have your tickets printed for you ahead of time. Plus it’s one less thing to worry about when you board. Book specialty restaurants as soon as the booking period opens. They fill fast. Book your other dinners as soon as you board and connect to wifi for the same reason. I found doing it through the NCL app was easier than the screens they have around the ship. Same goes for activity’s or shows. Book them asap as they fill quick. If you wait until the show to walk up and try to get in, you will likely be disappointed. Lastly.. settle back and enjoy yourself.. you’re on vacation and they have you covered.
