I would not take the Encore ship, because I like using hot tubs, and swimming in a nice, when the air is warm enough. I have seen a lot of hot tubs in my life time, but those hot tubs super small with luke warm water did not belong on a one billion dollar ship, impossible to enjoy when cramped together like sardines.

Onboard Activities
3 out of 5
Didn't care some of the activities on the deck 6, atrium. It took a day to figure out wifi, got a two day refund for really bad or no wifi. Suppose to get new software, hopefully it'll be better.

Very glad I took not only the window, but also the balcony. I sat out on the balcony when we were docked, and the weather was nice. Enjoyed fresh air, watching other ships, scenery.
Ship tip
Be prepared for the ultra small hot, and the water wasn't real warm, and no indoor pool, which would have been nice, when it real windy and cold.
Now the best part of the whole cruise, seeing bald eagles for the time in my life. Saw two sitting side by side on top of a street light, saw another one on a hike. Took the tram also.
Yes, took a excursion into Skadway. You know one thing I would like to have done, horseback ride on the rainforest trail, now that would've been very nice. Also worth saw a very nice waterfall on a creek, such a nice sound. Called Ward creek.
Now this another high point of the cruise, saw a huge waterfall from the snowmelt, man the water was gushing out like crazy, took a picture of it. "Nugent falls I think it was called.
This is where we went to a flower garden, very nice flowers, but gift shop closed. It was kind of laughable because they said we had to be back at 11pm, by bout 9 or 9:30 for sure, it was pitch dark, so couldn't see things far away. This one I could've have traded for a different excursion.
