Review summary

I would pass on this cruise. Short time in the ports and I would confirm the ship doctor was not on my next cruise with NCL.

Everyone was wonderful except the doctor on the ship. I sent a message to NCL via customer service and I’m awaiting a response. I do not appreciate the pressure to visit the doctor after a spa treatment. I’m wondering if other older women were treated as horribly by the doctor on the Encore once they said no to the up sell of fillers, Botox and the like.

It was a solo and I was pleasantly surprised.

Ship tip

Do NOT see the doctor on the Encore. His behavior was unconscionable and unethical.

Docked at night. Our excursion person didn’t talk loud enough for everyone to hear.
