Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Food was above average overall. Some very tasty dishes and great service from the staff. Cagney's and Ocean Blue were especially good.

4 out of 5
Pool was very crowded on sea days.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
We particularly enjoyed Archie (singer/piano player) who performed often in the District.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Our room attendant (Wyne) was excellent. Took care of all of our needs always with a smile. Bartenders in the A-List Bar and the Casino Bar took great care of us.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Although the NCL Encore is due for refurbishment later this year, it is still clean and in really good condition.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Very comfortable cabin that was always clean.

Ship tip

This District Brew Pub is a nice place to end the evening with fun entertainment and great service.
