Norwegian Encore Cruise Reviews - Reviews

This ship has amenities for all ages. From bowling, extreme water slides, virtual reality simulator rides, race tracks, laser tag, Broadway-style productions, exquisite décor, and a variety of cuisines. Highlights: The Galaxy Pavillion, laser tag, and the race track. There is a race track on the cruise ship. Need I say more. Due to timing and weather, I actually didn’t have an opportunity to participate, but I did see the extraordinary layout of these exhibits. Simply remarkable. Bravo Norwegian! Or shall I say, Encore!

Overall a stunning ship with tons of amenities. I wish more were included in the fare but definitely my favorite ncl ship thus far.

I love the activities on this ship. The Galaxy Pavilion is fun!

Wonderful experience, can’t wait to sail the Encore

Overall the Encore is a beautiful ship. It offers great amenities that everyone would love from the go karts and laser tag to the beautiful and relaxing spa.

Our time spent on the Encore was very enjoyable. It is a beautiful new ship with plenty to do. One of our favorite spots was the Observation lounge with its abundance of windows and it’s location at the front of the ship. Unfortunately, due to weather we didn’t get to enjoy much of the outdoor amenities that it had to offer.

Amazing new ship. Great entertainment. Overall well done.

Had a wonderful time onboard! Everything from the entertainment to the dining was a great experience. The staff onboard were very friendly and always greeted us with a smile.

Fabulous ship. Recommend a maiden voyage to everyone. Completely wonderful.

This cruise was my first transatlantic. I was celebrating my birthday and it didn’t disappoint. The entertainment was top notch. The dance parties and game shows were so much fun. I had an excellent cruise!!

Have had "adventurous" transatlantic before that I have absolutely loved but this was not great trip. I liked the ship (so many bugs or questionable design choices) and would liked the Ship again if we traveled in warmer climates & calmer seas. It seemed were obviously using us to test the ship on it's Inaugural trip. If the Captain had taken a more warmer/southern route avoiding the storms and allowed us to enjoy the facilities (deck facilities & pools closed 75% of the time) the trip would have been wonderful. It didn't help having to wait and wait in NY so they could have a "photo-opt" with the Escape or the loss of the last night the day before disembarkation day for passport control (they made us empty the ship then get back on - the crew tried to make it as painless as possible - loved them for that). We had an OK time but it could have been so much better.

Fantastic cruise with a fantastic staff. We did miss the towel animals. Maybe they could have at least one during a cruise.

We have sailed NCL for 15 years, 29 NCL cruises, always receive excellent service. We just love the crew, have met so many and it is such a joy to see them over and over!

The Norwegian Encore will do very well on family oriented vacation s in the Caribbean

Overall, Encore is a standard Breakaway Plus class ship with a few odd design decisions made by NCL. I would avoid any warm weather sailings on this ship unless you prefer to sit indoors.

A great and beautiful new ship. I definitely recommend Transatlantic cruises, for relaxation. But there may be weather!

It did have higher seas. Very relaxing and had some good entertainment

Just not the Norwegian we are used to! Not lots to do on the ship evening entertainment definitely lacking

This was our second T/A and the weather cooperated. The ports were changed after booking and the new ports were better!

Wonderful experience. Only suggestion was to have one extra sea day at the end so we could rest at the end of a busy cruise.
