Norwegian Encore Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Thoroughly enjoyed this cruise. Would HIGHLY recommend. Encore was a great ship.

This was our first cruise. Norwegian was so responsive to our every need. Food was delicious at all free places as well as the LeBistro.

Overall, 4 out of 5 stars. The Encore is a great ship, the staff care was very good. Just wish the excursions were better.

Other than the HORRIBLE service in the spa the cruise and trip were great.

Plenty to do for younger people. My only complaint was way to many people on this ship for the size of the venues. Difficulty booking restaurants ,shows , comedy club and seating in the Atrium.

This ship had a LOT of people on board and the cruise line did a great job at every port of call getting everyone on and off the ship. Our dining was gray also we never waited for a table even with no reservations. There were too many people for the size of the pool area. Most of the time at sea you could not find a chair to sit. Norwegian scheduled our flights and the trip home was a total disappointment. Our flight was scheduled with United Air and they transferred us to Silver Airway who has a reputation for delayed and canceled flights. They did not disappoint our flight was scheduled for 5:40 pm we boarded the plane at midnight so we sat in the air port from 11 am till 12 am not a good way to end the trip

Nice ship nice cruise. Since it was Seattle to Seattle a little shorter time in some ports compared to a north or southbound. Mega ship so can’t get Ketchikan, have to dock at Ward cove and take a 7 mile ride.Disembarkation was a complete nightmare.

Great short cruise for my mom and I for Mother’s Day. A cruise is what you make it, and we made the best of it.

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.

The cruise was great, but Ivan start feeling seek on Sunday June 18 the day of disembarking, he was tested Covid positive next day (June 19th), his wife Zhanna was tested positive on June 20th, our kids are still fine, which might be one of three possible reasons, thirst - they got luck, second they are young and do not have enough receptors to bind the virus, third - they did not attend activities which made their parents seek. Ivan and Zhanna attended three sessions of wine testing and one day of spa. If other passengers reported getting seek and were involved in the same activities, you might figure out the source of the infection and prevent it from happening to other guests.

Overall a great cruise. Beautiful scenery, informative tour operators.

I would recommend the Haven if you desire first class service and amenities. NCL is a great cruise

Weather was misty rain for first 3 days then sunny the rest. Balcony was wonderful especially to listen to the water at night with door open. It was entertaining during the daytime while on the ship and everyone was friendly.

Overall, it was a great experience and we recommend it 100%.

This was one of our very favorite cruises! The ship design allowed for many options for both large and small gatherings, inside and out. We really like the outside spaces on 8 in the evening. Quiet, but with a bar that is never crowded we could just relax.

The cruise was great, wish we could spend more time in Victoria,didn’t get off the ship.

Disappointed that we skipped Skagway two years in a row. No compensation offered. Should have given everyone free wifi for the day since we had to endure another sea day.

our favorite ship of the three cruises so far. the best buffet and specialty dining food was excellent

Norwegian takes the lion’s share of guest’s tips given to casino dealers. This is abhorrent.

Overall, we had a great time. NCL does a great job. We wanted to relax and not do too much and we did. You can do as much or as little as you want to do. My only complaint was the pool areas, while they post don't hold chairs and they will remove your items, they never do. I think if they would follow their policy and make people realize it will happen, it would reduce all of the empty chairs while others are walking around looking for them.
