Performers were talented and entertaining. There was a wide variety of live music available at different venues every afternoon and evening. If you’re worried about not having a balcony booked on the Encore, don’t – The Waterfront will serve as a wonderful alternative. I love all the comfortable seating and outdoor bars and dining areas. This was one of my favorite spots on the Bliss and the Breakaway and impressed me on the Encore as well. On the last day, I passed out these cards* with an extra cash tip inside to crew members who had made my cruise extra special: The Waterfront It was beyond good though – it was outstanding. Crewĭue to limited capacity on our sailing there was a crew to passenger ratio of around 1:1, so one would expect service to be good. The gym was large and well-equipped with posted hours from 6am-11pm (but was always open already when I arrived at 5:45am). And you can go here for all the restaurant menus on the Encore and here for all the bar menus. You can read my review of Cagney’s Steakhouse here and Los Lobos here. I also ate in two specialty restaurants which was a new and fun experience for me. While the Indian selections were by far my favorite, a quick word about the food in the main dining rooms: It was typical cruise food – good, but not great (which is fine by me, I’m not picky). Things I Loved About the Norwegian Encore The Observation Lounge She currently sails from Miami to the Caribbean in the fall, winter, and spring and to Alaska from Seattle in the summer. She is 1,094 feet long and weighs in at 196,116 gross tons (with all that dessert onboard, it’s no surprise). She has 20 floors with a guest capacity of 3,998 and a crew of 1,735. So those of us who sailed on her in 2021 were sailing on a practically new ship. The Encore, the fourth and last breakaway-plus class ship in Norwegian’s fleet, debuted in November 2019 just a few months before Covid hit and shut down the cruising industry for over a year. Then we’ll move onto my opinion which is the equivalent of your cousin Chet swearing that 30 consecutive hours on the leg press machine sprint pumping the maximum weight, followed by a Clorox enema and a dinner of grass-fed beef and organic broccoli cured him of Covid. This section is the equivalent of the CDC version: the facts as they exist today.
Now that we have that settled, read on if you actually came here with the intention of learning more about the Encore and didn’t accidentally land here after googling “horrible 90’s rap references you should never use in blog posts.” The Norwegian Encore: The Facts And if they push back, put your hand out and do a dramatic 180 degree turn as you threaten to take me with you instead of them. Go ahead, tell your husband or wife or partner that Prof. If there’s one thing you should learn from this lecture, even if you have no interest in the Encore, it’s that it’s always a good time to book a cruise, any cruise on any line on any ship going to any port. And I was eager to sail as a newly Platinum Latitudes member on NCL (well not so newly, but cruising shut down right after I turned Platinum in February 2019) for five.īut does one ever need a reason to book a cruise? Any cruise? On any ship, big or small? And capacity was limited to around 60% for four. And I had a bunch of NCL credit to use by the end of the year for two. So why did I book the Norwegian Encore, you ask? Because I could walk to it from my apartment in downtown Seattle for one. I love all cruise ships, but I prefer the smaller, understated ones to the big, flashy ones. Let me try that again without the overused 90’s rap reference. Actually that’s a lie, at least a partial one.
