Speaker was not being heard in our stateroomRECOMMENDED
YesThe cruise itself was amazing. The crew staff were very pleasant, knowledgeable, accommodating, and attentive to the needs of the guests. I never experienced anything less then 100% of their attention to detail. Our luggage was transported to the airport and our boarding passes were taken care of upon embarkation; we were taken by shuttle to the airport from the cruise line. It was such a smooth process. They did everything for us. We were in total awe. Thank you NCL for making our first cruise a fabulous one. Great memories to share and remember. We've already passed the word around to friends and family.

YesThe Norwegian Encore is a wonderful cruise experience - we loved every moment on the ship and had a great time. There is something for everyone - from the dining options, on board activities to the cruise itinerary - you can make your vacation yours. Highly recommend experiencing this ship - I don't think you will be disappointed.

1) Classy, comfy, clean, excellent dining options and relaxed cruising. 2) Staff always keeping everything clean. 3) Hosts reminding folks to "Washy,Washy" before walking in to dining/common areas. 4) Modern, updated well thought out floorpan in cabin bathroomsCONS
Can't think of anything major that would stand out. Minor stuff not worth mentioning.RECOMMENDED
YesI've cruised a few times and this was the first time on NCL. After this experience, highly unlikely I will cruise with a different cruise line. The staff was professional, friendly and efficient. The customer service training is excellent and the staff appeared genuinely sincere in helping one out. Excellent attitudes encountered everywhere.

We’ll run, staff is attentive and professional. The food is wonderful. Great programs for kids. The 13-17 year old group was fantastic!CONS
I wish some of the amenities didn’t cost extra on the ship (virtual reality room, laser tag)RECOMMENDED
YesMy teenage girls LOVED the Entourage 13-17 year old group. They said the kids there were friendly and they hung out with their new friends even outside the teen club room. I do wish there was a program for 18-20. Too old for Entourage (teen group) and too young to have a drink at the bar (on the Alaskan cruise). The ship did a great job with COVID mitigation. Staff very attentive especially at mealtime reminding people to wash hands before and after eating, etc.

Friendly Staff, great entertainment, free style dining, nightly themed dance partyCONS
Horrible app, internet availability, short port timesRECOMMENDED
YesI can’t say enough about the staff on the Encore. They go above and beyond! Food was wonderful and with free style dining you can choose how formal or informal you want to be on any given night. I found the app very difficult to navigate pre Cruise and even worse once we boarded. I stood in line at the internet desk three different times for over an hour each time and never got close to speaking to anyone. There was only one person on duty at the desk intermittently during certain times. We would rather have gone to fewer ports and had more time at the stops. Four hours is not long enough.

YesAmazing views. Incredible ship. Fantastic hospitality. There's not much time left in Skagway or Ketchikan to see the town if you're doing excursions. All of the shops in Victoria were already closed upon our arrival and the only shops were staged at the dock. So plan accordingly.
