Norwegian Encore Cruise Reviews

Have done this itinerary before on the NCL Encore , Bliss and Jewel. Last time on the Encore, in 2021, ship capacity was held down to about 60%. This time it was at 100% or more. I was expecting crowding, and that was certainly the case. The main choke points were at the elevators and in the buffet. If you are able to take the stairs, which we mostly were not, you can get where you are going ...

Alaska has been on our bucket list for quite a while. This was our 13th cruise and all with NCL and the second time on the Encore(last Dec in the Carib). There were some spectacular sights to see, particularly Glacier Bay and a whale tour in Scagway that we had to book on our because NCL didn't reserve enough spaces. We booked before we left home the very same tour(for less $). On the down ...

We went with them on an Alaska cruise Sept. 2023 on their Encore. I listed my complaints I submitted to the cruise line below if you want details. After I sent them my complaints, they quickly dismissed all my complaints saying that they didn't received any report from their staff on any of my problems! There's nothing they need to do! So basically, they completely ignored my complaints! If I can ...

My husband got me this cruise for our 10yr wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! We chose to book a stateroom in the Haven, our room was called a Courtyard Penthouse with Balcony. We were on Deck 18 in the middle of the ship. We LOVED the location of our room! It was super convenient being right across from the restaurant and right above the stairs to the bar. The ships design and decor ...

This was a fantastic cruise on the Norwegian Encore as she sails to the absolute best cruise destination, Alaska. Our voyage was a round trip Seattle calling in Juneau, Skagway, the breathtaking Glacier Bay, Ketchikan, and Victoria. We sailed on the Encore’s inaugural voyage on November 24, 2019. And we sailed on the Encore for NCL’s Great Cruise Comeback voyage on August 8, 2021, NCL’s first ...

Ports not enough time and /or wrong times of day! Ketsiguin Alaska was only 3.5 hours arrived at 7AM. Nothing opens that early. Glacier Bay was disappointing as we inly saw I or two actual glaciers! Could have skipped had morr time in ports. Ship sails too far away From land so not slot to see you are st seas too long! Victoria was another rediculous short stop wy 8pm mass st every thinbh ...

DO NOT LET NORWEGIAN BOOK YOUR FLIGHTS TO AND FROM YOUR CRUISE Norwegian will offer you their free at sea package and then claim that the flights are buy one and get the 2nd persons flight free. Its a lie. They will charge you more than twice what one persons flight actually costs and god forbid if you miss a connection through no fault of your own, of course the airline will refund your ticket ...

Start out with a few positive things. The ship was clean and well-maintained. Food choices were pretty decent. The onboard entertainment was probably the best part of being on the ship. We did see a lot of neat and scenic areas in our travels around Alaska. On the negative side. It was very crowded and noisy on the ship. We did not spend enough time at our ports. We were rushed and could not ...

We have cruised northern Europe, Mediterranean, China/Hong Kong/Viet Nam, Australia, Hawaii, on a variety of ships. We enjoyed this cruise the least. The ship was so loud and so crowded, so full of drunk people day and night. The center of the ship, the Atrium, was very difficult to conduct business at Excursion desk or Customer service or eat at the Tavern due to microphoned staff playing ...
