10 Days of Mediocre Food, Less than Stellar Entertainment, and Being Nickel and Dimed all day

Review for a Caribbean - Eastern Cruise on Norwegian Encore

We chose this cruise because we got a significant discount due to casino play. The ship is beautiful; the staff is professional, attentive, and friendly. But there's not much to do, and there's an upcharge for much of the entertainment. Our first sticker-shock was when we did a wine and cheese pairing. We got a 40% discount because we paid to upgrade our drink package to premium. When the check ...

Not a great first cruise experience.

First, this was the first time I've ever been on a cruise for more than 1 day. This was a 7 day Caribbean cruise. Overall, it wasn't much different than staying at a floating theme resort. The stops along the way definitely were worth the trip. That said, there isn't much out there to prepare a Newby for such an experience. The staff was nice, but not very helpful. They couldn't answer any ...

A mediocre cruise experience overall. Pros: Cabin steward did a good job. Nice whiskey selection. Gym is nice (especially the steam sauna in the locker room). Cigar room is great. Sushi restaurant was pretty good. Cons: Food was just ok overall (even in specialty restaurants). Shows in main theater were "meh." The biggest problem was the service in bars and restaurants: inexplicably, ...

If you like sitting in your cabin, the norwegian epic is the ship for you. There were so many people on the ship, we waited 20-30 for a drink at every bar, for anything other than the buffet there was an hour and a half wait from the moment they opened, we couldn’t get a seat on the pool deck, and couldn’t get into any shows (even showing up 45 minutes early). On sea days, it was almost impossible ...

Friends of mine booked this cruise and asked us to join them. I have heard such good things about cruises but this was not my experience. The ship was clean but is very small. Boarding unorganized Paid for priority access but that was of little benefit. Seafood canapes delivered to cabin on day we were in port and off the ship. No clue how long they were sitting non-refrigerated. Threw ...

We booked NCL for the first time and will probably not go with them again. Pros: The food at the buffet was very good, great diversity and service was good. We never ate in the dining room because the buffet offered so much. The Choir of Man, showing in the theatre was excellent. You had to have a reservation but it was free. Mediocre: The drink package was "included" but there ...

We booked this cruise with the pre paid free at sea option. It included drinks, dinner and wi-fi. We had also prepaid gratuities. NCL neglected to enter this information on our sea pass and began charging us. Now we had to stand in the mile long day one line for guest relations. They then asked us to present proof of purchase. I guess their computer programs were unable to bring this ...

First Time Cruiser • Age 60s

This was my 22d cruise since 2016, with 13 cruises on Carnival, three on Royal, three on MSC, and two prior cruises on the NCL Getaway in ’16 and ’18. I usually book through one of the large singles cruises companies and share a room. On this cruise my girlfriend had also booked a room (long story). Overall, I was excited to go on the Encore in spite of not-so-warm feelings from the Getaway, ...

My wife and I just returned from the Norwegian Escape after taking a trip over New Years and her birthday. We really love to cruise. This was our first experience with Norwegian and for the record we have been on cruises with Holland America, Carnival, Princess and Royal Caribbean. We are comparing to everyone but MSC as we haven't been on their line yet. I perceived Norwegian as an upper ...

Let’s start by highlighting the positives…hmmm. Well most of the crew was pleasant. The attendants at the buffets were great. Food was extremely mediocre. We ate at the buffet because of the kids. The room was nice. My blanket was dirty so I took it off the bed and requested a new one. Most dishes were bland and overcooked. Fish tasted like cardboard, chicken was dry and very little flavor. Very ...
