Excellent itinerary. Definitely one of the best cruises we have always taken.

This cruise itinerary was excellent. Our cabin steward, Mr Rivera, was very accommodating with our schedule and very helpful. we discovered that a couple of things were not working in the cabin. We told him the same day we sailed from Miami and the issues were taken care that same night. We had all of our evening meals at the Indigo Restaurant. Several people are worth mentioning; Singh ( I ...

We had never been to Columbia, Panama, Guatemala or the Mexican Riviera and transiting the Panama Canal had been on our bucket list. It was the trip of a lifetime. I had upgraded from an inside cabin to a Club Balcony and another upgrade to the Haven to surprise my wife. She was shocked! There were a few disappointments starting with Embarkation. We arrived at our scheduled time to find a 3 ...

We selected this cruise to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary and wanted to make it truly special. NCL came through on all fronts. The new Miami Port is spectacular and we were welcomed like royalty. There were plenty of food options from main dining to a pub to Asian fusion to specialty dining. The food was also hot on arrival, seasoned and delicious. The entertainment was most ...

Fantastic voyage despite some unexpected shortcomings

The jewel was impeccably clean, and well maintained despite its age. The crew were all very friendly, super helpful. There were activities all over the ship at all hours of the day and a show inside the Stardust theatre every night. No matter if it was a port day or sea day, there was never a dull moment. During this Nov sailing, the ship was more than half empty. I suspect because most kids ...

This was the second of back to back cruises I did on the Encore. It was wonderful to have the same cabin for both cruises and not have to move or go off the ship to check back in. I must admit, 28 days on a cruise ship is a bit much, but I had a wonderful time. On this second cruise, it was nice because there were a lot less people on board. I heard that there were only 1900 or so at ...

This was our first cruise back after the Pandemic slowed down. Once we cleared the mandatory Covid test at the port we boarded quickly and with lots of well wishes from the staff we passed. The ship was spotlessly clean. The staff was extremely happy to have us on board! There were only about 900 passengers on board, so there was never a wait for anything. Restaurants had immediate seating, ...

The Crew Makes the Cruise

The ship is huge and beautiful with so much to do that in a 16 day cruise, there were still areas of the ship we just never spent considerable time in. Due to Covid, this cruise sailed well below passenger capacity. For that reason, we felt like we had the run of the ship. The only area that was fully booked, was the Haven. The crew was fantastic, in all areas. This includes the deck crew who ...

This was our 10th cruise on NCL and the Panama Canal cruise was on our bucket list. We had the same cruise scheduled for 2021 but it was cancelled due to COVID. We were excited when NCL started sailing again but became worried when the Omicron wave hit Fortunately our cruise was not cancelled. We would have been devastated. NCL's health and safety protocols were outstanding. We tested at the ...

The Panama Canal transit cruise was a bucket list trip for us. Originally a 60th birthday present for my spouse - last year - it was delayed a year due to the pandemic and restart of cruising. We made our final payments in October, and then Omicron hit in mid-December - yikes. But, we decided to go ahead and go anyway as we figured it would be a safe way to travel during the pandemic - and we were ...
