<div>The ports were friendly. The souvenirs were fairly priced. The excursions were, for the most part exciting. On the whale watching trip we saw plenty of whales, sea lions, seals, eagles, etc. The white pass mountain trip was educational without being dull. The Mushers camp was very fun. The downside to any of these was that the time of the excursion took all the time in port. On several occasions we were very nervous that we would not make it to the boat on time to leave. However, NCL was less than we hoped. Meals were dry and tasteless. The portions were barely enough for a child over 10. The menus on tv and screen by elevators were useless. They did not indicate the open times for the restaurants nor the menu for the day.</div>

Room was ideal for 2 adults. The crew was amazing, always happy and willing to help. The staff in the shops were great too! There are definitely a few and I wish i could remember there names that will stick with me. There were times it was hard to find seating inside to eat but being patient is key in this situation.

Our balcony room was nice inside. However, our balcony was directly above the ships designated smoking area one deck below. That was horrid. I am allergic to cigarette smoke and get bad nasal sore throats. The #1 smell I hate and same with my husband cannot stand cigarette smoke. The lack of port time was disappointing as well. After coming home, we researched other cruise ships itineraries that seem to offer more in port time. We observed while we were in port another cruise ship that seem to always have the best in port location that was close to the in-town shops etc. getting back to the competitors ship more efferently. This was our first cruise. We may do another cruise or maybe not; However, I will do more research for ourselves before doing so

The 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.

The 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.

I'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.

My 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.

I 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.

Amazing 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.

Thus us a beautiful ship. We especially enjoyed the 15 deck. Our cabin was spacious and had a wonderful location to the elevators and other decks. I would highly recommend this ship and Norwegian Cruise Line.
