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.
Pros: Everything was great
Cons: Getting on and off the ship was a bit chaotic but I guess to be expected with that many people.

The staff on the Encore went out if their way to make sure you were enjoying yourself and had everything you needed. The entertainment was fun. It was our first cruise and we had a fantastic time.
Pros: Excellent service. Food was very good. There were a lot of options to chose from as far as food goes. Cabin was spacious. We had a wonderful time
Cons: Some of the ports were only a couple of hours and early. But overall our excursions worked out great.

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.
Pros: Crew, Stateroom, Accomodations, Excursions, Dining, Entertainment, Everything!
Cons: Speaker was not being heard in our stateroom

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.
Pros: Fabulous dining options, fun on board activities, wonderful staff/customer service
Cons: Additional charges for Speedway, VR arena and laser tag
