Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm currently sailing in Alaska and had so much footage from my embarkation day that had to split the footage into without further Ado

I just wish it wasn't all completely outside especially when we get in those colder temperatures in Alaska

I'm really enjoying the ship so far and I can't wait for the rest of the cruise

I am taking my first Norwegian Cruise, sailing on the Norwegian Encore on my first ever Alaska cruise. I boarded the Norwegian Encore in Seattle to head out to Alaska and am taking you along. As I board the Encore I show you all this amazing ship has to offer, including the Starbucks onboard, restaurants and bars, my Studio Stateroom and Studio Lounge, and more! Does the Norwegian Encore and Norwegian Cruise Line have crowd issues? I am so excited to be sailing with Norwegian Cruise Line for the first time onboard the beautiful Norwegian Encore. The NCL Encore debuted in 2019 and is currently sailing Alaska Cruises from Seattle, Washington.
