Creator's Key Takeaways

I've been cruising with Norwegian since I was 11 and I've been on similar ships in the past

Norwegian Encore is the largest ship in norwegian's Fleet so it's not surprising that sometimes I did get lost in the corridors

Norwegian do have a solution to this and it lays below everybody's feet along the passenger corridors the carpets have fish on them and almost all of these fish are swimming forward

I took a cruise on the Norwegian Sun and there was one red fish that was going backwards a very independent little fish

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Use the fish on the carpets to navigate forward on Norwegian Encore
โœ“Book the 'Choir of Man' show as soon as possible, but don't worry if you can't do it pre-cruise
โœ“Eat early in the main dining room to avoid waiting for a table
โœ“Visit the promenade deck for a protected outdoor area, especially in cold weather

Norwegian Cruise Line recently welcomed @EmmaCruises aboard Norwegian Encore to share her journey in a 4-part video series. Check out part four of the series and join the conversation, below! - - - When I boarded Norwegian Encore in Seattle, I thought I knew what to expect, Iโ€™ve been cruising with Norwegian since I was 11 and have been on similar ships in the past, but there were still things about Encore that took me by surprise. If I had known these things pre-cruise, Iโ€™d have saved myself time and money. This video is just one part of a series.

Norwegian Encore is the largest ship in the Norwegian fleet, so itโ€™s not surprising that sometimes I get lost. It can be hard to know which way is forward and which is back in the corridors because they mostly look the same. Norwegian Encore is over 300 metres long, the same as 23 buses lined up or 3 big bens on their side, so you donโ€™t want to go the wrong way. In the past, I have been late to meeting friends just because I went back instead of forward or vice versa and ended up getting very lost. Norwegian do have a solution to this and it lays below everybody's feet. Along the passenger corridors, the carpets have fish on them, and almost all of these fish are swimming forward. I say almost always because I canโ€™t be sure that there isnโ€™t one cheeky little fish that is going the other way. I took a cruise a little while ago on Norwegian Sun, and one red fish was going backwards. Sheโ€™s a very independent little fish! I never saw any going the other way on Encore, but I didnโ€™t walk along every single corridor of the ship, so I canโ€™t say for sure, that would take ages. Some of the newer Norwegian ships have triangles on the carpets that mean the same thing. - - Book & Plan Your Norwegian Cruise: https://www.ncl.com/?CID=SM_MOS_NA_ORGS_YOU_NA_TXT_YTSHIPTOURS_cBH0ey8otUw_NA_NA Explore Norwegian Encore: https://www.ncl.com/cruise-ship/encore?CID=SM_MOS_NA_ORGS_YOU_NA_TXT_YTSHIPTOURS_cBH0ey8otUw_NA_NA Be sure to subscribe to Norwegian Cruise Lineโ€™s YouTube channel to stay updated on the latest cruise deals, news and updates: http://youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=NorwegianCruiseLine [Paid Partnership]
