Creator's Key Takeaways

So, on the Norwegian Joy, they debuted the Galaxy Pavilion. And on the Encore, they've expanded the space.

I absolutely love this. Uh they've got this game where it's a soccer with an automated goalie

This is my favorite. So you're going to put the goggles on. So you basically get totally desensitized.

It's just a lot of fun to do together.

Creator's Tips & Advice

If you are prone to being seasick, keep in mind the motion of the ocean when using VR experiences.
Consider buying a $60 card for 18 plays to get the cost down to about $3 per play.
The escape room costs $15 for up to 45 minutes and can accommodate up to six people.

YouTube Video Description

Step inside the Galaxy Pavilion and explore a virtual reality world unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Immersive VR experiences and thrilling simulator rides are just the beginning. Use your wits to solve the puzzles of an escape room featuring holograms and enchanted artifacts. Then come back and experience the excitement all over again. We LOVED the Galaxy Pavilion aboard the Norwegian Joy, and we wondered how they could improve on such a great space... Then came their Encore. From trying to beat the mechanical soccer goalie, to VR racing in a full size F1 car it doesn't get much better than this! The new maze games that use a small area to simulate a nearly endless maze are really incredible. Add in the shooter element of having to fend off zombies or other creatures and the experience gets taken to the next level. Danny and I were smart enough not to try and ride the Terminator this round... (watch the Joy tour to see what I'm talking about) The pricing for the Galaxy Pavilion varies depending on which amount of ride experiences you purchase. They got rid of the unlimited pass that we got used to on the Joy, but the added benefit of buying more experiences gets the price down quite a bit. AND ITS WORTH IT! NORWEGIAN ENCORE Jaw-Dropping Cruise Activities Cutting-edge technology and daring new thrills take cruising to a whole new level. Watch the ocean blur by as you zoom around curves suspended 13 feet over the side of the ship on Norwegian Speedway, the largest race track at sea. Bring the secrets of the past to life in the lost city of Atlantis, where laser tag meets augmented reality. Ready for an immersive experience of a whole other level? Step into the high-tech, virtual world of the Galaxy Pavilion. Spa There are plenty of ways to be pampered. Unwind in the Thermal Suite with a steam or a dip in the Vitality Pool. Check out the Salt Room and chill out in our Snow Room. Or simply indulge in a hot-stone massage. Treat yourself. You deserve it. Encore Speedway With over 1100 feet of pedal-to-the-metal action, the largest race track at sea is bigger, better and only on Norwegian. Watch the ocean blur by as you zoom around high-speed curves suspended 13 feet off the side of the ship. And spectators can get in on the action, too! Revolutionary interactivity lets you boost your favorite racer past the finish.
