Creator's Key Takeaways

Norwegian Encore is a beautiful ship, but is Norwegian Encore the right ship to sail in Alaska?

Norwegian fix your app your ships are fantastic it's a beautiful ship having a good experience so far but the technology is very Unbecoming of a ship this nice

I was really pleasantly surprised and so far all the food is surprised

Choir of man is I think the only Stage production show that we will have on board this Cruise a very good show

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Book the Choir of Man show as soon as possible because it fills up quickly
โœ“Consider using the observation lounge for a quieter breakfast instead of the crowded buffet
โœ“Use the interactive displays on the ship to make reservations if the app isn't working

YouTube Video Descriptionโ†“

It's the first sea day onboard Norwegian Encore as we head toward Alaska. I take in the sights around the ship, including the Choir of Man show and a delicious lunch in the main dining room. However, I have some problems with tech issues on the Norwegian mobile app and return to a dirty stateroom! Norwegian Encore is a beautiful ship, but is Norwegian Encore the right ship to sail in Alaska? Norwegian Encore is the largest ship in the NCL fleet and often cannot port in the smaller cruise ports of Alaska while on these Alaska cruises. I enjoyed 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. Check out the luggage featured in this video: https://tinyurl.com/zachthetravelingman I will have many videos to come from Norwegian Cruise Line and Norwegian Encore, including a full dining and food review.
