Creator's Key Takeaways

I finally ride the go-karts on Norwegian Encore but found them to be a HUGE waste of time!

I don't think that's worth it on a sea day you know there's so many things to do it was very fun but it's only eight minutes.

I've really enjoyed my first time sailing with Norwegian.

Creator's Tips & Advice

โœ“Pack warm clothing for Alaska, including gloves and a good jacket.
โœ“Buy jackets and gear ahead of time from Amazon or REI for better prices.
โœ“If you want to ride the go-karts, book a reservation early or consider the unlimited pass.

Cold weather in Alaska โ€” Layer clothing and buy jackets/gear beforehand from Amazon or REI for better prices.
Go-kart reservations filling up quickly โ€” Book early or consider the unlimited pass; solo travelers may have better odds.

I finally ride the go-karts on Norwegian Encore but found them to be a HUGE waste of time! I also give a ship tour of more of the beautiful NCL Encore, including Cagney's Steakhouse and Los Lobos. 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 on my channel from Norwegian Cruise Line and Norwegian Encore, including a full dining and food review that includes honest opinions on Q Smokehouse, Los Lobos, Cagney's Steakhouse, Ocean Blue, Le Bistro, Taste, Savor, The Local, and more!
