#norwegiancruiselines #norwegianencore #cruise2021 BECOME A MEMBER! - https://www.youtube.com/@ThisHappyPlaceTravel/join Today's video is 10 tips and tricks that we learned while sailing on the Norwegian Encore. It's a big ship and here are some of the things that we think would have helped us before we boarded: 1. Head towards the back of the Garden Buffet for more seating. 2. The Local is a good option if the buffet is busy - especially for breakfast. 3. Get reservations to the shows you want to see on embarkation day. The shows fill up fast! 4. Get to the observation lounge early! 5. Book your shore excursions online before you sail to save time at the Excursion Desk. 6. The main decks are 6, 7, and 8 - so you if you want to be close to dining, entertainment, and bars, book 9 or 10. 7. We don't recommend paying for the premium drink package. We got it for free, but never could have drank enough to make paying for it worth it. 8. The bar menu remain pretty similar at all the bars. Take a picture on Day 1 to save the hassle of dealing with the QR codes. 9. Even if you don't have a dining plan, try 1 or 2 of the specialty restaurants. 10. Review deck plans ahead of time and download the NCL app!
