Creator's Key Takeaways

we are getting on the norwegian that's hard to say norwegian encore today and our port arrival time is in about two and a half hours

waiting to get those test results was one of the most nerve-wracking things i think i've done in so long

it was pretty easy i think other than the covet test it's no different than normally getting on

YouTube Video Description

The day to finally board the Norwegian Encore is here! The morning is a bit hectic. We drop off our luggage before heading back to the Marriott Seattle Waterfront for our pre-cruise Covid tests. Nerves were HIGH! After getting those negative results, we head to the port and go over the entire process for you! We board the ship by 11 and start eating and drinking immediately. We do a quick room tour and let you know our thoughts about that before a little overview of the ship. We leave Seattle and unpack before heading to Le Bistro for dinner. See our full review of our dinner there before we sign off! #norwegiancruiseline #norwegianencore #cruise2021 🛒 Visit our Amazon shop for travel must-haves (Affiliate link): https://www.amazon.com/shop/thishappyplace Pre-Alaska Cruise Travel & Day in Seattle Vlog - https://youtu.be/UNUJa0E-1-I We took a Disney Cruise in 2018 - if you're interested in those vlogs, check them out here: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcHaURqh15XQCNeDDnb4KofDG7OAA_VjR Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThisHappyPlace Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/thishappyplacetravel #AlaskanCruise #Alaska #Cruising #CruiseVlog Norwegian Encore Vlog Norwegian Cruise Line Norwegian Encore Seattle Cruise Embarkation NCL NCL Encore Norwegian Cruise Embarkation Alaskan Cruise Embarkation Le Bistro Alaskan Packing Norwegian Cruise Line Room Norwegian Encore Room Tour Norwegian Encore Tour Norwegian Encore Food Norwegian Encore Drinks Norwegian Encore Sail Away Party Norwegian Encore Cocktails Norwegian Encore Bars Norwegian Encore Specialty Restaurants Norwegian Encore Buffet Cruising During Covid
