What Creators Are Saying About Norwegian Encore
In the Caribbean, big is a feature. The ship is the destination, and no doubt about it, Norwegian builds an incredible floating resort. But in Alaska, the ship is not the destination.
Zach
Another amazing cruise has come to an end. How about that? As I walk here on the other side of the pool deck, I notice that we are getting to the west side.
Cruising With JT
I'm not getting off the ship today, but I can get the Star Princess right there. Holland America's Noordam right there. Again, just seeing the other ships out there has been really, really special.
Cruising With JT
It's been an awesome experience as always. Got to love the sailing into Victoria. Really special.
Cruising With JT
I like to sit by myself when I'm solo cruising. I like to sit by myself. So, maybe that's just me.
