Editorial Summary

The creator documents the first day of an Alaskan cruise departing from Seattle aboard the Norwegian Encore. The journey begins with a stay in a Belltown Airbnb, where the creator notes the unexpectedly cold weather before walking to the port. After arriving at the ship, the group navigates the check-in process, including luggage drop-off and COVID-19 testing. The creator highlights an upgrade to a balcony cabin and expresses satisfaction with the efficiency of the testing site. Once onboard, the group completes the mandatory muster drill and explores various ship amenities, including the buffet, the Garden Cafe, the Speedway, and a water slide. The creator also reviews the dining experience, noting high quality in both the buffet and the main dining room, Taste. The day concludes with a tour of the new balcony stateroom, an appreciation for the available technology and power outlets, and a positive overall impression of the cruise line's organization and service.
