Creator's Key Takeaways

we were one of the first to board this ship so we got to take a quick sneak peek of the casino before anybody was on board

we found the casino first of all was non-smoking so that was really nice

Here are the thrilling highlights from our unforgettable NCL Encore Caribbean cruise! We embarked on an amazing journey to Taino Bay (Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic), St. Thomas, and Tortola in January 2025. Although the weather kept us from visiting Great Stirrup Cay, the adventure was still absolutely fabulous! #cruisenorwegian #nclencore #travel #travelvlog #vacation #enjoythemoments #nclcruise #vacationmode
