Norwegian Encore, 5 things I would have done differently and 2 bonus tips

Editorial Summary

The creators share reflections from their first Norwegian Cruise aboard the Norwegian Encore, detailing five specific changes they would make and providing two bonus tips. They suggest purchasing the Vibe Beach Pass to avoid the difficulty of finding seating on the crowded pool decks. They also recommend utilizing main dining areas for breakfast and lunch to avoid the seating challenges found in the buffet. Regarding activities, they advise checking the app for water slide operating hours and suggest renting clam shells at Great Stirrup Cay for better shade and proximity to food. The creators note that reserving tender times was unnecessary as the process was not strictly enforced. For bonus tips, they highlight the convenience of using large digital screens located near elevators to make reservations for shows and excursions rather than waiting in lines. They also recommend seeing the Choir of Men show and suggest arriving early to the performance to potentially receive complimentary beer. Finally, they note that the walking track is only accessible before nine in the morning and after five in the evening due to deck chair placement.
