Creator's Key Takeaways

we just got back from our first Norwegian Cruise aboard the Norwegian encore beautiful ship

we didn't get a spot on the pool deck once so unless you're waking up early yeah heading out there

the comedy on Norwegian sucks don't do it

go see choir of men whatever ship it's on go see it and if you're a Beer Drinker show up 10 to 15 minutes early

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Reserve show and tender times using the screens on the ship instead of waiting in line.
✓Check the daily Navigator or app for slide and activity times.
✓Consider buying the Vibe Beach Pass for better seating on sea days.
✓Try main dining areas for breakfast and lunch to avoid buffet seating issues.
✓Go see the Choir of Men show and arrive early if you're a beer drinker.
