Creator's Key Takeaways

One of my favorite bars on board the Norwegian Encore, the Maltings Whiskey Bar. Great experience, great vibe. And of course, great drinks. Love this place.

The Lotus Spa, Enclave, and MSC's uh Aurea Spa are the three best spas I've ever been to. Uh they're the best.

Onda by Scarpetta, a very nice upscale, elegant Italian restaurant. I actually dined here recently as well. Highly highly recommend. Extremely delicious. Very great food, incredible service.

The atrium is the heartbeat of the ship here on board the beautiful Norwegian Encore.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Book shore excursions before the cruise because they get more expensive.
βœ“If buying photos, get a package for a better cost per picture.
βœ“For the Garden Cafe buffet, go to the back of the buffet if you want more seating.
βœ“Request turkey or veggie burgers in advance at the American Diner.

Photo costs β€” They are pretty pricey unless you get the package, you get a better deal.
Vegetarian food options β€” Food Republic is not super veggie-friendly, but the Local Bar & Grill makes veggie burgers and the Garden Cafe has various stations.
Spa pricing β€” It's not cheap; you're going to have to pay up a pretty penny.
