Creator's Key Takeaways

This is the first true escape room concept on Norwegian Cruise Lines.

The Encore is really the evolution of the Breakaway Breakaway Plus classes to a spot where I think Norwegians really perfected them.

I had an absolute blast playing laser tag.

The Indian food is one of my favorite parts of any Norwegian cruise.
