Seabourn Cruises Seabourn Encore - It’s bigger, but is it BETTER? Full Voyage and Ship Review (4K)

Editorial Summary

The creator provides a comprehensive review of the Seabourn Encore, examining whether the ship's increased capacity and size impact the luxury experience. The review compares the Encore to the Odyssey class ships, noting that while the vessel is larger and holds more passengers, the design maintains much of the original DNA. The creator highlights the beautiful internal decor, which evokes the feeling of a private yacht, and praises the improved gym facilities. Dining experiences are a major focus, with high marks for the sushi venue and the refined Keller restaurant, though the loss of the previous restaurant style is noted. The service is described as a significant asset, with staff appearing genuinely happy to assist guests. However, the reviewer identifies several drawbacks associated with the larger scale, including issues with pool area cleanliness, the underutilization of certain spaces like the Retreat, and the environmental impact of double-cupped takeaway coffee. Ultimately, the creator concludes that while the ship is slightly less sleek than its predecessors, it remains a high-quality luxury option that does not significantly compromise the Seabourn standard.
