Creator's Key Takeaways

I decided staying onboard Norwegian Encore was actually the better choice. With fewer crowds onboard, peaceful outdoor spaces, and a calm atmosphere throughout the ship, it ended up being one of the most enjoyable nights.

I'm not getting off the ship today, but I can get the Star Princess right there. Holland America's Noordam right there. Again, just seeing the other ships out there has been really, really special.

The three cheese baked ziti is so good. I'm so glad I I'm so glad I tried it because I wouldn't have known how it tastes, but yeah, I'll definitely be getting this.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Staying onboard during a port stop can be a relaxing alternative to rushing off the ship, especially if you want to enjoy fewer crowds and a calm atmosphere.

Most people rush off the ship when arriving in Victoria, BC… but on this Alaska cruise, I decided staying onboard Norwegian Encore was actually the better choice 🚒 In this vlog, I show why spending a quiet evening on the ship during the Victoria port stop can be surprisingly relaxing and completely worth it. With fewer crowds onboard, peaceful outdoor spaces, and a calm atmosphere throughout the ship, it ended up being one of the most enjoyable nights of the cruise. After a busy Alaska itinerary filled with ports, Glacier Bay, and nonstop scenery, slowing down and simply enjoying the ship itself felt like the perfect way to wrap up the journey. Join me onboard Norwegian Encore as we experience what it’s really like staying onboard while docked in Victoria, British Columbia. Would you explore Victoria, or stay onboard and enjoy the quiet ship experience? #NorwegianEncore #VictoriaBC #AlaskaCruise #CruiseVlog #NorwegianCruiseLine #StayOnboard #CruiseLife #ShipLife #TravelVlog #CruisingWithJT This video is sponsored by MEI-Travel.
