Creator's Key Takeaways

I literally had the Norwegian Encore all by myself. I kid you not. So, we got to Juno around 2:00 p.m.

One of the benefits of being a Norwegian loyalty member is much as you work your up the ranks, you get freebies, right?

The Manhattan Room is amazing. I love this I love this restaurant more than Taste and Savor for dinner especially.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Stay onboard during port days to enjoy empty pools, water slides, and hot tubs without lines.

YouTube Video Description

What’s it actually like staying onboard during a port day in Alaska? 🚢 In this vlog, I show you the experience of being on the ship while everyone else heads out to explore Juneau, Alaska—and why it turned into one of the most peaceful and underrated parts of the entire cruise. Instead of going ashore, I stayed onboard the Norwegian Encore to see what the atmosphere is like when most passengers are off on excursions. From quiet decks and open spaces to relaxed dining and unique ship views, it’s a completely different side of cruising you don’t always get to see. Even without exploring Juneau, this day gave a new appreciation for just how enjoyable a “stay onboard” port day can be. Let me know in the comments—do you usually get off the ship or enjoy staying onboard during port stops? #NorwegianEncore #JuneauAlaska #AlaskaCruise #CruiseVlog #NorwegianCruiseLine #StayOnboard #CruiseLife #ShipLife #TravelVlog #CruisingWithJT This video is sponsored by MEI-Travel.
