Casual bars abound on Encore, and some really lean into a theme. Dark wood, green leather armchairs, velvet bar stools, and an attached cigar room is exactly what you’d expect for Maltings Whiskey Bar. Sugarcane Mojito Bar has DJs and bands playing bolero, cha cha, cumbia, and Latin soul. The Cellars Wine Bar is a partnership with Napa’s Michael Mondavi Family Estate wines. As expected, the menu is extensive and there are blind tastings, wine and cheese nights, and other events that would please oenophiles.

Overall, Norwegian Encore is a sophisticated ship, there's tons of things to do, and you'll be wowed by the quality -- and quantity -- of the dining and entertainment. Yet because of this, a vacation here can cost more than on other "small-town" ships, and even if you do pony up for the fun, you simply won't have enough time to do everything. Make sure you budget accordingly, and be prepared to book another cruise to experience everything you missed. No matter which thrill you seek, there’s always something to get your heart pumping.
Handicap/wheelchair-accessible cabins
Separate salon and barber shop facilities are also available for haircuts, shaves, manicures, pedicures and other extra-cost services. For those who are looking to work up a sweat while they're outside, there's a jogging track on Deck 17. For inside fitness options, visit the Pulse Fitness Center on Deck 16 aft. It's equipped with free weights, kettlebells, medicine balls, foam rollers, weight machines and cardio machines (ellipticals, rowers, treadmills, etc.). Instructors offers classes like TRX, spin and high-intensity interval training for a fee. If you're in search of a drink, the best variety is on Deck 8, where passengers will find dedicated wine, whiskey and mojito bars in proximity to several alternative eateries and lounges that are worth discovering.

It's also located just above the stage and screen area in the main atrium, so it draws crowds wanting to sit and watch what's happening below. Taste, Savor and The Manhattan Room are Norwegian Encore's three main dining rooms. The first two — located directly across from one another on Deck 6 — are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. The hangers were the wooden kind that don't have hooks at the top — the ones with metal rods that lock into permanent mounting hardware so people can't steal them. I find that they always make hanging anything more cumbersome.

The programming is divided into Guppies (6 months to 3 years), Turtles (3-5), Seals (6-9), Dolphins (10-12) and Entourage (13-17). Guppies’ River Rose Reading Room is a space where parents can read or play with their babies/toddlers. Older children have drop-off programs and creative activities. Teens are spoiled with both a video arcade and the Entourage Teen Club, a cool hangout den for daily hosted dance parties, theme nights, movies, and gaming. Watch chefs skillfully prepare yaki udon, fried rice, and teriyaki on the flattop grill at Teppanyaki. Enjoy contemporary Mexican at Los Lobos or sample different Asian bites such as sushi rolls, pork belly bao buns, and pad Thai at Food Republic.
Deck Twelve
Perfect for families or groups, these staterooms offer adjoining stateroom options and include two lower beds that convert to a queen-size bed and additional bedding for up to 2 guests. One of the defining features of Breakaway-class ships is what Norwegian calls The Waterfront. Put simply this is a wraparound promenade that encircles about 3/4 of Deck 8.
Reading lamps on either side of the bed each had one USB port. Panama Canal repositioning sailings begin at $43 per person, per night, for an inside cabin on a 21-night voyage from Seattle to Miami in the fall of 2023. For the vessel's 2024 Alaska season, prices at the time of publication start from $111 per person, per night for a similar weekly itinerary. For a fun outdoor experience, try a game of laser tag, or pretend to unleash your inner speed demon on the Encore Speedway. (I say "pretend to unleash" because the go-karts' maximum speed isn't very fast. It's still fun to say you tried it, though.) Both of these cost extra, and you have to sign up in advance. For the kids, check out the pay-to-play video arcade, just off of The Local.
Having a casino on a cruise ship isn’t a big deal; every ship under the sun has one. What’s different about Norwegian Encore’s (and the rest of the Breakaway-Plus ships) is how it’s styled. Many cruise casinos are small and seem to be dimly lit, along with low ceilings and lots of machines and tables jammed in. On the Breakaway vessels, however, casinos have moved to being open and airy and even have designated smoking areas so that not everyone has to breathe secondhand smoke. Passengers are only allowed to smoke — including cigarettes, e-cigarettes and cigars — in designated areas on Norwegian Encore. Those areas include the casino, Humidor Cigar Lounge (cigars only) and a portion of the pool deck on Deck 16, starboard.

It has hopped onto trends like craft beer; the District Brew House has around 20 draft beers on tap and 50 different bottled. If you are looking to get to know your servers over the course of a 7-day cruise, and expect them to remember your preferences let alone your name, this is not the ship. The ship is a floating resort, mall, water park, and amusement park rolled into one where adults can become big kids. Children can splash around Aqua Park while teens zip through the Ocean Loops waterslide that hangs 11 feet off the side of the ship, a teeth-chattering 159 feet above the sea. Dad gets a pro-collagen shave at the barber shop while mom burns off steam on the go-kart track.
The ship's seven-night Eastern Caribbean offerings round-trip from Miami will set you back $96 per person, per night, in the beginning of 2024. For example, singalongs and gameshows like "Deal or No Deal" were held in the atrium. Although it's a central location, the space felt too small to accommodate everyone who wanted to join in or watch.
The menu includes brisket, chicken, ribs and sausages smoked over oak, pecan and hickory woods. A modern Mexican restaurant is named Los Lobos (2016-debuted on Norwegian Dawn). Adjacent to Los Lobos is The A-List Bar, serving handcrafted cocktails, premium spirits and wines. These Penthouses are located in The Haven and include a king-size bed and single sofabed, plus a private balcony with a fantastic view. An automatic onboard service charge is added per person, per day, based on the stateroom.
When items are sent out by 9 a.m., they are guaranteed back by 6 p.m. Same-day service is available for an additional 50% of the total cost. You can bring your own bottles of wine on Norwegian Encore, but you'll be charged a per-bottle fee of $15 to do so, regardless of where you plan to consume them. If needed, sign language interpreters are available at no additional charge when requested at least 90 days in advance. Comedy shows are offered several times throughout each voyage. At least one performance will be in the main theater, while the rest are held in The Social Comedy & Night Club on Deck 7.
The menus change daily and do not repeat for the entire cruise. It’s worth noting that Norwegian has replaced Taste, Savor, and the Manhattan Room on its latest Prima Class ships in favor of two new venues Hudson’s and The Commodore Room. They have a fixed menu of wider offerings, a saner situation for the kitchen and service team. Rounding out the complimentary dining are The Local Bar & Grill, an informal, no thrills 24-hour pub; and 24-hour room service (a delivery fee applies). However, there is a bounty of choice and flexibility when it comes to food and beverage. Norwegian has done away with traditional seating completely and only offers free-style dining, though reservations for the full-service restaurants are a must as they can fill up even when the ship isn’t full.
At night the back of deck 18 transforms into open-air laser tag; take cover behind gigantic serpent sculptures (no age or height restrictions). Before kids get too excited at the sight of the giant water slides, there are restrictions. You need to be a minimum 48” for Aqua Racer, a minimum 48” and over 130 lbs for Ocean Loops. The programming is stacked with social activities and live music appealing to the wide passenger demographic. Hosted social events include bridge play, solo travelers and LGBTQIA+ meet and greet, as well as unhosted gatherings for knitters and stitchers, first responders, veterans, and Friends of Bill W.
