customers say
The Norwegian Encore receives high praise for its modern amenities, excellent service, and diverse entertainment options. Most guests enjoyed the food, the ship's cleanliness, and the variety of activities available. However, some noted issues with crowding, especially around the pool and public areas, and a few found the specialty dining and entertainment lacking compared to expectations. Excursion timing and port durations were also a concern for some. Overall, the ship is considered a great choice for families and those seeking a lively cruise experience, though it may feel busy during peak times.
