Thanks for the live blog! I will be boarding the ship a couple hours after you disembark on Sunday! Would love to get your recommendations on your favorite bartender, as well as where they’re from (so I can learn a couple key phrases ahead of time).

I just saw this pop in to the app. Kind of excited!

Hello, quick question for anyone who’s been on the Encore recently. What nationality trends did you notice amongst the crew on board? Specifically the bartenders or cruise director staff. I am about a month out from my first NCL cruise and I like to be able to speak a bit to the crew in their native language, so this would be very helpful information for me to take the right lessons over the next few weeks. I’ve noticed on other lines/cruises that certain ships tend to have a particular nationality be overrepresented, especially amongst a subset of workers (like when almost the entire dining room staff was from India, for example). If there are no trends, who was your favorite bartender on board, and where are they from? Thanks in advance!
