I would love to see some of the Eastern Caribbean ports include. Or even Grand Turk, Dominican etc. I do have to say Carnival does visit some great ports including Aruba, Antigua,Curacao etc.

Are you aware that the next generation of NCL ships after this last BA/BA+ class ship will be based on the same design as the Seaside? Project Leonardo ships will be built out of Fincantieri.

 

Project Leonardo (NOT ENCORE)...

 

 

Does everything that falls from the balconies land on the promenade deck?:o

[Cruising...our happy place]

Yes, bookings start in March. Can’t wait

Lol I figured that's where you meant, I just had to give you a hard time. Isn't Charleston a small port? I could see a jewel class ship going there though, I would be all for that!

Me too, having a port only 4 hrs away means no airfare, more to spend on the cruise!!!!

Ah I really hope they do a few nights out of Hamburg and/or Southampton so is here in Europe get the chance to try out a new ship!

Absolutely loved the 3 days on the Escape!

Unlike the Bliss

Unlike the Bliss

 

 

 

Yep! I was so hoping that the Bliss would have some short trips before going over to the States for some fee paying passengers but not to be. Got to say that was disappointing for us in the UK/Europe.

It just likely wasn't an option this time around due to the time of when they take possession of the ship and when the Alaska season starts up. They have the first Alaska cruise scheduled for June 2nd which is already a month late for the Alaska season. If they could have taken possession of the ship a month or two earlier, then they likely could have gotten a couple of those 2 and 3 night preview cruises in Europe before the TA closing and Panama Canal transit. That being said, the TA & PC is essentially a month long voyage at 12 days and 15 days and that is just to LA. They still have the trip from LA to Seattle after that.

I tell you what I'm truly curious about though... Bliss has no scheduled cruise from May 25th to June 2nd. They arrive in LA from the Panama Canal crossing on the 25th but then do not depart Seattle until June 2nd. What is the ship doing for the 8 days in between?

Industry cruises?

 

[WanderlustJourney]

Yes, industry cruises, I'll be on the May 30th one out of Seattle :)

By "Industry Cruise", do you mean a buyout? Or is it something for NCL peeps to check out the ship?

People in the travel industry: travel magazine writers, travel agents, possible like Travel Channel film crews, local news media and people from the Miami Corporate Office and other invited guests.

They already have the Encore on the TA portal, but no dates yet. Still, it was nice to see it there!

Cruiselines love to drag things out, my guess in March there will be no additional information other than the ability to book the ship, but I could easily be wrong

[FreestyleNovice]

Deck plans (plain ones..) probably are up when bookings open I think.

"Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings and Meyer Werft executives gathered at the Meyer Werft Laser Centre in Papenburg, Germany and cut the first plate of steel, marking the ceremonial start of construction of Norwegian Encore, which is due for delivery on October 31 2019."

Is NOV 17 the first non-industry Cruise other than the TA?

That's what I'm thinking. I was excited thinking that was Thanksgiving week, but it's actually the week before. Thanksgiving week will be the 2nd regular cruise, and I plan to be on that one. I had hoped to do the TA, but it's just going to be too long for me to be away from work/kid.
