Piano Bar Equivalent on Encore - Similar to Howl at the Moon

[wake74]

Planning our first cruise since COVID (previously done RCCL, NCL, Disney, etc) for school spring break next year.  One of the highlights of our last NCL cruise was the family gathering at Howl at the Moon for sing-alongs.  There were also enough well behaved teens there especially early in the show where our son could come, not feel out of place, and have a good time.

 

I noticed that Encore doesn't have a Howl at the Moon.  Do any of the other bars do an equivalent piano bar / sing along arrangement such as at Cavern Club?  We are a wee bit young to really be huge Beetles fans, but wasn't sure what they did in that venue when we the Beetles cover band wasn't playing.

Thanks!

I’ve been looking at the recently posted freestyle dailies from Encore, and there doesn’t seem to n anything like Howl at the Moon. It was one of my favorites, too.

The District Brew House has piano music at night. Not quite the same as Howl at the Moon, but worth a look-see. And the Observation Lounge has music at night. What that is would be totally dependent upon who they have booked for your cruise. But again, worth a look. We like the observation lounge because there is a private bar with no lines along with coffee and tea from the buffet.

We were on the Encore in October.  They had a fantastic piano player (Alexa) in the Observation lounge bar every night.  Generally 7 - 8 and 8 - 10 IIRC.  It was absolutely the best Piano Bar type experience we've ever had on a cruise ship.  She took requests and many of us were very happy with them.
