The Birds will hop onboard the Encore in Miami on Easter Sunday and call in the Dominical Republic, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, and Great Stirrup Cay. This is the Encore’s last Eastern Caribbean cruise of the 2023-2024 season. Following this cruise, the Encore begins a 21-day repositioning cruise through the Panama Canal to Vancouver, British Columbia to begin her Alaskan season. The Encore returns to Miami in November 2023 on her way to a dry dock in Europe, then back to Miami to resume this itinerary through the winter 2024-2025. Our next cruise is on Encore, Jan 2025. Curious, what class of cabin did you book? Pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll stop commenting now and just wait till the end to count up the score. I sure hope it doesn't turn out to be no beef entrees on any night. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But could you please teach these people, especially Guest Services Manager Cruella and Captain Frankenstein to please show a smile? At least they who are obfuscating (Cruise Next, y'all) lead with a smile. Gosh - we're not in Europe, y'all! Show those pearly whites...or ivories...or ambers. Now, onward! Have a most wonderful cruise aboard Encore!! Sorry. When The Birds met with the Captain tonight, this is the best we could get. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 2 Author #65 Share Posted April 2 There was a question about indoor pools. The only indoor “pools” are the fresh water hydrotherapy “pool” in the Thermal Suite (hot, bubbling goodness) and the fresh water pool in the Haven which has a retractable roof.

Thanks for humoring me, Birds!! I've mentioned to NCL staff the lack of pleasantness in the formal photos of the senior leadership. They've just smirked a little and left it alone. 🙂 I guess next time I have a non-smiley senior leadership team members I'll just have to make conversation at the captain's cocktail party and ask what gives.

Rare BirdTravels Posted April 2 Author #74 Share Posted April 2 (edited) What’s the latest game show at sea? Wheel of Fortune. Like Deal or No Deal, you have to buy a play-along game card to be in the running to be a contestant. Play-along cards are automatically scored based on the wheel spins and letters selected by the contestants. Audience members also score by correctly solving the puzzle before the on stage contestants. Edited April 2 by BirdTravels 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
