As we gathered around the hot plate, Chef Ernino juggled with knives, told jokes and even had us all singing and clapping along. The food here was exquisite but most impressive was the show put on by our personal chef. I was lucky enough to dine in the Teppanyaki restaurant which usually has an extra charge. Of course, we couldn’t try them all during our two-night stay, but we did get to try the main dining room, the buffet, the Local Bar & Grill which serves pub food and one of the speciality restaurants. The ship has six complimentary restaurants, nine speciality restaurants and four more cafes and snack bars. Like all Norwegian Cruise Line ships, Norwegian Encore has a huge choice of restaurants. My bed was probably the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in! It had one soft and one firm pillow, which was a nice touch. Toiletries including shampoo, body wash, soap and body lotion were provided. The bathroom was pretty spacious with a real glass door on the shower rather than the dreaded plastic curtain. I was thrilled to find a coffee machine in the room and bottled water was also provided in sustainable plant-based packaging – well done Norwegian Cruise Line for these nice little touches. Our balcony stateroom was lovely, with a really large balcony. Norwegian Encore AccommodationĪfter a cocktail or two (which were delicious), we headed up to our staterooms to shower and change, ready for dinner. The décor is in neutral tones of blue, grey and brown and is wonderfully elegant. But, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the inside of this ship is far from garish. I expected a ship like Norwegian Encore to be a little brash and gaudy she has a bright multicoloured pattern splashed across her hull. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink while you watch the scenery. Wow, this area was stunning! Encompassing almost half of deck 15, this huge area has 180-degree ocean views through floor to ceiling windows. The Observation LoungeĪfter the muster drill, we headed up to the Observation Lounge for welcome cocktails. We were immediately wowed by the stylish décor and sea views from the huge window – just as much as we were by the new ship smell and the squashy new carpets. Once onboard, we were immediately called for the muster drill, which took place in the Manhattan Room, one of the main dining restaurants. However, Norwegian Encore is about so much more than this! The Manhattan Room After all, a cruise ship with the longest go-kart track and the biggest outdoor laser tag arena at sea certainly stands out from the others. We’d heard lots about this ship before we visited. Visiting a cruise ship is always exciting, but nothing compares to the buzz around the first sailing of a brand-new ship, especially when it’s one as impressive as Norwegian Encore!Įleven members of the Cruise118 team were lucky enough to board this sparkly new Norwegian Cruise Line ship for her two-night inaugural cruise from Bremerhaven, Germany to Southampton.
