Have a wonderful cruise!

Will be following along.......we are sailing on the Encore February 2024 and June 2025.

Wonderful news for you! I also check two times a day. Do you remember how many days out they showed up on the excursion listing?

Were you able to reserve one?

Hmm....interesting to see what happens. We have an extended family group booked for June 2024 which has been booked for over a year. Currently, it is saving us a decent of money, but it was a struggle getting it set up. Now, I am in the process of setting up another one with my husband's extended family for June 2025 so I will see more about it this week. @BoundForSea, thank for the heads-up about possible changes. @cruiseny4lifewhat is a BDM? Are you also a TA in addiction to your HR job?

Thank you for pointing this out. Our Plan A is to go with a lagoon cabana, but these are our Plan B.

Happy Cruise Day!

Have a wonderful time and love you are bringing your grandson again.

Will be following along and have a wonderful time!

Strange as we are able to reserve one now for our February 2024 cruise.

We received OBC during our Epic cruise two weeks back in the amounts of $9.37 and $1.49 each. Totaled $43.44.

Did your confirmation have the code for triple points?

We got back recently from our day visit to the Marriott. Even though we booked many months ago at $39 a person, when we checked in they automatically charged us $49. I was very quick to pull out my e-mails and confirmations and they adjusted our price back to $39. Cabs were very easy to get to and from the port to the hotel. We were charged $5 a person each way which I thought was a very good price. Unfortunately, the beach was a huge disappointment as there was a seaweed issue. We did still sit on the beach in the morning and then moved over to the pool after lunch. We heard the hotel was offering their guest free shuttles to another beach to make up for it. We thought the prices for food and drinks were reasonable and did enjoy our lunch. The massages offered on the beach were incredible at $45 for about 40 minutes. Six in our group had them and said they were better than the ones they had during the week on the ship. We also pre-booked a day room which we were glad we did as it was nice to have the bathroom and shower available to us. So, even though the actual beach was a disappointment, we did enjoy our day at the Marriott.

Yes, the shore excursion discounts does work on-line.

How did it go?

Thank you for taking the time to post your thoughts and experience on your Encore cruise.

I know. Unfortunately, NCL took away a majority (the main ones) of the amenities of the non-Haven suites in late fall of 2021. There are a few threads on it.

No. Only a few perks remain with this classification and comped room service is not one of them.

Agree---it can be either way. We are two for two starboard while staying in a port side cabin.

I see you were able to snag a cabana!

I also inquired about Viva Vibe passes last month and the feedback I received was that no one was able to purchase them yet.

Our observations also.

Very sorry to hear it.

We also tip the skycap $10 in total.

Not per bag.
