Thanks for the review! We are on the Jade next month and it is good to see a current update.

We were on Encore over Christmas and New Year’s last December. There was caroling in the atrium though it didn’t roam around. Plenty of special menus in the MDRs on the holidays. Overall, we enjoyed it but will probably leave holiday cruises to the families. It was very crowded and could get out of control (football in the atrium lounge for example).

I’ve never seen as well. It is a big missed opportunity, imho.

I am also thankful for being privileged enough to take my upcoming cruise vacation with NCL. It will be our first real live vacation in 34 months that hasn’t been dedicated to a CT—>FL move, some medical stuff, or doing nothing much during pandemic. 12/23 can’t get here soon enough! 2023 will bring a move back home but for now a great vacation is needed!

The atrium is stunning!

Thanks, Bird, for another live review. I’m counting down the days until my Encore cruise on the 23rd! This will help me pass the time.

I’ll second the Escape and Bliss/Encore/Joy. Love the observation lounges on the later 3 and Escape is one of my favorite ships. On all the Waterfront can’t be beat.

When we sailed the Dawn, we missed a few things to be honest. Primarily we missed the Spinnaker lounge from the Jewel class ships and the waterfront from the larger ships. We did like the pool deck though; the tiered areas were pretty cool. Staff, service, and restaurants were great as always.

Mostly enjoy your cruise. New York is our favorite port to sail out of and can’t wait to get back!

We love the Courtyard at Broadway and 54th.

Ha! And be ready for it to auto-play the extended version the first time you turn your stateroom tv on! If you’re lucky like me, expect it to error and keep trying to play several times.

They come in .5 & 1 liter sizes. I’d think the small one would fit for sure. The large may depending how tall your mesh is.

Great review, Bird. Love reading your insights.

I’ll take a Woodford Manhattan, up please! If a District is on the ship, give me a Guillotine.
