That is my favorite secret spot on the Bliss. I hate they took it away on Encore to expand Vibe. We haven't paid for Vibe because we have always traveled with friends but found that small bar outside to have fantastic service. We like the liveliness of the pool deck when not overrun with kids.

We are cruising this Sunday on the Encore. I love NCL and hope to say that when i return. I hesitantly check my email every day for an itinerary change notice because I want to know. Yes, the terms and conditions, BLAH BLAH BLAH! We know they can do whatever they want due to the T&C. It doesn't change that NCL has changed and NCL IS canceling shows, ports, changing drink packages, etc. AND All at our expense after we have paid for cruises that were sold to us with different shows, ports, drink packages, etc. I will fill out a comment card while onboard (if I remember). It is blatantly obvious that it is not weather. I have tried asking questions on here about a couple of changes since we were last on the Encore and you pretty much just get rude responses and ZERO help from the keyboard jockeys. We didn't book any excursions in DR or GSC because it is constantly changing. It is frustrating. I know I will have a great time no matter what is on board and no matter where we go. I was excited about the DR and now question if we will even be there and check the port calendar daily. It has changed but we are still on it so my fingers are crossed. Just know you aren't alone in your frustration. NCL's marketing has change to focus on gaining new cruisers and away from retaining their customers and it shows.

STILL not answers to my questions regarding the ship. I will move on. thanks

Is Deck 19 all Vibe and haven now?

Are you onboard now? Or are you answering from the 12/4 dailies? Just trying to figure out if they will have music in observation lounge. I am almost packed. LOL is deck 19 all Vibe now or is there still a public bar just pas the stairs?

Same. We were on the Bliss. I drank so much Veuve, they had it ready when they saw me coming. We are upgrading again on the Encore in 12 days. It is worth it to us since I think I need Veuve every time I sit down. 🙂

I hope we get diverted to Nassau. I can have a beach day anywhere. We love Nassau.

NCL historically has very few ships in the Caribbean during summer months.

Yes, the bars are open and you can get mimosas at breakfast in the dining rooms. I don't know about the buffet because we don't eat there very much.

I was just looking for which days they designate as Dress up or Not in the daily as they have several camera stations on those days. As a seasoned NCL Cruiser, I understand there is no dress code. Right now the daily only shows it on day 3 but my past cruises have had two. Thanks for the very detailed explanation.

I know. But there are usually two with Dress UP or NOT in the dailies.

Only one dress up or not night and no entertainment in the Observation lounge?

Can you post updated dailies? Just curious as to how many dress up or not days there will be.

The Encore is scheduled to dock that day at 7:00 AM so it looks like the Encore itinerary will be ok unless they decide to move it to another port. I haven't seen any Encore deviations for DR unless I just missed them on here.

It will be hard to get an A or B but with an A or B, we usually get to sit together. If you get a C, you are SOL with middle seats only usually.
