I have been on the Jade and Encore. Jade was smaller and we did enjoy it. But the Encore just had a lot to do for those sea days! We like adventure. But honestly, if it has the District Brew house, I am in. I dont like "lite" beers, and in the other bars they had Sam adams in a bottle, so I would go to the District and get me an awesome local beer on tap or one of the many bottles and cans. I was happy! And the deck off that area was awesome to view from! We were in Alaska on the Encore, I got to sample 5 Alaskan Brewing beers (cant get those in Florida), I loved it! I also like how they supply up at a local port with some local beers, its great to support those breweries.
I am not sure if I can go with a ship that doesnt have the District Brew house, or id hope they would have better beers on tap/bottle if not..
