TheDougOut Posted August 15, 2019 Author #1953 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Before & after... If they fix the aft, it’ll drive me nuts that it’s off-center by 3” 🤣 Edited August 15, 2019 by TheDougOut 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable that it happened, and that they fixed it. That is an understatement. Never saw anything close to this on a new ship build. Maybe they will make the race track more with the promo design since you pointed that out. Edited August 15, 2019 by david_sobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm seriously considering canceling my Panama Canal cruise in a studio cabin since there is so little public deck space. I'll wait and see the reviews first though. I ended up canceling my cruise in May to Bermuda after studying the deck plans. I'm going to wait and see how the reviews go. I'm not happy with not having enough deck space. It was crowded on Epic cruise I took in March. I think that maybe Encore designed way too much for the laser tag and racetrack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that maybe Encore designed way too much for the laser tag and racetrack. Only a very small part of a typically unused public sundeck was replaced with the Haven and Vibe. And the Spice space on the new -away class ships was pretty small. This space was removed so that features like the Observation Lounge (which provides 1/3 of Deck 15 as new public space) could be installed (moving the spa and fitness center to the aft).

Well guess what, it's about the same size of what's left of the public deck space (C). So yeah, I guess it is relatively small. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm essentially with the group complaining about lack of free public space but hold on a minute... Let's be honest, the upper, upper most area in your "A" was not public deck space on Bliss or Joy... It's the Laser Tag area (Deck 20). The space that was lost was only on Deck 19 (the bottommost part of your "A" where the hot tub is located). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My heart and brain are still wasting away on the Escape. Is it fair to say that the “relatively small” space taken away is half the space of what’s left? Give or take 3 hot tubs and a water feature (edit: and two bars, and aft views, and an adults-only area).

TheDougOut Posted August 16, 2019 Author #1964 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Papenburg, 16 August 2019 – Due to the weather conditions, Norwegian Encore will be leaving the covered building dock II at MEYER WERFT shipyard six hours earlier. The manoeuvre is now scheduled to start at approx. 2:00 am on Saturday, 16 August. Once Norwegian Encore has left the dock, it will berth at the shipyard's out-fitting pier to be fitted with its funnel cladding. The ship will then remain in the shipyard port for further out-fitting work and on-board trials until its passage through the river Ems up to the North Sea, which is expected to take place end of September. All times are subject to the weather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been keeping up with the Encore for quite a while and have studied the deck plans many, many times. The sun deck has always been free. Am I correct to say that the Vibe deck requires a pass? And the raceway and the laser tag features are not complimentary either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreestyleNovice Posted August 16, 2019 #1972 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Meyer webcam is up, 2AM German local time is 8 hours from this post on. https://www.meyerwerft.de/de/meyerwerft_de/helper/stream.jsp It will be limited views, dark and slow.. Looking down from an angle on to the ship's top deck will reveal what's on deck 20.. will it reveal a complementary Spice H2O? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't feel so bad now that I canceled the cruise. Way too much going on in that space. Searching for another cruise. I've always cruised Norwegian but now I may have to be more flexible.

It's like being in the middle of a floating carnival. I don't take children with me because I want to relax. The features on this ship will attract families with lots and lots of children. Not very relaxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
