Cruiser_1977 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #51 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) @brightfeather & @CarelessAndConfused What I meant by "I missed" was that I must have left it in the cabin. It did not make it home with me. Just went back through all of my pictures on google drive. I somehow managed to get pics of the Day 1 Patter...

Cruiser_1977 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #52 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @maggieq nope I have never been on the NCL Encore. @Thrak & @jennybenny I meant 7 days was a little long for me alone. If I had been with friend(s), family or a SO it would have been fantastic! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping this will give me some kind of idea of what to expect on our first sea day and what to recommend to our group. I really appreciate that you took the time to do this. Thanks again! 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warthog2608 Posted January 20, 2020 #54 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks for posting this, I can relive our cruise! We got off the Royal Jan 4, the day you boarded. In fact I was the last passenger off. We were talking in the Vista Lounge and the head of housekeeping came and escorted us off. As I scanned my medallion for the last time security called out “Last passenger!” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never done a full week on vacation without friends or family, but I've done 3-4 day weekends on my own a few times at a resort and had fun. You've now made me think about trying a 7 day cruise sometime. 🙂 although, you did say it was a bit much. 😉 Thanks for the great review!

Cruiser_1977 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #56 Share Posted January 20, 2020 @jennybenny I have done shorter solo cruises in the past (see reviews in signature if you'd like). I think 3-5 nights alone is ideal for me. I have a trip planned on Celebrity (yes I'm cruise line hopping LOL) in Jan 2021 and hoping my new guy will 1) still be around and 2) able to go with me! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkle Posted January 20, 2020 #57 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Thanks for the great review JennyB! We will be sailing on the Royal in Feb. I am very happy to see that Nick Nash is the Captain, and hope he will still be, next month as well. He married us in Feb 2009 aboard the Golden Princess. I am also happy to see they have Meiomi Pinot Noir, my favorite. I guess we will put the beverage package from TA to good use! I am happy to hear pax still dress for formal night. Although DH can't fit his tux anymore (it must have shrunk at the cleaners😉), he likes to bring a suit or two. It's really our only chance to dress up all year. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MsSoCalCruiser Posted January 20, 2020 #58 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Jenny, Thank you for the great review! I may have missed it; what type of dining did you have? Did you ask for a table alone or with others? I’m getting ready for my next solo cruise and wondering what I want to do this time. Any and all suggestions are welcome, LOL. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vexorg Posted January 20, 2020 #59 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Nick Nash is one of my favorites that I've sailed with, even if some of the cruises I've been on have been less than perfect (one cruise had the last couple of days spent in red alert conditions for Noro, another was a 1-night cruise that had a number of issues).

Cruiser_1977 Posted January 20, 2020 Author #60 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) @MsSoCalCruiser I had asked and it was in my planner for late traditional. However, upon boarding the card in my cabin said AnyTime. I went down to speak to the Maitre D'. He assigned me 7:15pm at table 269. I also mentioned (with a good attitude and partially in gest) that if my table mates were unpleasant I would simply request a table for one. He had a solution and they rotated my dinner partners each night!! I loved it. I made sure on the evenings I didn't go to the MDR that I called and let them know several hours in advance.

Rare trbarton Posted January 26, 2020 #64 Share Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I have a recommendation for boarding the ship. I always go to the main dinning room, the staff will direct you to the buffet, for a sit down relaxing meal & a chance to meet other people. It’s open from 12-1-30 pm.

Cruiser_1977 Posted February 11, 2020 Author #66 Share Posted February 11, 2020 @trbarton My apologies on such a late response. We had said we'd meet at Outriggers after muster. There were only three of us that showed ourselves... 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like Google Map for the ship. If you don't mind toting your phone around. Which “Take me There” app do you have? My search reveals several ones.

FolsomFamilyCruisers Posted February 17, 2020 #69 Share Posted February 17, 2020 (edited) How was the Cruise Director? And did you watch any of the shows? If so, how were they? Thank you! Edited February 17, 2020 by FolsomFamilyCruisers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
