NCL Encore Historic Voyage First Pandemic Cruise to Alaska Aug 7 2021. The MEET AND GREET!

[PattyWinters503]

One of the wonderful things about cruise critic is the ability to meet people and greet them!  Over the decades I have run many meet and greets.  
This  was by far the most fun and energetic and upbeat meet and greet ever!   The crew and officers were sooooo excited to be back at sea.  We even made up some swag for them to show them our appreciation. We had a poster made and we all signed it for the crew!  We had a lovely gift exchange as well! 

 Great trip and great meet and greet!
NCL provided their BEST hors d’oeuvres , flights of beer snd cocktails and the DJ!  
Thank you Cruise Critic and NCL!!

Thanks for sharing. Deepak looks Great. He will be sorely missed for the Escape trips.

Silas is the best isn't he. ! 

Now  I need to get on the Encore to see both of them.

I love Silas but I also love Alvin and Jacky!   
Deepak is the best but so is kivanc and Zdravko and Roland.   I think we are all in good hands!

What a great event you planned and the officers certainly did go all out, aided by a very enthusiastic group of servers and bar staff.  Actually looks like a wonderful party!

 

Lots of familiar faces - thanks for putting up the photos and videos!

 

Congrats to your daughter on her accomplishment!

 

What's up next on the cruising agenda?!

@minnievanmommie HI there! Looks like your meet and mingle was fantastic! I am organizing one for the first post-shutdown sailing of the Bliss (Mexican Riviera, 10/24-31). I was wondering if you had any issues getting into touch with the ship events coordinator since crewing the ship was underway while planning? Any tips to share?

Curious, did your group do a Slot Pull? If yes, how did you make out? Make any money?

No trouble.  Just went the regular route and all was set up just nicely.

We did do a slot pull it was a 30 dollar but in.  Sadly we walked away with only 13 bucks each but we had such a good time.  
I gave away some little prizes. The casino gave us some bottles of wine to give out also.  It was a blast!

Btw.  I love the bliss.  Zdravko is the GM at the moment and he is awesome in keeping a ship tightly run!
