Things that you absolutely have to do when you take your first Norwegian Encore cruise.

Read a cabin review for the cabin you are picking. Ours shook so badly we had

trouble sleeping. And it wasn't because of ocean conditions.

If you have  not selected a cabin yet, make sure that it is on a deck with cabins above and below.  You DO NOT want a cabin above or below a public space.

Eat the Indian food in the buffet.

Kinky Boots.

Choir of Men.

Counterpoint:  My last two sailings on the Encore have been deck 15 balconies, directly below the pool deck. I only remember hearing one noise (a deck chair being slid).  Other than that?  No issues.

 

If I'm on a ship full of vacationing passengers, I expect to hear some noises from time to time.  😎

Totally a personal choice, but worth considering. My favorite cabins are on Deck 8 on the Escape (same layout as Encore) and never had a problem. I think it depends on your personal schedule. We are generally out of our room from 8:30 am-10:30 pm, other than sitting on our balcony during the day to read, etc. The theatre below hasn't bothered us, but I know it has for some people.

Agree completely. Our favorite cabin location is deck 9, just a quick hope from all the action on 8. I do check to see what is below us but other than a loud outdoor bar there's not much that would concern me.

In the afternoon, in the Observation lounge, small bites....best item is the Pastelitos. Especially the guava. So flaky and yummy!!

Enjoy that beautiful waterfront. It's a great place to chill throughout the day.

Agree. It doesn't matter what someone else did or enjoyed, go with the flow and do what makes you happy.
