It would be great if you could post the latest dailies! Thank your sharing your experience! I will be on the Encore in december myself.

Are the Christmas decorations up yet? Anything else that is new?

No Christmas decorations yet. I think they wait until the Thanksgiving sailing or the week after.

Lots of new people on board and lots leaving for vacation.  We did go to Amber Cove instead of Puerto Plata. Itinerary was: Great Stirrup Cay, St. Thomas, Tortola and Amber Cove. Will try to figure out how to post the dailies. Lots of information.

I'd love the dailies also and to know about the music onboard. 

At what point were you told about the change to Amber Cove?

When we got to our cabin on embarkation day (Nov. 13), there was a letter.

I'll be on the Encore in January.  I hope Paquito is still the CD, he is really good.  I've been on two other cruises where he was the CD.

We're on her in January as well and I agree Paquito is great.  He was the CD on our last cruise.  Jen.
