    Thanks for the update along with the videos. I'm going to miss Los Lobos and the gelato place that was on deck 5 as both of those were favorites. But, even with the changes I think the Encore is still one of my favorite ships and we will be doing the repositioning cruise in October 2025 (again).

    I repeatedly ask myself why, if embarkation time officially starts at noon across almost every sailing, why the check in time slots start at 10/10:30. I was so surprised on disembarking both of my cruises last year, how many folks were rushing the terminal to get in as my sailing folks were still trying to get off and out of the drop off area.

    • @4x2-travel
      @4x2-travel 11 дней назад

      Good question. We have actually seen time slots starting at 9:30. Seems like many people do not understand that it is not the boarding time.

    I was in an aft-facing balcony as well (floor 15) before the dry dock sailing, unfortunately, we experienced noise during the renovations at all hours. So sad they are getting rid of that portion of the observation lounge, I was on the Encore twice this year, that area was the main reason, I rebooked. I wish I had known about the changes before booking, I may have changed my mind and opted to book a different ship/sailing.

    I'll be on the leg back to Miami! Solo traveler, booked a Solo Balcony (barely extra ££!) they moved me to Deck 13 BA category but with Solo privileges. Was interested in the upgrade bid to a Haven large cabin, but not happy to pay the £6-700 per person twice ...... They target Solo Travelers, but the upgrades still are for 2 people per cabin. Bizarre!

    • @4x2-travel
      @4x2-travel Месяц назад

      We are on the same return trip and already had a balcony cabin. Our options to bid were Haven and the minimum was too much. Glad you got the upgrade and see you on board.

    In this video we talk about the luggage tags. Sometimes they mail them but usually you print your own from a link during online check-in. Then we talk about, how to attach them while traveling. Just came across this tag holders that are specifically designed for the NCL self printed tags. Reusable, waterproof and does not require tape or stapler on the road. www.amazon.com/dp/B07XKWFMR7/ref=sspa_dk_hqp_detail_aax_0?sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9ocXBfc2hhcmVk&th=1

    In this vid, we talk about things to discuss with your cabin steward once onboard. On FB, someone mentioned that they arranged getting the coffee maker, mattress pad and bed configuration pre-cruise. They did this by talking with their NCL PCC (Personal Cruise Consultant). Not sure if it can be done when booking through others.
