thx sooo much for these wonderful informative videos! We r taking this exact cruise next May. What was the date u cruised? How did u enjoy the Encore? thx
Thanks for watching! We sailed from August 27th-Sept. 3rd. We LOVED the Encore (except the chandelier) I am sure you will have an amazing time! There are so many things to see and do. And, Glacier Bay was such an amazing experience.
Great video. We did the Bliss and stayed at the same hotel. What cabin number were your in ( I might of missed it in your video)? Were thinking of doing Encore next time. Hope we see the rest of the ports you stopped at.
Thanks! We showcased our cabin 12290. We were also in 12288 next door. They were great rooms! Quiet area and very close to the aft elevators and stairs. Thanks for subscribing too 😁 each port will have it’s own video in upcoming weeks.
Glad it was helpful! There was definitely one in each of our rooms. They were so helpful and retractable so they’re out of the way when not in use. There were also 2 hooks on the back of the bathroom door. These were great for damp things too. Of course, magnetic hooks were our best hack for hanging things up. The ceiling is metal too. Thanks for watching!
Hi core Four, When did you sail to Alaska, we are embarking onto the Norwegian Bliss on June 1 and I was trying to figure when you sailed so I can pack accordingly Thanks
what was your boarding time and how long did it take from drop of the bags to actual check in / boarding? Trying to figure out how early I need to be dropped off in order to get from bag area to check in desk in order to make the boarding time.
Great question! We looked back at our footage. There was no line to drop off bags when we got there. We dropped our bags off at 10:11 AM. The early bird drop is very close to the door for the port. We barely waited in line for check-in too. We were through security and check in by 10:38 AM We sat in the port for a little while waiting to be called to get on the ship. They give you a number and call you by that. We got on the ship at 11:24 AM. The regular baggage check is less than a half a block from the entrance as well. A slightly longer walk if you have a later boarding time. We recommend checking in as soon as online check in as available so that you can get the first spot available to get on the ship because it really went smooth to be early. Online check-in opens 21 days ahead of sailing. Enjoy your cruise! You’ll have to let us know what you thought of the port when you get back.
Hi. I have been enjoying your videos. What time of year did you guys do this cruise? We are doing this same cruise September ‘24, which seems so far away. It’s been great passing the time watching your videos.
Thanks!! We went the week before Labor Day. We also had ours booked for a really long time. It was completely worth the wait!! We have many more videos coming from this adventure. Subscribe, if you haven’t already, so you don’t miss a thing. Glad you’re enjoying our content.
And also highly recommend the Seattle CITYPass. We got to do everything from that one ticket (Space Needle x2, Aquarium, Chihuly Gardens and Glass, MoPOP, and the Harbor Cruise). The only things not included were the Ferris wheel and the Flying Over Washington Ride. The Ferris Wheel was very much worth it. We loved it!
A few of the entertainers. We were able to book our Choir of Man ahead of time. But, not the Comedians. Also, they only open up so many reservations pre-boarding so, if you miss out on a show or specialty dining experience before boarding you can usually still get it once you get onboard.
That's a great area on the ship! It's close to the aft elevators which always seem a little quieter and easier to get. We were in room 12290 with the bed closest to the balcony. That's my favorite configuration personally. It's fantastic to just open the curtains and enjoy a slow morning with breakfast in bed.
It’s Embarkation Day!! I have strong opinions about the ship’s chandelier. What are your thoughts? 👍🏻 or 👎🏻
The chandelier is gross. I have seen better on all of the other NCL ships.
It’s a definite miss. But the cruise was a blast!
Wow that Seattle skyline at minute 5:19 dosnt even look real!!! Stunning 🤩
Right?! It was very cool. Seattle was a great city. It’s well worth arriving a day or two early for your cruise to check it out. 😁

what hotel did yall stay at
Thank you for the detailed room tour. I’ve been trying to find out if there is a clothesline in the bathroom. We’ll be onboard this June.

Sorry new to NCL....what do you have to book once you get on the ship that you are not able to book prior to boarding?
A few of the entertainers. We were able to book our Choir of Man ahead of time. But, not the Comedians. Also, they only open up so many reservations pre-boarding so, if you miss out on a show or specialty dining experience before boarding you can usually still get it once you get onboard.
I also think my cabin is 2 away from the one u showed in the video. Can u tell me which cabin had the bed near balcony configuration? thx
That's a great area on the ship! It's close to the aft elevators which always seem a little quieter and easier to get. We were in room 12290 with the bed closest to the balcony.

@@corefouradventures2861 we r in 12292 next store which I am excited t c this angled balcony!
Oh that’s awesome! You’ll have to let us know when you get back how you liked the angled balcony.
@@corefouradventures2861 it is facing the aft of the ship! Will do
View from our balcony? But what balcony? Where did you stay? Thanks!
Hi there! We stayed at the Seattle Marriott Waterfront. It’s right across the street from the NCL port. Super convenient!
what hotel did yall stay at
Seattle Marriott Waterfront. If you’re cruising on NCL it could not be closer to port. 😁🚢
Don’t like that chandelier either!😢
It’s just weird!! 🙌🏻 Thanks for watching ❤️
