JC5240 Posted January 31, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Very exciting! The name is appropriate since it's the final ship for the Breakaway Plus class, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LrgPizza Posted January 31, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is awesome! I wonder if poor sales of Joy cruises have caused the change to send this to Miami when all prior reports have said (and still show) that she is going to China? Well, hopefully this isn't temporary. Great news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted January 31, 2018 Author #13 Share Posted January 31, 2018 (10 a.m. EST) -- Norwegian Cruise Line's next new ship will be called Norwegian Encore, cruise line president Andy Stuart revealed Wednesday at a steel-cutting at Meyer-Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany. With international media, Norwegian executives and hull artist Wyland in attendance, Norwegian cut steel for Norwegian Encore, which will homeport in Miami beginning in fall 2019. (A steel-cutting represents the official start of the cruise ship building process.) Norwegian Encore is the fourth ship in the cruise line's Breakaway Plus class, joining Norwegian Escape, Norwegian Joy (sailing in China) and Norwegian Bliss (debuting in May). Previously referred to as "708," Encore will carry 4,000 passengers. Other ships in the Breakaway Plus Class include a complex for solo passengers that offers cabins and a lounge for singles, waterslides and even go-kart tracks. The class also perfects the line's successful Waterfront, an alfresco dining and drinking spot that wraps around the ship, promenade style. --By Colleen McDaniel, Senior Executive Editor (https://www.cruisecritic.com/news/news.cfm?ID=8367) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisingSince1982 Posted January 31, 2018 #14 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Yay! I'm so excited!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Wheels Only Posted January 31, 2018 #15 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Awesome! Will be interesting to see how they set this version up. It looks similar to Bliss/Joy (forward observation lounges and Garden Cafe/aft Spa). Maybe a go-kart track that goes through part of the ship (Monaco GP style). :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare BirdTravels Posted January 31, 2018 #16 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Great news for those of us who have no desire to travel to and pay the expense of sailing out of China. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cap'n Ron Posted January 31, 2018 #20 Share Posted January 31, 2018 It looks similar to Bliss/Joy (forward observation lounges and Garden Cafe/aft Spa). Maybe a go-kart track that goes through part of the ship (Monaco GP style). :p I agree based on the silhouette of the cut-out, but I was hoping they might not go with the go-cart track on this ship, but I am so excited to hear it isn't going to China like Joy did. Good decision NCL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perditax Posted January 31, 2018 #21 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Hmm, I already see people accidentally typing "NCL Escape" with they mean "NCL Epic" and vice versa, adding another "E-c---" name seems like a bad idea. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare shof515 Posted January 31, 2018 #25 Share Posted January 31, 2018 another breakaway plus ship, very similar to the escape/joy/bliss and the other breakaway class ships. I wish Norwegian would of done something a bit different like a ship similar to the MSC Seaside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
