Rare PistolPete13 Posted June 5, 2019 #1 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Hi everyone, First time cruiser here and I'd like to thank all the posters here with trip reviews and other information that made my experience more enjoyable. I'm not much of a writer but I do like to take a lot of photos. Here is a link to my snapshots of the trip in chronological order. I'm still working on filling in some of the descriptions but if you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to ask. If your curious about what some of the common areas of the ship look like, head towards the end of the album. The last sea day was stormy so I had some time to wander the ship and click away. https://flic.kr/s/aHsmDYU3rQ 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TPgal Posted June 5, 2019 #11 Share Posted June 5, 2019 Great photos, but I was waiting for the last day photo of the change in weight - if any. 😋 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started out as a lark to get photos of the welcome aboard lunch at O'Sheehans (thanks to those to said to go there instead of the mobbed buffet) and it just continued from there where I photographed every single thing I ate. And yes, I was a lightweight compared to most of the folks I saw eating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardface Posted June 6, 2019 #20 Share Posted June 6, 2019 @PistolPete13 these pictures and videos are excellent, thanks! My wife and I will be on the Encore on this same sailing a year from now, so this is giving us a really good idea on what to expect. Looks like we picked the perfect time of year.

Yes, I lucked out with the weather on this trip. The ocean water temps were about 75 - 78 degrees F I was told. A bit chilly dipping your toes in but once in, you're fine.

Rare PistolPete13 Posted June 7, 2019 Author #24 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Some video of the Shipwreck & Coral Snorkel excursion booked via NCL. The water clarity was incredible. The waters were a bit rough for the ride out and it got to a few of the passengers. Be aware of this if you're prone to motion sickness. The catamaran excursion the day before had much less motion in the boat. it was quite a challenge to put the gear on in the rocking boat but we managed. There is a disclaimer attached to the excursion ticket saying you should be a strong swimmer (which I'm not) for this trip. I believe this is due to the potential for rougher waters in the location where the two wrecks are. Just be ready for the waves to push you around a bit.
