TheDougOut Posted November 2, 2019 #1 Share Posted November 2, 2019 This will likely be a slow start, as we get things in order over the next 24 hours for the CruiseCritic group events. We had originally booked an M8 minisuite, and our adjusted fare after the itinerary change was $2300. Our successful bid to H5 was $3190, so our all-in fare was $5490. This was an aggressive bid, as there were only 4 x H5s left. More to come. Posting live from the Encore 11/2. One last time... 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted November 2, 2019 Author #4 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Last night we had 3 seatings at the Duke, and a simultaneous pub crawl through Southampton. At Dancing Man, the infamous Will made his entrance... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted November 2, 2019 Author #7 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Stopped up at American Diner for the “free” Haven lunch... Connie (she’ll be hosting Oktoberfest later in the week) stopped by with a gift for Sue... Connie is the best. She escorted us all through Germany when we visited the Encore at Meyer Werft last spring. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDougOut Posted November 2, 2019 Author #10 Share Posted November 2, 2019 Food variety and quality was great! We all agreed - this is, by far, a better venue than Margaritaville. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San10s Posted November 2, 2019 #11 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I'm so looking forward to cruising along with you & Sue for this special Transatlantic voyage on the Encore!

TheDougOut Posted November 2, 2019 Author #16 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) My original M8 was just off the forward elevators, my preferred location for many reasons. I only aggressively-bid on the Haven courtyard categories because of this location. We were assigned 18126, which has quick access from the elevators on 18...

david_sobe Posted November 2, 2019 #20 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) Wow the blue carpet in this suite is the nicest I have seen EVER in any NCL suite. (IMHO of course) I also like the granite counter tops so much better than Bliss. Edited November 2, 2019 by david_sobe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
