No, it read that on Encore you can use it in either Q or Los Lobos, in place of La Cucina or Moderno.

Only 3 of the 8 Chardonnays by the glass are covered by PBP. Neither of the NCL proprietary East and West blends are. I counted 53 wines available by the glass; only 18 were under the $15 limit. Wow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is terrible, you would think their proprietary would be at the $15 cap. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in September! I had a glass of the East & West SB at Le Bistro for no upcharge. The July menus I've got bookmarked show both East & West wines at $9.95/glass. That's a 70% price hike. I doubt the wine is 70% better. To be fair, the per-glass prices on the other selections is on par with July's price. It's just the NCL wine that got priced into nickel & dime territory. Well, $2.40 upcharge territory. TBH, if I sail on the Encore, I might need an entire bottle of something to make that 678 Ocean Place lighting fixture bearable. (does it look better in person?)

Unlike the Joy, there is not a concierge desk for steerage. I was not given a number (which cruise next sometimes does). I have not asked for one.

If your DD meets the minimum height (In photo above), she can drive alone. The photos above show the doubles that run periodically during the day. When you book, it shows you times for doubles and time for solo riders (most of the time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recommendations as far as things to do outside of the immediate port? Safety concerns? Thanks No safety concerns. Yeah, there is a senior frogs at the dock. Most people ventured well Up the hill into the old city. Safe. But stores start to shut down. Bars are hopping. Today, the Encore is staying late with a 3000 passenger RCL ship. Lots of passengers and Lots of crew in the city. At 8 pm it was 83 degrees and 81% humidity. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
