We just booked the 22 day sailing departing on 10/29/2023 from Seattle on the Encore. NCL had a great Memorial Day sale and we nabbed a balcony stateroom with the angular balcony at a great price.

Deal included beverage package, 3 specialty dining package, 300 minutes wifi pp, and $50 excursion credit per port. Room gratuities were included as well.

How was your cruise?  Did you purchase the vibe or thermal suite package?  I have this cruise booked in reverse from Miami to Seattle in April 2026.  I was able to get an angled balcony cabin 12180.  I have plenty of time to watch for price drops.  I'd appreciate any tips you could share.  Thank you.

My wife and I have the 21 day booked on the Encore on the April 7, 2024 sailing. 
I think we got a good price. Balcony, mid-ship, 14th deck, drink package, airfare, trip insurance and all other taxes, fees, 3 speciality meals ( each), 300 min. internet each,  service charges, etc. for $8,100. 
 

Since it is a 21 day cruise, I will probably purchase 3-4 additional specialty meals. Still plenty of time to figure all that out!

That sounds like a great deal.  How long ago did you book it?

We are also on the April 7, 2024 cruise and are also staying on the ship for a seven day Alaska cruise. We have Vibe booked for the 21 day cruise but not Alaska (too cold). Looking forward to this endurance test, just hoping my liver can hold up for 28 days.

Hello, we are booked to for a 21 day also but Oct 2024, did you write a review of your experinces on the Encore, like how was the  food, crowds, entertainment..etc. Our package does not include the room gratuities which would be great.

Thanks

I did the 20-day on the Sun.  Not sure how helpful this may be, but here you go.
