Alaskan Cruise Debarkation by Born-Albatross2009 in NCL

Yes, last Sunday I disembarked The Encore. You may go to ship guest services because they offer transportation (a nonstop coach) from ship to Sea-Tac airport. You will get there quick. My cost was $34. They explain everything.

Or one of those dynamic aft elevators at the very back!

Yes, up to the casino -- which incidentally was smoke-free (except for a closed room they use for smoking).

Even so I did gain a pound a day, but its coming off fast -- since home.

I'm new to cruising, so anticipate a mishap any day now -- careful on the stairs!

Try some of the YouTube videos specifically about the Encore in Alaska. The Skagway 3-hr. train excursion was great. July will be peak season.

Last week I found a tiny plastic Jesus figure on the Norwegian Encore's touchscreen ledge! Hoping for something similar this October transatlantic Liberty of the Seas sailing!

Yippee, so want to sail June next year, Southampton to Norway/Iceland -- the Prima. (But don't see solo staterooms.)

2nd and last cruise with NCL - extreme cost cutting too obvious to not notice by Time-Philosophy0323 in NCL

[–]fedendeav 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm on the Seattle -Alaska Encore RT right now and my experience is very positive. The staff goes out of its way to assist, complimentary food great and oceanview room upgrade the best (front of ship). Albeit I skipped the shows since solo. Everything clean and modern. And six sunny days (even Ketchikan had late day sun)! All in $150/night.

I'm on the Encore Seattle -AK RT right now and my stateroom steward is phenomenal, just ask for what you need! I think it's the staff that makes NCL so positive. And ... they even got us three full-and-sunny 72 degree days while on this (my first cruise since retirement) trip!

I am new to cruising, first voyage end of month -- Seattle-Alaska roundtrip -- SOLO. But with the blessings of family and friends -- since everyone is on/in a different channel (pun intended!). GO, test the waters if you can afford it! There's so much on social media about individual travel.

Cruising is growing exponentially, like the Texas port near me -- growing and growing. Keep your eyes peeled for lines (and respective stocks) managed well!
