7-night Western Caribbean: Harvest Caye, Cozumel & Roatan Cruise

1. New England Canada Sept 2023

   

   September 2023 New England - Canada

   PROS: I've been on the Encore twice and this ship was an older version that's scheduled for and update within the year. Food, entertainment and stateroom was typical NCL nice

   CONS: The first 2 stops (Boston and Portland Maine) were deleted and we lost a day of the cruise because of a Hurricane by Bermuda where the ship came from. Some of the tours needed better on shore leadership via signs- it was confusing without the normal signs on shore

   RECOMMENDED: Yes

5. Great Vacation Cruise to New England and eastern Canada

   

   September 2022 Boston; Portland, Maine; St. John; Halifax

   PROS: Beautiful, modern ship with every amenity you could want; immaculately clean everywhere; extremely friendly, attentive and professional crew and staff; great food quality with incredible choices of venues and cuisines; 2 dinners in specialty restaurants included in our cruise package and both meals were excellent (Teppanyaki and La Cucina); quality beverage plan included in our cruise package and outstanding bartenders at all locations; amazing production shows (Footloose and Element) with very nice smaller music venues and entertainment throughout; great cabin steward service; nice, big veranda with 2 chairs, a chaise and a table; great shower in cabin bathroom; comfortable and quality mattress, bedding and bath linens; safe in the cabin; plenty of hangars in the cabin closet; Freestyle Daily was extremely well done and very informative; helpful guest service staff; plenty of very fast elevators throughout the ship with ship’s maps in all of the lobbies for ease of finding things; touch screens located throughout the ship for information and setting up daily activities and reservations; timeliness and accuracy of itinerary; nice, smooth sail; ease of disembarking at ports, especially at final New York docking where we had an early return flight from LaGuardia; overall value of this cruise.

   CONS: Location of Atrium right next to guest service area with staff using extremely loud microphones carried (including up to The Local) and made it very difficult to communicate with service staff; cabins somewhat sparse on amenities (no robes, bottled water only for sale, not complimentary, no towel animals, no writing pad and pen); no instructions for using the television entertainment center in the cabin; sofa in the cabin was hard; $9.95 charge for room service other than the complimentary continental; charges for Internet are a rip-off.
