[@surfergirl326]

OMG!🤤🤤🤤🤤 I love that amazing view. Who see Whales while you eat??🤣😂 I loved the Lighted Ice Sculptures.

[@LBVTV]

Wasn’t it amazing!! And the food sculpture was such a fun surprise too 🤣

[@brendatori1869]

Yum! I plan to be on the Encore in the spring. Note to self: take the stairs to burn those calories

[@LBVTV]

Haha that’s what we did too! Always take the stairs lol!

[@ItsmeDavidT]

We were on the Encore in April for the Panama Canal Cruise. Buffet was very good and the staff outstanding. They offered a different special each night. I/we recommend claiming a table before you enter the buffet line to get your food. (note: They do not have iced tea available for self serve during breakfast. You need to ask one of the staff for it.

[@LBVTV]

Yess definitely grab a table before getting food! It can get quite busy! 😅 and good to know for sweet tea during breakfast too!

[@allikatz]

Everything looks so yummy. Amazing!!! My new favorite toppings on a burger is Brie, applewood smoked bacon and caramelized onion that one of our local restaurants serves here in NY 😋

[@LBVTV]

Wowow that sounds amazinggg! 🤩 I loveeee caramelized onions on everything!!

[@danacasey8543]

Love the buffets on NCL!

[@LBVTV]

So delicious!!!

[@stevealkire7626]

*Nicely done, I had to eat dinner while watching you!!* 🤗

[@LBVTV]

Lol I can't remember ever being so full! I wanted to eat everything I saw! I am so glad you got to virtually eat with us hehe!

[@debsterchen]

We just got off the Encore and had a great time! The favorite for most of us was the Indian food - the butter chicken is super yummy and great nan bread. I had a great noodle bowl in tom yum broth and the best Thai fish filets. It’s definitely super crowded. The omelet bar is a great option in the morning. Desserts are generally mediocre though at the buffet - but there is alot of ice cream choices and yummy soft serve. The best desserts are in the sit down dining rooms and specialty restaurants.

[@LBVTV]

Yes to all of this! We just came back from a Disney cruise and I gotta say Norwegian knows what they’re doing when it comes to the food! So glad you enjoyed your time aboard the encore! And thank you so much for watching our vlog!

[@robertandersen7077]

This is the exacted cruise I'm looking to take next summer. Just getting through some money issues and the planning will begin. Thank you for sharing your adventures with us. Very helpful. I do have one question. Because I'm single do they have single room prices. Have a great night and thanks again.

[@LBVTV]

Ahh you will love the encore! And yes, I believe they do have single rooms when we were booking ours, it looked like a studio room with a twin bed that is available! Thanks so much for watching, we have one more alaska cruise vlog coming tonight!

[@michaelmencher156]

Holy Ship! 🤯, Wall to wall super buffet Crazypants Yummy Food!! Fuhhgetaboutit! So cool Maria and Chris! ♥ . "Dead Bread tell no tales"☠️☠️☠️ 😂! Bye for now you Guys!

[@LBVTV]

lol best part 🤣 it was delicious! Thanks so much for watching!

[@elnamayberry]

You said at 16:57 that the alcoholic drinks were included in the dining package - I thought they were only included in the separate drinks package and the dining package only had basic tea, coffee, etc.?

[@LBVTV]

For our specific cruise date, all guests were offered a free drink package! :)

[@lindadunham286]

You always have room for Jello.

[@LBVTV]

Haha yes!! Always 😆

[@Ram-888_]

I would be making myself sick at every meal from ridiculously overeating 😆

[@LBVTV]

Oh my gosh if we weren’t eating, we were snoozing from how full we were 🤣

[@Ram-888_]

@@LBVTV food coma! 🍔🍟🍕🌭🍗🌮🥨🥱😴💤

[@carouselkim8992]

I had to pause this to go make a box of Ghirardelli brownies 1/2 way thru this 1/2 mile buffet haha. I might have tried the Tortilla Soup and mexican food options or a fancy sauce pasta w/ one a unique bread to dip. Ice Sculpture means a quick one woman show dance party 😂 So funny at a Huge buffet, Huge Chris chose... baby sized ice cream 🤣Unbelievable amount of good looking food options on your NCL!

[@LBVTV]

Lol right!! So many options, and Chris picks a tiny ice cream cone hehe he is such a goof!! But We also tried to conserve.. we wanted to try everything and our eyes were definitely bigger than our stomachs!!! But I am so glad you go to eat some yummy treats along with us! I LOVE Ghiradelli brownies!! Great choice! hehe

[@donnawood271]

Hi, I just found your website or vlog I am doing some digging for some information on the NCL encore in the Haven. I have done the Haven on the Bliss and you were right the Haven I’ve never been able to afford the owner suite if you can get, I don’t know maybe three couples and go in and split it that would be affordable, but the only thing that you keep saying is you keep calling it a boat and people get really really really upset when you call a cruise ship a boat I have been corrected many time, because when I first started cruising and I called it a boot, and I have been put in my place and when you really think about it, it’s kind of insulting to call that monster us ship a boat but I just thought I would just let you know that you’ll probably have a lot of people that will correct you because it’s surprising how people get upset over something so it doesn’t matter or does to some people I guess but there’s bigger fish to fry in my opinion, but I have learned now not to call A Ship a boat. I love your videos. You have done an awesome job.

[@LBVTV]

ooo good to know about the ship! it was our first ever cruise, so we had a lot to learn! we loved our time with NCL and hoping to go back again in the future! the haven is definitely a must!

[@Zanlacs]

No zebra domes then its not home

[@LBVTV]

Haha true!! AKL zebra domes are iconic!!

[@kathleemcallister]

Awww Kathleen you are so sweet! Thank you! I have the best time doing anything with my partner in crime, Chris. He is awesome! Thanks for being a part of our adventures on here !
