Alaskan Cruise Day 1 Norwegian Encore Seattle

Note: Day 3 of the cruise is where the nature scenery begins

Norwegian Encore Balcony Stateroom
Our cruise route was Seattle, Juneau, Skagway, Ketchikan, Glacier Bay (cruising), Victoria, BC, and back to Seattle. Entering the stateroom, I felt like I was in for something different. The guy cleaning the exterior was a nice touch, like Norwegian went that extra mile. A bottle of distilled water requested was delivered pronto and an extension power strip appeared before I even asked for it. Attention to their customer’s needs stayed that way the entire trip.
We spent time lounging and sleeping on observation deck 15. Chairs, couches, and recliners were comfortable to varying degrees. It was tough, to stay awake 🙂 . In the evenings, a piano player sang movie themes (Against All Odds) to pop tunes (Happy).

Norwegian says the observation deck has a 180-degree view. I say 270. There is more on both sides that I did not get into this video because I chose not to move from my spot. So, to avoid over-exaggeration, I will call it 180, but I know it’s more than that.
I went to The Beatles Invasion tribute performance thinking I would listen for a few minutes and leave. The band was good! For the duration of the cruise, I watched them play numerous sets in two venues; the main Encore Theater and The Cavern Club. The sixth night of the cruise was the band’s 100th and final performance. They closed with Hey Jude.
