what are the eight things you can do
0:03
onboard Norwegian uncle I'm Gary
0:06
Bainbridge this is another of my tips
0:08
for travelers Norwegian cruises and
0:10
encore offer you huge amounts of choice
0:12
on their cruises but not everything is
0:15
for free so I want to talk about eight
0:17
incredible things that you can do
0:19
without paying any extra money above
0:22
your cruise fare starting with this one
0:25
you can go and see a Broadway production
0:28
shows of incredibly high quality on
0:31
Norwegian encore they have the multi
0:34
award-winning show which one Toni's and
0:37
also won awards in the London West End
0:39
kinky boots it's a full 90-minute
0:42
production and it is really top
0:44
top-notch the other phenomenal
0:46
production which you can see for free is
0:48
called the choir of man I was very
0:51
skeptical about the show went in had a
0:53
great time incredible talent phenomenal
0:55
voices reimagining the songs that we all
0:59
know lots of contemporary songs a really
1:01
beautiful story so those are all
1:03
included within your fare they're
1:05
completely and utterly free to go to and
1:08
I definitely strongly recommend you go
1:10
and see the big production shows the
1:12
second thing is there is a huge amount
1:15
of live music around the ship that again
1:17
is all included within your fare the
1:20
first of those and one of those popular
1:22
is in the cavern club this is recreating
1:24
the Liverpool club where the Beatles
1:27
were founded and there's a Beatles
1:29
tribute band that play in here twice a
1:31
night and they cover all the greatest
1:33
hits from different phases during their
1:35
career it's hugely popular and really
1:37
good fun I'm not a big Beatles fan but
1:39
had a great time in there with this band
1:41
dotted around the ship there's lots of
1:43
other live music throughout the evening
1:45
and the one somebody check out are in
1:48
the district brew house they have a
1:50
singer pianist who does sing alongs in
1:52
the sugar cane mojito bar they have
1:55
Latin music but a dancing and then you
1:57
have a house band entertaining in the
1:59
different lounges around the ship and in
2:02
the main atrium the actual music is
2:04
completely free if you would have a
2:06
drink while you watch it you pay for
2:08
your drinks but the live music
2:10
completely free and included you could
2:14
for free go and have a great evening of
2:16
comedies so in the social club they have
2:20
a comedian on various times during the
2:23
night and then the late evening that
2:24
becomes the night club so you can laugh
2:26
your head off and then dance the night
2:28
away until really late again if you want
2:30
something to drink you pay for that but
2:32
the actual entertainment the deejay and
2:34
the comedy completely free access to
2:37
pretty much all the facilities onboard
2:38
is included there are a couple of
2:40
exceptions but one of the things that is
2:42
included that is phenomenal is the water
2:45
parks as two water box one which is for
2:47
basically adults and people of all ages
2:50
and then as a kids aqua park in the
2:53
adults park you have two multi storey
2:56
high thrill rides the first of which is
2:59
called the aqua racer these are tandem
3:02
water slides and then you have ocean
3:04
loops which extend right out over the
3:07
you wash over the side of the ship and
3:08
you go through a double loop down on the
3:12
pool deck you have the kids aqua area
3:14
where there's lots of cascading water
3:16
and lots of fun for the kids again of
3:19
course the use of the pools is all
3:21
included within the fair but the
3:22
waterpark 100% included the fifth thing
3:26
that you can do for free is go and watch
3:28
the go kart this Speedway if you want to
3:31
take part in the go kart you do have to
3:32
pay for that but you can go and watch
3:34
the thrills and perhaps the spills up on
3:37
the two-level go-kart race track the
3:40
Encore Speedway it's larger than the
3:43
ones on the other ships of a similar
3:45
size there's a great viewing area right
3:46
in the middle of the track and it really
3:48
is a huge amount of fun if you want to
3:51
go on the go-karts you do pay it's at
3:53
the time recording it was 995 for one
3:56
circuit you can also buy a day pass or a
3:59
entire cruise long pass which gives you
4:01
unlimited rides so a day pass was 2995
4:05
per person and it was just under $200
4:07
for a full weekly pass if you're into
4:11
laser tag there is an open-air course
4:13
which is the lost city of Atlantis and
4:16
you do have to pay to take part in that
4:18
again it's around about 995 per person
4:21
for a game and you can buy weekly and
4:23
day passes to play laser
4:27
there's no way that you can actually
4:28
watch that particular activity you can
4:31
also head down to Galaxy pavilion and
4:33
watch people on the simulator is a sort
4:36
of multi-dimensional 4d right so people
4:39
are wearing the virtual reality goggles
4:41
you can go and watch people take part in
4:44
these various activities if you do want
4:46
to go on any of the rise that does in
4:48
cone extra-cost we can slowly go down
4:49
and have a look at everyone making fools
4:52
of themselves and sometimes on those
4:53
particular rides also there is a video
4:56
arcade which again is a paper play this
4:58
is a great space and there's lots of
5:00
things to do here but again you can
5:01
watch people playing but you can't take
5:03
part without paying so the critical
5:05
thing to do in terms of all those
5:06
activities which I would strongly
5:08
recommend you do is go and watch the
5:10
Speedway on encore and the various races
5:13
it's really good fun the good news is
5:17
in other words included within your fare
5:19
you can eat for 24 hours of the day now
5:23
there's a couple of key dining options
5:24
that are included within your fare so
5:26
you have three main dining rooms which
5:29
are called taste savor and the Manhattan
5:32
room they all have the same menu so it
5:34
really depends on which of the Dacor all
5:36
the venues you prefer breakfast lunch or
5:38
dinner and these are very beautiful
5:40
rooms and you can go in there and have
5:43
full multi-course meals the other
5:46
restaurant which is included within your
5:48
fare is the Garden Cafe which is the
5:51
buffet restaurant I really like this as
5:53
a buffet restaurant they had all sorts
5:54
of different stations serve example at
5:56
lunchtime you could have a stir fries
5:59
you could have a pasta station there
6:01
would be a pizza station to be a burger
6:03
station and again at breakfast you'd
6:05
have all sorts of different types of
6:07
stations they have lots of desserts and
6:10
you can have huge amounts of food up
6:13
there in the garden Kevin that it tends
6:14
to be open for breakfast lunch and
6:17
dinner you'll normally find that some
6:18
parts of the day you can go up and get
6:20
some free teas and coffees juices and
6:23
various snacks all the speciality
6:25
restaurants you do have to pay extra to
6:27
go to and there are a lot of them
6:29
however there is one of the speciality
6:31
restaurants that is included within your
6:33
fare and that's the local the local has
6:36
comfort food so you've got hamburgers
6:38
hot dogs fish and chips and this is a
6:41
great space to go it's open 24 hours a
6:44
day you can have comfort food again you
6:46
pay if you have a drink so you don't
6:48
have to pay for your drinks and it's a
6:50
really great location and you can look
6:53
down onto the main atrium a great
6:55
meeting point but that is all included
6:57
within your faith everything else there
6:58
is some charges so for example on room
7:01
you do pay a service fee which is the
7:04
timer recording was seven dollars 95 per
7:07
order if you want to go to any of the
7:09
especially to restaurants of which there
7:11
are at least nine of them or you want to
7:14
go to any of the other food and beverage
7:15
outlets like the Starbucks or the bake
7:17
shop or the ice cream shop you do pay to
7:22
go to those so the free things are your
7:25
main dining rooms of buffet and the
7:27
local the next one is great
7:29
particularly for parents or
7:31
multi-generational families traveling
7:33
together is you can leave the kids to
7:35
play all day be looked after all day and
7:38
that's all included within the fit so
7:40
it's free they have three phenomenal
7:43
kids clubs and these really are huge big
7:46
spaces and they can cope with hundreds
7:49
of kids in the peak season so for
7:50
example at the really peak time like
7:52
Thanksgiving they could have literally
7:54
almost a thousand kids being looked
7:56
after by these various kids clubs so the
7:59
key ones that you need to know about our
8:01
first of all Guppies now Guppies is a
8:03
largely unsupervised space for very
8:06
young toddlers where parents can go and
8:08
play with their toddlers and there's all
8:10
sorts of things to do there the next one
8:12
which is one of the most important ones
8:14
of all and the most popular ones of all
8:15
and the biggest of all is called the
8:17
Splash Academy it's got nothing to do
8:19
with waters just a name this is where
8:21
kids from 3 up till 12 will be able to
8:24
go and play and they're divided into
8:27
different age groups then you have
8:29
entourage which is for the teenagers so
8:31
that's from 13 up until 17 that's all
8:34
included within the fair and your kids
8:35
can spend all day there the only thing
8:37
you would pay for the main kids club the
8:40
splash academy that closes at lunchtime
8:43
for an hour and it closes in the evening
8:45
for an hour now if you want your kids on
8:47
port days to be supervised and taken to
8:50
meals you'll pay at the time
8:52
according $6 for lunch $6 for dinner so
8:54
the great news is as a parent you could
8:57
go off on an all-day excursion and your
8:58
kids would be supervised and you'd
9:00
literally paying $6 but the actual
9:02
supervision out of mealtimes totally
9:05
free included within the fair after
9:07
talking about the ability to eat 24
9:10
hours a day and the huge amount of food
9:12
options you'll be pleased to know that
9:13
there's another thing that you can do
9:16
for free and let's go to the very large
9:18
fitness center so all the cardio
9:20
equipment all of the weights is included
9:22
with your face free to use once you
9:24
start looking at classes you will pay
9:26
for classes so but you can get a good
9:28
workout you can really exercise and burn
9:31
off any of those extra calories to then
9:33
go back to your 24-hour eating also on
9:36
board there is a running track around
9:38
near the pool deck as well so again you
9:42
can exercise all included within your
9:44
fair Norwegian cruise lines and
9:46
Norwegian encore really focus on their
9:48
freestyle cruising which is giving you
9:51
lots and lots of choice now a lot of the
9:53
choice options do have a price
9:55
associated with them however you can
9:57
come onboard Norwegian encore and do
9:59
loads of things for free in terms of
10:02
exercising entertainment dining all
10:05
included within your fare and without
10:07
having to put your hand in your pocket
10:09
and pay for anything extra unless of
10:11
course those things really appeal to you
10:13
hope you found that helpful I have loads
10:15
more videos about Norwegian cruise lines
10:17
and cruising and I'd love it if you
10:18
watched another one of those right now
