It's over 1,100 feet long.
The cars are faster and the track hangs over the side of the ship.
Behind the speedway you'll find the laser tag arena
It's themed around the lost city of Atlantis.
Both the Speedway and the laser tag are an extra charge.
One deck below is the new "Galaxy Pavillion"
This replaces "Spice H2O" found on other Breakaway-class ships.

We tried most of the rides and it really is an awesome experience.
But it comes in at an extra charge.
The "American Diner" is a speciality restaurant serving authentic American dishes.
It replaces "Margaritaville at Sea".
It even has overhead heaters so you can dine whatever the weather.

The first is "Los Lobos" the Mexican themed restaurant.
Serving Mexican favorites with a modern twist.
Nextdoor is our favorite restaurant on Norwegian ships "Cagney's Steakhouse".
It serves premium steak and seafood dishes.
It's definitely worth a visit.
Towards the center of the ship you'll find the photo gallery
and the "Tradewinds Duty-free Shops
The new rose themed chandelier covers three decks in the center of the ship.
It's huge and really beautiful.
Here you'll find another speciality restaurant "Ocean Blue".
It offered seafood dishes and features an outdoor seating area.
Unfortunately Ben has a seafood allergy so this one isn't for us.
However, we're not spot for choice on this ship.
At the opposite side is the "Sugarcane Mojito Bar".
You must try the coconut mojito.
It's really yummy.
Moving along we have the "Maltings Whiskey Bar"

It's a replica of the famous Liverpool music club.
It hosts Beatles music and tribute bands.
Just opposite is "The Cellers" wine bar.
It also offers a tapas style a la carte menu.
"Onda by Scarpetta" is the brand-new Italian specialty restaurant.
Mamma mia we had a delicious meal here.
it was much better than "La Cucina" found on other ships.
Again you can choose to eat on "The Waterfront".
"The District Brewhouse" offers an impressive array of draught beers on tap.
It also includes live entertainment and tabletop games.
"Food Republic" is another favorite of ours.
It's the Asian fusion speciality restaurant.
You order your food here using iPads on the table.
One deck down you'll find "The Encore Theater".
With productions including the "Choir of Man" and Broadway show "Kinky Boots".
You're in for a treat as both shows were absolutely fantastic
and some of the best we've seen at sea.
"The Local Bar & Grill" serves complimentary pub food 24 hours a day.
It's really tasty too.
Serving dishes like fish and chips, chicken wings and natchos.
Yummy!
The casino is located in the center of the ship.
We have to say a big well done to Norwegian
for placing a separate smoking section in a confined room
just off the side.
At the back of the ship you'll find the first of the three included main dining rooms.
"The Manhattan Room" is an impressive restaurant
with large windows all around.
It also features a stage and a dance floor.
For live performances during dinner.

Towards the back is the final specialty restaurant "Teppanyaki".
This is a super-fun dining experience.
Where the talented chefs cook at your table.
Further back is the art gallery
this will take you to the "Mixx" bar
which sits in between two of the other included main dining rooms.
The first of which is "Savour" restaurant
and on the other side "Taste" both offering the same menu.
So what did we think of the "Norwegian Encore?"
Well we were impressed because there's so much an offer
but with so many extra charge dining venues
it's definitely worth booking a package to save money.
And trust us when we say that dining is worth it
you would pay much more on a land based vacation for this quality of dining.
Bear in mind some of the activities have an extra charge,
so keep this in mind when booking.
We wouldn't hesitate to sail on "Norwegian Encore" again.
