Summary

A review of Norwegian Cruise Line's Norwegian Encore. This ship was launched in 2019 and only sailed a couple of months before the cruise industry shutdown. William and his family sailed this seven-night cruise to Southeast Alaska from Seattle.

Richard has cruise news on:

Grand Turk could see cruise ships by the end of 2021
More Carnival Corporation cruise ships returned to service over the weekend
San Francisco reopened to cruise ships this week
Nearly 250,000 guests have sailed Carnival Cruise Line over the past three months
Another cruise line adds a second world cruise

Listener Questions:

If you've got a minute could you tell me if the Covid home test for Royal Caribbean can be done anytime during the day/night. We are heading to Miami 2 days before sailing and need to be at the airport by 9:00 a.m. Thursday (sailing Saturday). Would be nice if we could use the test kit around 7 a.m. — Carol

We are sailing Mardi Gras and have a question about Carnival Kitchen. How much does it cost, what is involved, and how do we make reservations for it? Is this like a chef's table experience?

0:51.2	Grand Turk probably wouldn't open up to cruise ships again until
