Reviewer read

Rated below most ships we track. It falls behind on service.

Seabourn Encore rates higher overall than 35% of the ships we track. Public areas is its strongest showing. The weak spot is service — and a small but very consistent signal says it is getting worse.

The one caution

8.3out of 10 for service

Higher than only 30% of ships. The typical ship scores 8.66.

Of the 32 reviewers who described service changing over time, 21 said it got worse.

Consistent, but only 32 people said it.

Everything else, in three lines

One category rates in the top tenth of the fleet — public areas.

Five are good without being remarkable: fitness, cabins, embarkation, entertainment and value. They rate higher than 56% to 83% of ships.

Disembarkation, Activities and Ship quality sit in the middle of the fleet too, on 34, 37 and 37 ratings — too few to lean on.

Two fall below the fleet: dining (higher than only 49% of ships) and service (higher than only 30% of ships).

Family has too few ratings on this ship to compare with the fleet, so it is shown without a comparison.

Who says it suited them

First-time cruisers (14 of 14).

No group described it as a poor fit.
