Hi @2 to Sea, Enjoyed your Live From, as we just got off the beautiful Enchanted this morning as well! So interesting to get someone else's perspective! Our experience was quite a bit different from yours, as we've cruised the Caribbean so much over the years, and we live at the beach in Florida, so for us, the ship is the destination and we don't get off at all. Hearing about your excursions was interesting. We also loved Take Five, and ended up there most nights. Thanks for this fun review!

Thanks. That's good info and exactly what we were looking for.

To get to LaGuardia, which is better: from Red Hook or from the ferry drop off at Wall St? We've never done either, and we aren't familiar with the geography of it. Thanks.

We'll be sure to spend our fair share of time in O'Malley's as we've got Premier and will definitely take advantage. Is O'Malley's open for lunch and dinner most days, but especially on sea days? Even if you're not having a meal, are people in there just to have a drink and listen to the band? Congrats on scoring seats in the Sanctuary ... happy places within happy places!

Thank you for this great review. Enjoying it so much as we'll be on the Enchanted for the first time next week. We were on the Sky at the same time as you were back in December (the Porsche cruise, as we've taken to calling it in this household! 😅) and we thought it was funny that we missed being on the Enchanted at the same time by just a week. Sounds like we're on a similar cruise schedule! Hope you continue to have a fabulous time this week, and we'll be looking forward to hearing more of your impressions.

Oh wow! You're seeing cruising ducks everywhere! Thanks for posting this ... utterly cute and it made me smile (as the ducks always do). 👍

Whenever we've tried to do the upgrade ourselves online (and this has always been pre-final balance payment), we get a message telling us to contact our travel agent. The first time, we also tried calling and speaking to a CSR, and they said that if you are working with a TA, the transaction must be done through them. We did that and the cost was added onto our balance payment. We're wondering if it would be different if we tried doing it after final payment had been made. But that hasn't suited our timing so far, so we're left to wonder. But it was easy doing it through the TA.

@JGmf: Thanks so much for doing this review of your cruise on the Enchanted. We'll be sailing on her next month, and then again for a 14-nighter to the ABC's in August, so we really appreciate your insights and, of course, your photos.

Thank you for posting these photos ... they made me smile so hard when I saw them this morning! Cuteness overload! I'm not especially impressed when I find a really tiny one, but the littlest ones in the photo are adorable to look at. Now ... I MUST find one of the ones with the Einstein wild "hair"! 🤞😂

Your ducks are adorable! They are really cute ones and I like that they're white, not yellow (don't ask me why 😂😂🤔). Like someone mentioned above, when I first heard of this hiding and finding duck "phenomenon", I wondered why people were so into it. Then I walked off an elevator and found my first duck ... I was pretty excited! Then I thought "ooooh, I get it now!". For some reason though, the 4 I've found, are all a little weird-looking! They've all got some strange little features! ( I still like having them though. 👍). But your ducks are extremely cute!

We're in South Florida, so not too close to the Central area (although we do really like finding cruises that leave from Port Canaveral ... it's a nice change from Miami and FLL!) Enjoy your visit to Cocoa Beach, and if you get a chance over a weekend, you can go to see cruise ships departing from PC. It can be fun to sit and watch them cruising past you!

Hope you're finding this thread as interesting and as useful as I have! The idea of makeup tattoos is intriguing ... like eyeliner and such? And what is bar products for hair? Wracking my brain but can't remember ever seeing anything like that. Oh, and thanks for the Wool and Prince suggestion ... will definitely check it out. Enjoy your upcoming TA's ... we're really looking forward to them!

Thanks so much for this great reply! Very useful info! Had to laugh at the "Gift with Purchase" suggestion ... for years, I'd always have store schedules for all my favorite brands of when they were having their promos! Too bad for me if I ran out of something I liked when a promo wasn't running ... I'd wait to get those goodie bags (and soooo many make-up bags!)

Wow ... this is unique (at least to us). DH makes our air arrangements and is the cruise itinerary researcher, so I'm sure he'll be really interested to hear this. Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for the reply. Hope you post on how you like the eastbound vs the westbound you already did. Enjoy the Sky ... she's pretty ship. Have a great cruise!
