Our 'theory' is that the weather isnt terribly hot yet, maybe mid 70s when we left Ft laudale so maybe they run the heat in some areas or dont have the air cranked up yet. Maybe in the summer months when its constantly hot, the temp is more consistent?? Anyway, not the end of the world, you have a great cruise. This has been one of the best for us and we have a lot under our belt. Im going to write a review when we get back tomorrow.

Our cabin in nice and cool. Just seems to be the public areas / Elevators. We ate at the MDR last night and it was warm. Not terrible, but was warm and with the movement of the ship, my wife was getting a bit seasick.

In regards to etiquette I agree that there has been some rudeness around the elevators but given we just came of a MSC cruise, people on this cruise have been wonderful. So refreshing.

Yea, i get that, but even on the lower decks in around the elevators its hot. Ive heard several comments about the elevators not being air conditioned but i dont know if thats true. Been a wonderful trip for us, but that would be one ding i give them on my review when i get back. Elevators are hot and crowded. They also seem smaller than other ships we have been on.

we have found it to be too warm in lot of areas. Elevators and the waiting areas around the elevators in particular. Once you get to the lower decks around the main lobby area it seems to be cooler and a more consistent temp.

Did they give you a new room? Ship seems full so im curious if they had one available.

Now you have me curious who you are. We were in the middle cabana close to the hot tub. And agreed, great service all day.

agreed. Ordered a irish coffee over an hour ago and no show. I would like my drink credit back though so we are using that chat feature in the app. That is pretty cool, been using that a lot and they are pretty responsive.

We are on enchanted now and i will say, there is a lot of shade in the Sanctuary, but im sure you will find some sun, however, if you are looking for a chair directly in the sun, i dont think you will have a hard time in the regular areas. There are a lot of chairs especially on the deck above the main pool. Also we are in a suite and although i dont know if that gives us priority, but we put our name on the waiting list that was almost 2 pages long when we boarded and a little before 5, we got a call that we could have any days we wanted.

we also boarded this morning and i have to say, that was an unbelievable experience. Arrived at 11, on the ship by 11:15. Incredible. How can princess do that so well?? Well off to a good start. We put out name on the waiting list for a cabana and just got a call to say we could have it whenever we wanted. My wife had to ask the lady on the phone if she heard that correctly... We choose 2 of the 3 sea days. hate to jinx it but everything seems to be going right. Very impressed so far.

Denied on our Enchanted sailing tomorrow, 4/20. We have a S5 and were bidding on a S3 and S2 aft owners and penhouse suites, max bid amount but didnt get either. Ship my be very full. Oh well, s5 Forward suite will do just fine although one day i do want try one of the large aft balconies...

See you on board tomorrow. We leave this afternoon from NC. Looking forward to it. Our first princess cruise in over 20 years. Yes, before carnival acquired them so it will be interesting to see the changes. Fingers crossed its somewhat the way we remember because we sailed princess pretty much exclusively pre kids and it was wonderful.

We are on enchanted princess in 2 days and made the max bid on a couple cabins, but nothing so far and given we sail saturday, im guessing its not going to happen. It has also been sold out for some time. I agree thats its possible to get upgraded on a sold out cruise, but they are probably few and far between.

Well, thats great, and then not so great when we disembark. Our flight is at 2:30pm so im guessing that if passengers are getting on that early, we are going to have to get off really early so fingers crossed they offer the check luggage option on our cruise next week or we will be lugging that stuff around for a couple of hours.

Great info everyone, thank you. And that is quite a bit earlier than what we have experienced with other cruise lines of late. I dont think we have ever arrived much before 11:30 given we wait until the last minute to check out of the hotel which is usually 11 and then go to the port so usually on the ship around 12:30ish. The hotel we are staying at on friday has a checkout of 12 and we were debating on waiting until that time to leave for the port, but based on this info, i think we are going to leave earlier. Maybe around 10:30. thx again
