pr1vatepiles Posted February 16, 2012 #1 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hello one and all. Inspired by the man Live reports that have kept me going over the months, seems only fitting to try and do one myself. This cruise is a real first for me. First time to America, first time on a cruise and first time flying across time zones. At the moment I'm more scared then excited, but that should change in few hours when I go for my plane. While the cruise doesn't start until Saturday, my holiday begins at 05:00 tomorrow morning. I plan on capturing as much of my cruise as possible so it will help prepare future first timers, and hopefully entertain the more experienced person. I'll be totally honest with my writing and if something upsets me you will be first to hear about it. So sit tight, relax and enjoy :-) Pr1vate Piles.

Ocean Dancer Posted February 16, 2012 #7 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Our first cruise was in 1991, and now 28 or so cruises later, we have lost count. What I can tell you is each cruise is different, some were better than others, and don't let others get to you. You are in for an overwhelming experience with your flight/cruise and make it a positive one!!!!:) We are looking forward to hearing about your experiences as we are on the cruise after yours. Our ports of call are different, but we have not been on Enchanment before. Wishing you a wonderful time!!!:D And by the way, if you are having so much fun that you forget what day it is (it happenes) just look down in the elavators and the carpeting will let you know!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pr1vatepiles Posted February 17, 2012 Author #13 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Good morning one and all. Reporting live from my local Mac D's, very excited at moment, however my lovely gf isn't to happy being up at this hour, suspect she will be happier when she looks at the ship tomorrow. Nearly fell down stairs with cases so seems its going to be a good day. I'll check in later on, toodles pip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How that could happen I never know :confused: we found out the secret last year of how they changed it. And it helped so much when coming out the nightclub at 4 in the morning and you realise that you have been in there for hours! Will Be following the post with intent to see how you do! Have a wonderful time!!! CK x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeGrant Posted February 17, 2012 #18 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I had completely forgotten about the carpets in the elevator!! What is an elevator? He will be a lift as he is British :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackinav Posted February 17, 2012 #19 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I don't think Enchantment's elevators had the carpets or tiles that displayed the days but if I missed it , it was because I was trying to burn up calories by using the stairs! Or maybe it was denial....... I didn't want the cruise to end! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jst4fun715 Posted February 17, 2012 #21 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hope you have a wonderful time. The Enchantment was our first cruise too. I marveled at the size of her back then! ;) Still has to rank up there with one of the best cruises....but I think the first always holds a special place!

Cruise_Kitten Posted February 17, 2012 #25 Share Posted February 17, 2012 What is an elevator? He will be a lift as he is British :p Yes yes lift/elevator....does the same thing :p Gosh maybe we should do him a list of words that he will need just so he won't get confused. Fries = Chips Chips = Crisps As soon as you get those words sorted everything else falls in to place. CK x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
