This is difficult for me to learn about and it does sound like at the least a mistake was made. We have sailed with Captain Matt a few times and have had the opportunity to visit with him on multiple occasions. Have always found him a kind, gracious and respectful man.

We cruised on Celebrity in January and on the Prima in February. We were able to take advantage of a 50% off offer to upgrade to the premium package on Celebrity. For the Prima, we bit the bullet and paid the full fare. It wasn’t cheap, but some of the best wines we have ever enjoyed on a cruise.

We were just on the Enchanted. We upgraded to the Premiere package as we are apparently wine snobs. Even then, it was hard to get a good glass of Chardonnay unless in the dining room. Have no idea who thinks Flowers is a quality offering, very tart. Red offerings were better. As for the glasses, I have a hard time believing that many people are stealing them. Celebrity had all Riedel stemware. Princess doesn’t need to go that high end, but there has to be a happy medium.

Didn’t care for any of the Chardonnays in the bars on the Regal. Boarding the Enchanted on Saturday and hoping for something better.

In my opinion they have several good reds, most of which have been mentioned above. However, I really struggle with the whites, especially Chardonnay. I like an oaky Chardonnay and they simply don’t seem to have one.

We are scheduled to stay there in three weeks. Have never been overly concerned, but always aware. Will be following.

Appreciate the feedback. My husband read it somewhere on the Princess website.

I apologize if this has been answered, I did a search but need a quick answer. I booked a guaranteed deluxe balcony on the Enchanted Princess. We have cruised close to 80 times and I should know if it sounds too good…, so no lectures please. We ended up with a forward facing cabin. My husband has read that the door to the balcony is locked when at sea. Although this is not my preferred cabin, if we can’t choose for ourselves when we want to use the balcony that’s a big issue. If someone has been in a forward facing balcony can you let me know if you had access to the balcony at all times? TYIA.

That could very well be. Thank you for this information!

Quite a few years go we used a company by the name of Limos in Rome and had reached out to them a couple years ago, but had to cancel the cruise. They were excellent and would like to use them again next September, but am afraid they are out of business. It was definitely Limos in Rome, not Rome in Limo, and the woman the organized everything was Janie (sp?). Anyone have any current knowledge of this company? TYIA

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful information. Watched a YouTube tour a couple of nights ago. With perhaps the infinite balcony, really excited to experience this ship in late January.

Have never seen this previously on a Celebrity ship. Glad we were able to upgrade at a reasonable price as we are primarily wine drinkers.

Interesting. IMHO, Celebrity is really missing a revenue opportunity to not upgrade their thermal suite to something comparable to Princess, QM2 or even some of the newer NCL ships.

Was Windy your sommelier?

We usually Uber. However, Uber prices are supply driven so a taxi is occasionally cheaper. The last time we used Uber in October the driver spoke no English. We were on Princess and at the pier outside security so it wasn’t too bad, but it was a bit of a challenge.
