Itchy&Scratchy

you are gonna love it! Especially with a Premier package. We are having our second Enchanted cruise this June and I already booked her again for next summer. And right now the 3rd and 4th person free promotion is finally working correctly on their website, so I've just repriced our 2025 cruise and saved $400.

not really true - we usually sail without any packages and the only ship we felt nickeled and dimed on was MSC Seascape. In any case, you could have purchased Plus package instead of Premier. It's cheaper and more cost effective for most people. not free. 🙂 You literally pay $60 pppd day for them.

you can call them in advance of your cruise and get the match. We did that for me and my husband before our very first X cruise earlier this month. So, on our very first Celebrity cruise we were already Select.

there will be other young people onboard, if she is an extrovert. My 13 yo loves Princess, even though he is an introvert and doesn't do kid's or teen club. He is never bored.

Blue Kay. We are very low key and would simply like a few chaises in a shade for a price that is not exorbitant. Before the pandemic they charged $12 pp and that included 2 drinks of your choice and a chaise. I can't find any info about present charges.

we'll be there right before you with 5 people (June 1 sailing). Been there before the pandemic, at Blue Kay beach club. We really liked it then... I hope they didn't change much or start charging a ton of money pp, but we are willing to try them again. I'll let y'all know how it goes.

Man, their website is glitching big time. It's back to $60/$80 just 10 minutes later. That, and the 3/4 person which is supposed to be free, is so not free. Not even close.

not what their website says right this moment:

when did Princess change the price to $70/$90 pppd? I could swear it was just $60/$80...

there is no such thing as a TEEN plus package. It costs the same for everyone. $60 pppd. We don't even get the Plus package for adults, let alone for our teen.

No, it wasn't. We did Blue Kay on our own a couple of times before the pandemic. We really liked it. I have been looking at cc to see if there were any newer reviews, and so far they are not promising. They probably raised prices as well. Pre-pandemic it was a reasonable $12 pp, with 2 drinks of your choice included. I guess we'll find out next month. 🙂 As for the Beach Escape ship excursion, I was just looking at the excursions for our upcoming Enchanted cruise to Costa Maya out of sheer curiosity. When I saw this particular excursion, I thought - for $50 pp with alcohol included, how bad could it be? Well, it had as many 1* reviews as it did 5* reviews, that's how bad. People's reviews said the beach they were taken to for this Beach Escape was horrible. It was not Blue Kay for sure. Oh, and the kid price is $45!!!! Ridiculous.

I will be able to check that next month! 🙂 When people say "on our last few cruises" I really can't tell how much time may have lapsed. For us it's 2-3 years. 🙂 And 2022 was only 16 months ago.

IC had salads in Nov 2022 on Enchanted: Not that I personally care about salads.... Sigh.... This is what I was there for: these were heavenly: and in the morning they had these small egg muffins, like broccoli cheddar, ham and cheese, and mushroom and cheese which were beyond delicious.

of course, it is.

if you say so. I search for 3 people and didn't notice its presence or absence either way.
