  1. that's like saying don't go to Korea because it's close to North Korea...
  2. while recently on the Enchanted for multiple cruises, on our first turn around day, embarkation was put on hold for about 2.5 hours because someone going thru security apparently had a lighter shaped like a gun. It was a mess....USCG and the police got involved.
  3. we just got off from 40 days on the Enchanted....dining room service was excellent, and the food was generally pretty good. Buffet food was very good at breakfast, as was the couple of times we had lunch there. The only one time there for dinner....it was very quiet and food and service was good with lots of choice. Our first 10 days saw very poor service in Good Spirits, and they must have done something because the service greatly improved after that. Early morning coffee service in the IC was outstanding. We never ordered anything from the App. But, I should add that we heard a rumour that staffing on the ship was down between 200 and 300 crew members.
  4. only if you get up early when the deck crew are putting out the loungers....7am or shortly before. Especially on a sea day
  5. Not trying to "one up" you, but we were there 4 times on the Enchanted....3 times bow facing out and once facing in.
  6. we were on the same ship to the same destination last Oct/Nov....and arrived at the port and 10AM. What a disaster......having experienced that, I would suggest to arrive at noon or later. It was a total mess. Princess blamed both the port folks and the USCG....no matter whose fault, it was the worst ever.
  7. We are just home from 40 days on the Enchanted, and 10 sea days in the Sanctuary. Not sure that I ever saw all the Cabanas full. However, service levels were not as good as previous voyages on the ship. Examples: On one of our last days, at 9:30am and never having been asked if we wanted breakfast, I asked one of the crew if it was "too late for breakfast?"....I got a "Maybe"...so I asked if that was a yes or a no, and I got another "Maybe", and the guy walked away. Another day, at tea time....there were still 7 guests to be served and they only had 1 pastry left on the cart with no refills underneath. When I saw that, I suggested that maybe some days they should start the service from the other end, and that just drew blank stares. Some days, coffee service in the morning, came in cups from the buffet area, and was cold when it arrived. Anyhow, standards we experienced in the past were lacking for sure.
  8. nothing.....it is irrelevant now. Just arrive when you want
  9. we got them 20 days ago on the Enchanted
  10. we just got off the Enchanted....40 days...b2b2b2b...and we got them on the last two cruises. Design has changed, and slightly different colour
  11. that story is dated July 2023....very old news. It has been that way now for a long time.
  12. In November on the sapphire to the south pacific, the cut off was 840 days. Presently on the enchanted and have been told the cut off on each recent cruises has been about 875 days.
  13. Right....had family that lived there. We're in Sudbury.
  14. Malamute, Siberian mix. He was a fantastic dog. I think we live about 2.5 hours north of you.
  15. New itinerary for us.... prior to getting on the majestic, we will be on the Emerald doing a UK cruise and then one night in Southampton between cruises. Presently on board the enchanted for 40 days... with 12 days still to go.
  16. We are on this sailing in 25 also....but doing Greenland this summer from Boston. .
  17. Staying on board after the South Pacific and heading south, right?....we were very very tempted but...
  18. a quick google search took me to the official government site for getting tickets but I didn't see mention of tickets with a guide, tho
  19. depends on how quickly they clear the ship from the previous cruise,...but boarding can be around 11...with handicapped, Suite Pax and Elite boarding first. B2B pax will be ahead of those mentioned above, and sometimes dealing with them can slow things down.
  20. lots of photos if you do a google search....then you can count the number of lounge chairs, if that's important
  21. yes....$40 full day, $20 half day
