I also had a clicking noise and it was driving me bat s..t crazy.    Turns out the clicking in my room was on my balcony door.  I shut the door, but didn't put the handle in the down position (to firmly lock it).    It was worse in rougher water.   It was such an easy fix after a couple of days of torture.

Glad you were able to find the source of your clicking noise and fix it. I talked to our neighbors and they said they also heard clicking but they are skeptical the rolling of the ship was causing the problem.

A glorious sunrise!  I just realized I'm in your shot- if you zoom in on the bridge, you can see me standing out on my deck appreciating the view.  

 

I'm interested to know how you like that angled balcony?  What category stateroom is it?

We like it, not much wind and the extra space is nice. Cabin is MA Mini Suite.

The same exact thing we heard when we were on a couple weeks ago. My husband said it sounded like someone knocking. I thought it sounded like creaking when your house is settling. I asked my sister who was on another floor and she heard it too. It was constant and seemed to be with the swaying or the movement of the ship. Luckily I brought my earplugs. I think it had to do with being a new ship. Maybe it's just settling in.

That’s exactly the sounds we WERE hearing. Our cabin attendant showed us another area down the hallway making the same noise. He explained that it’s the movement of the ship (swaying) and will go away as we get to calmer seas. The seas have been pretty calm but he was right. Last night NO noise!

Tonight our granddaughter found a cruise duck in the Piazza.  She had fun finding a new hiding place. 🦆

My wife and I saw a little girl place a cruise duck in the Skagway dining room tonight.

Medallion Net, a little slow but works fine.

We were able to stream a show on Hulu so

all is good. Medallion App works but occasionally

drops the Internet connection.

Crooners Bar last night at 6;15 was full but we were able to get seats. Service was slow and our waitress was apologetic.

Skagway dining room was good. Dinner was typical and

service was very good. We asked if we could reserve our table for 7pm so the hostess put our room number down. We will see what happens tonight. In the past our request for the same table has been granted.

Now the VERY annoying part, our cabin midship has a constant clicking noise. When I see our neighbors on either side of us I will ask them if they hear it also. When we see the cabin steward i will bring it to his attention. I can’t believe that we are the first to hear this noise so I’m thinking it can’t be fixed.

You will need a Taxi for Pipi’s. Don’t let the taxi driver talk you out of going there. Last year the Taxi driver said Pipi’s has gone downhill, not true!

Official passenger count 1164.

Full crew count on board 863.

No International Cafe. 
There is a Ian who is the Assistant Cruise Director. 

Olivia is the Cruise Director. 
1200 passengers is what I heard. 
Ship does not seem crowded at all.

I don't know what DR you were in or what time of day it was but we always ate at 5 PM & out waiter was extremely fast. He was waiting for us to arrive and as soon as one course was done the second one hit the table. My only complaint was it was hard to understand them with their masks on. 😷

We found some meals to be outstanding while others not so great. That's where the waiter's recommendations comes in handy. 

Amalfi Dining Room at 7:20. Table for two. Our waiter was really not that busy as there was open tables around us. My wife comment is he was a little lost. We did take is recommendation the last night and the Steak & Shrimp was excellent, the best meal we had in the dining room.

We were also on the same cruise and agree the cruise was great. Staff was top notch. Our cabin steward was a seasoned professional. Entertainment was excellent. Dining in Crown Grill & Sabatini’s was very good. Only disappointment for us was the main dining room, service was average and the food mediocre. What made the cruise was our fellow guests. Everyone we encountered was friendly and happy to be back cruising.

Nice Video! Did you contact Beach Limerz in advance or just show up? How are the restrooms?

The Enchanted are white because it is the inaugural season. (at least ours are). We received our medallions today also, except there was only my husband's in the box! Nothing for me.

Janet

Thank you Janet! That explains the Platinum ring around the outside. Sorry you didn't receive your Medallion.

My favorite elite story:

 

2019 I was in the piazza in a private conversation and someone chipped in. Just knew how EVERYTHING worked. I do mean everything. Then bragged that they'd been on 20 cruises. I just nodded. "Oh that's nice." Ex-pert = sped up drip. 

 

I now have 4 colors: blue, red, gold, black. Gray is next. Got the stickers applied at PSD. Get the final color, white, in August 💥

 

Not changing color on reel.

Received our Medallions today and both are white, what loyalty level is white? We are Platinum....

Excellent pictures! The one venue Mary & I are excited to try is Take Five.

Wow , that's a great cruise Mike . We may look into it . We have never been to Dominica and it's been a LONG time since we went to Grenada . We may have to dust off our old SCUBA gear !

  We did do Aruba and Curacao on the Grand Turk cruise on HAL in January . If you would like to see the full review , find it at :

 

 

 

I will read your Trip Report. Thanks for the link.

We usually do our reviews chronologically , but because you said the magic word . 🙂😉

There may be better  places and closer but we do like this place and it was in our tour route about 30 minutes from the port.

 

 

Local brew

 

 

Patty likes the sweet potato fries

 

 

But I prefer the local Macaroni Pie . This lunch with the carbs reminds us of a Hawaiian plate lunch .

 

 

 

Thank you so much! I appreciate the additional pictures! We are sailing a Back 2 Back on Enchanted Princess beginning March 20th.

We did want to go to the surfing beach and have flying fish for lunch so we booked a tour . We remember see other tours and taxis available before exiting the port but we had to meet our guide outside of the gate . No one asked us for proof of our tour but we had it and a copy of our passport and vax cards .

  For those who haven't been to Grand Turk we would like to share photos of our best lunch ever . We have always ate lunch at this place after SCUBA diving but our usual dive company was closed on New Years Day - so we just ate lunch and wanted to get away from the busy cruise port . 

 Conch fritters

 

 

Fried shrimp

 

 

The lobster was bigger than my wife's hands

 

 

 

There was only 1 other couple here . A video of the lunch spot and another lunch spot where people were snorkeling . The dark blue line on the horizon is where the sea drops to 6 thousand feet deep !

 

 

 

 

 

PLEASE tell us the name of the restaurant!
