I'm sorry this happened to you, but it looks like you STILL saved some money in the long run. This will be our first (8 of us) cruise on the Enchanted, as we did the Regal this February, and were really happy with it, and that is why we decided to do the Enchanted for our 10 day cruise. You mentioned about people in the dining room, and I can only say for the most part on the rEgal, which is similar to the Enchanted, we never noticed any people like the way you described. I think part of the issue on the ship was probably the children, "if???" the parents didn't have them under control. For us, whether a review is good or bad, we always try to go with a POSITIVE outlook on how the ship is, etc. and if something goes wrong, DEAL with it!

I had my FIRST taste of Gelato on the Regal in February of this year. I had heard about it, and I really like it. We had the best package, but when it came to eating all those sweets/deserts, it was just too much for me to eat, but they sure looked good. 🙂 Once again, thank you for your posting/pictures, as I wrote many notes down for our February cruise. It looks like you are getting ready to do NCL, and I have a feeling you folks are happy with it. Things may have CHANGED by now, but years ago, my friend and I took a "brand new" NCL ship, and not only us, but we never seen so many people UNHAPPY (even hearing people talking about it on our airline) on that ship, and for us, we decided to never do it again, unless it was FREE. 🙂

I love your picture of the swings in Belize, and I am 81 years old, but if "I" was there, I would be swinging right now. 🙂 Are the game shows held in a certain area, and if so, what is the name? As you can see, I am still trying to "catch up," and while doing this, I am making notes for myself to pass on to the other 7 that will be cruising with me in February.

I have not read any of the replies to your question here. I just know when we did the Regal in February, I ASK for robes once we met our room steward, and he brought them to us.

I have not read any of the postings on your question. I just wanted to let you know that for our Regal ship this February, I had a Princess PVP, and she was so good with our group of 8, I just used her for our next cruise on the Enchanted this coming February. When booking the 4 rooms, she just added on the Premier Package, OBC, etc. all in one price, for the 4 rooms. This way, instead of breaking everything down, she just put it in one ball figure, which made it so much easier to break down between the 4 couples.

Good to know. I just let the other 6 that are to goo with me this information, as I am trying to get as much info as I can on the Enchanted ship. 🙂

You mentioned the champagne waterfall. I had to go waaaaaaaaaaaay back through all my pictures, and found myself doing this champagne waterfall, 24 years ago, on another Princess ship. It was fun to do it this year, and I plan to do it again, hopefully in February. 🙂

I had already posted, but I just seen your picture from Day 2, at sea, so beautiful. I am enjoying your pictures as well. I mentioned, since we are to cruise in February, we are doing the 10 day southern cruise on the Enchanted, and I'm trying to pick up ALL tid bits of information I can get on this ship, to pass on to the rest of my family that is going with me.

I just happened to SEE the start of your review, and it may be over now, but I will continue reading until all the postings are done, even if I cannot read it all tonight. 🙂 We, 7 or 8 of us are planning on doing the Enchanted this February. We did the Regal in February of this year, doing the itinerary that you are doing, only we left from Galveston, TX.

This is good to know, although I really had NOT expected to get a double OBC, even if I was the only one in the room. Our cruise is in February, and I'm hoping I can get someone to go with me, even if I pay for the balcony room.

1025cruise, I agree I would never want to interrupt anyone that is sitting/eating at their table, no matter who, or what rank they were on the ship, as I know how I would feel as well. As stated earlier, they were not at their table as yet, but coming up close to our table, when I did this. Different ones have mentioned the musicians on the ship, and I am looking forward to seeing/hearing them as well. I have been in music all my life, and I enjoy LIVE music!

OK, thank you both for your info.

1025Cruise, thank you for your input. I'll be honest here as I am 81 years old and NO plastic surgery, although most people think I look/act younger. If I was in my 30 - 50 age, I was pretty shy/timid there in many ways, but eventually I broke out of that mode, and I have met so many wonderful people from all over the world on the many cruises I have done, and in fact, some of us are still friends. I guess what I'm saying and I understand you mentioning NOT bothering the Captain, etc., but when I seen him stopping at other tables, I just decided to ask, and that is how it happened. As I say, I'm an OLD LADY now, and if the co-captain had said he didn't have time, I would have been fine. If you seen the pictures that were taken (by MY phone), I don't think anyone in the group was in a hurry to eat, but just enjoy happy time in taking the pictures. Now I KNOW the co-captain and the captain did NOT have to ASK, but each of them ASK me to sit on THEIR lap which put me into shock, but it was a nice one, but just made the pictures even that much better.

Rustysunshine,thank you for your answer.

We have booked the 10 day (Bahamas, St. Thomas, Dominic, Martinique, St. Kitts,Antigua) Enchanted cruise in February next year. Will there be any tenders used to go to any of these ports, or we can just walk off the ship and get a Taxi, etc, or whatever?
