You can cruise without booking a dining package. The main dining room and the buffet are both included in the price of the cruise. There are some new cruisers who don't realize this.

Thank you for the information. The annoucement made in March gave no indication of the use of a voucher. The annoucement was misleading.

The purchase of a bottle of wine for those who are Diamond or above is 40% off under $100 and 20%off over $100. Vouchers have nothing to do with the purchase. They are entirely separate. Just checked the website.

I have not seen any mention of using a diamond voucher to buy a bottle of wine.

Travel agents generally release cabins after final payment. Royal Up is for last minute cancellations and empty cabins never sold. Cruising this weekend. Only a couple of cabins available on out TA on Enchantment. Wouldn't be surprised if we sail full as the QM2 just cancelled it's TA for same day.

Plus tip.

We walked into town and took the local bus to the gardens. Did the reverse back.

Had lunch in a 5 star hotel in Antiqua, Guatemala. They boasted that Bill Clinton had eater there. There were four of us. One had fish and was OK, Two shared a local sausage delicacy with their meal. They were both violently sick for 2 days. I had something but did not taste the sausage delicacy and was fine. You can eat at any restaurant and get sick.

Suggest you look at the Seattle port boards.

I miss typed. Meant to say bad snails.

I got sick on escargot as well. Got a bed snail. I was fine the next day. These days, I thing the escargot on the ships just don't have enough enough garlic!

I have sailed both ships. Will be doing the Enchantment TA in just a few weeks. The Anthem is more in tune for indoor activity as it was designed for sailing in cooler temps. I don't like the Anthem. It is too big. I prefer smaller ships. Enchantment only has Chops and Chef's Table. It would be nice if it had another special restaurant. It is designed differently than other ships. The Windjammer is at the front of the ship. Solarium is further aft. Spa is totally aft. I can't say the Enchantment is my favorite ship but it is good. Planning to book a B2B2B for next fall on her.

Years ago, my BIL sent a new suit to be cleaned. (This wasn't on Royal.) They washed it! It was ruined. The crew cobbled together the cost of the suit to reimburse my BIL. If it had been reported to the higher ups, they would have lost their jobs.

You can also share the WIFI package you have. Use it one at a time rather than together. Another way is to use your free wifi noon to noon. Do that 4 times and you will cover 8 days.

My parents cruised. They had a cruise booked over Easter. I decided to join them last minute. DH promised me a cruise for our 25th anniversary. We have been cruising ever since.

What date is Bastille Day? I know it is in July. Perhaps your scheduled day was the national holiday?

Try www.ridesas.com. Have used it many times and is quite reasonable.

Bring the 16.9 oz bottles rather than the cans. That way you are bringing more and you can reseal the bottle. I've already bought ours for our TA at the end of April.

Roll call has been restored.

22 pages are lost. Another roll call has been set up but lots of info is gone.

Our roll call has disappeared. I have emailed for help from CC. In the meantime, our stop in Nice has been confirmed with one excursion posted on website. Email received today says we don't have to test before sailing.

I do not like the design on the Anthem. While it is a very pretty area with great views, I think it is poorly designed. The pools are very small. The hot tubs are divided into two parts each with a divider you have to climb over. More could use the hot tubs if they were larger without the wasted space caused by the divider.

Thanks for the review. Will be getting on the Enchantment 7 weeks from today for her TA.

Does anyone know what is happening to the EOS once it ends it's TA in Miami on Nov. 11? There is nothing on the schedule until 2 weeks later. Have not found any charter for it during that time. Have considered doing the TA and a following cruise but there doesn't seem to be one. Thanks for any info.
