We are currently on the Enchanted Princess. We had a lengthy conversation with the Future Cruise Manager onboard. In her "opinion," the 50% discounts were discontinued because ships are now sailing full or near to capacity. So, no need to discount fares. 🤷‍♂️

Good Morning Ajaccio, Corsica!

It amazes us how many sea days folks have on the TA's!

Tonight's extra dish in the Reserve Collection Dining Room was Veal Cannelloni. They had one of my favorite dishes tonight, Szechuan Shrimp. I mentioned how much I liked it and they brought me a "Hungry Man" portion! It was delicious and I finished the whole thing! Btw, no dessert tonight.

I just ran into the Loyalty & Events Host, the cut-off for the MTG Luncheon was 1,045 sea days for this voyage.

So glad you had a good experience! We waited 10 minutes for a trio that strolled to the bus.

Currently on the Enchanted in the Med. The below numbers have been consistent throughout our cruise.

Very easy relaxing day today in Livorno. We had breakfast and then Debbie did laundry while I went to the Fitness Center. I had a reservation with an elliptical machine! We then took the ship's shuttle into town and walked around. I ran into Nicola while Debbie was deep into her "craft." Notice the husband's waiting in the designated "Husband Waiting Area" Last I saw of Debbie she was going into H&M. I returned to the ship and went immediately to the International Cafe for lunch!

Good morning Livorno!

Today we took a shuttle bus from the cruise terminal right to the train station, 6€ pp. This is the first time we have seen this offered. We usually take the free ship shuttle to the port entrance and then walk to the train station. For as many times that we have been to Rome, it is still a very special place. We walked, we shopped, we had lunch, and took the train back home. They were putting up a Christmas tree in St. Peter's Square.

Good morning Civitavecchia!

I forgot to post it last night. Hope to meet you onboard. 🙂

I'm killing time before we leave for the train station, for Roma.

We no longer go to shows or games. We have danced a few times to the band in the Piazza, they are quite good. There is also a very good acoustic guitarist/singer onboard.

Tonight we dined at "The Catch" for our second time. It did not dissapoint. We each had the Salad Nicoise with Seared Tuna. It was delicious and huge. The presentation gets an A+! Our second course was Steamed Mussels in a White Wine and Cream Sauce. Wow! They were fantastic and the sauce was spectacular. For our main course, we repeated the same dish we had on our first visit, Grilled Swordfish with a Cauliflower and Mustard Puree. As good as it was on our previous visit, we skipped dessert. And for @c-boy, this was accompanied by a Silverado Cabernet Sauvignon.

Today we had an amazing journey below the city of Naples. Debbie didn't know how much exercise she was going to get! 2,800 years ago, the Greeks started an underground aqueduct from a river on Mt Vesuvius to the city. The aqueduct was eventually finished by the Romans. During WWII, a majority of the city took refuge in the empty aqueduct for six months to escape the allied bombings. We climbed 82 feet down a narrow stone staircase to reach the aqueduct. There are many shafts in the ceilings that were used to reach the water from above. Toilet stalls built during WWII Well opening in the ceiling Climbing through the empty caverns reminded us of climbing inside the Great Pyramids in Egypt many years ago. And, Debbie was not too happy for the climb back up to street level. To regain our strength, we indulged in pizza and vino!

Good morning Naples! It rained overnight, but Captain just said no rain for today. You can see Mt. Vesuvius in the second photo.

In 2024, we board the Majestic on Dec 1st, in LA, for 50 days. See you onboard!
