Cruiser 1998 Posted February 27, 2012 #676 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Me thinks you misread the meaning of "since we'll be cruising for six days". It is a twelve night cruise - meaning thirteen days. The first and last day in in Baltimore, leaving eleven days. We will visit five ports (instead of six) leaving six days at sea, or six days of cruising. OK, thanks... that's what I meant... we'll be cruising for six days & the rest on land. Cruise fever is getting worse!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted February 27, 2012 #677 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You're late to the party:rolleyes: Some of us have been posting for days. Hence, that is how I KNEW what the moderators had said/done.:D My post about speculation had to do with all the wild guesses about what is wrong with the ship, what it will take to repair it, and how long it will take. We seem to have a lot of armchair engineers here. And comming from an extensive mechanical background, many of them are quite rediculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We seem to have a lot of armchair engineers here. And comming from an extensive mechanical background, many of them are quite rediculous. Why do you care? Quit overthinking it. A lot of posters here have extensive engineering backgrounds and several have years of US naval service. You don't know either so why bother talking down to everyone? Not to mention no one has said they know what's wrong. Most of us are hoping it's repaired so everyone can enjoy their cruise and not wonder about their vacation time. For some reason you felt a need to come here and impart your "wisdom". My comment was that you questioned how I knew about the mods telling us all to post here. You got the explanation.

Pumbaamd Posted February 27, 2012 #679 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Looks like CCL Pride and EN will pass each other very shortly just west of Smith Island in the Bay. They are currently 9 nm apart and closing. Rick and Deirdra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpeCerevisi Posted February 27, 2012 #682 Share Posted February 27, 2012 All I can say is that despite everythIng (and maybe because) I had a great time the last nine days. A lot of this is due to the great crew of the Enchantment of the Seas. To everyone one the next sailing and all future sailings, bon voyage.

Pumbaamd Posted February 27, 2012 #684 Share Posted February 27, 2012 AIS showing EN 6 1/2 hours from Baltimore. Currently now passing CCL Pride just SW of Smith Island. Hoping all on board have had a great cruise, and those boarding tomorrow . . . have a WONDERFUL cruise. We had an outstanding B2B on EN a few years back. Have FUN!!!'

stevensoap Posted February 27, 2012 #686 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I just sent messages to all of the Washington DC TV stations. I don't get Baltimore news down here in southern Maryland so the tip lines weren't handy. Hopefully at least one of them will show up to get the "real story" from all of the sea-sick, starving passengers (if those folks can stop cheering and laughing long enough) I sent the stations a link to the story that was on Baltimore chan 45 news last week so they can see what was said.

cruzette Posted February 27, 2012 #688 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I've been watching since 3:15am and as of 4am (the time She normally passes by) the Enchantment is MIA. Gotta leave for work...everyone keep their fingers/toes crossed that she arrives safely and those boarding today have a marvelous trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinnamon Posted February 27, 2012 #689 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Have now caught up with this thread and am so looking forward to hearing the OP's review of his cruise. I loved his enthusiasm of a first visit to the USA as well as the ship. As a Brit who needs a long haul flight anyway, I would never fancy going to the Caribbean from the NE in winter. Oh wait, hang on a minute. I am on Jewel out of Boston in late October, Repo to Tampa. Mmm. 3 cold sea days. ;) Hoping the weather is kind this year. Good'onya OP. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

beachnative Posted February 27, 2012 #691 Share Posted February 27, 2012 TO EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD Before I board the ship today, I WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO POSTED ON THIS THREAD BECAUSE YOU HELPED US LIVE THE PAST WEEK WITH FAR LESS STRESS THAN WE WOULD HAVE WITHOUT YOUR INPUT.

Ill try and catch up tomorrow and give you my insight into what was a very unsuspecting cruise. Take care all, Pr1vate Piles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zambien Posted February 27, 2012 #697 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Not sure if anyone posted this yet but we were hitting speeds of close to 19 knots on the way to Nassau. So yes Enchantment can't break 20 but it can get pretty close. To all going out today, enjoy your cruise! My wife and I will never forget this one... it was our first cruise ever and definitely not our last with RCI! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I will never forget this one... it was our first cruise ever and definitely not our last with RCI! Many of us were watching Marinetraffic and saw the speeds of the ship. So glad to hear that you found the positive side of cruising and plan to go again with RCI! Your next cruise will lack some of the excitement but is guaranteed to be enjoyable.
