"LIVE" from Enchantment of the Seas- Bermuda / Aug 3, 2012

[cruiseturbo]

As usual, Radio, I am loving your live reporting! We will be in Bermuda in Sept for the first time and your report is getting me thru until then!

 

Interested to hear what they discussed at the Bermuda Port talk. Normally these are about shopping however I have heard that Bermuda doesn't have the shopping like the caribbean ports so what did they talk about? Did they talk about how to get around the island and what sites to see? Any information you can give would be appreciated! Thank you!

What night is formal night? Are the new menus out? Sailing at the end of the month. Thanks. Jan

Hello everyone. . . I am posting “LIVE” from the Viking Crown Lounge up on Deck 11. I thought I was ready to come and make my nightly post, but it bothered me that I seemed to have left the memory card for my camera back in my cabin. . . @#$%&

 

Oh well. . .it was a good workout to run back down to Deck 7 FWD. Today started out to be questionable, but turned out to be a very pleasant day. It was fun and relaxing.(and very hot) I haven’t used the pool yet, but I may take a swim tomorrow in Bermuda. . .Wow ! Tomorrow is Bermuda day. . . I have a lot to do.

 

I skipped formal dinner tonight as my oldest daughter and hubby went to Chops and my youngest daughter and her hubby took care of the baby. . .I joined in for support and we went to the Windjammer. The Sushi, Cucumber Salad, and Bratwurst was very good. I will still try to stay up for the “Finish That Lyric” Game show. . .I should be able to stay up as I watched the news this afternoon for a couple of hours. . . I was very tired.

 

Here are a few pics of this afternoon. . .I will be back early tomorrow in the VCL and I will remember to bring memory cards (and make sure the laptop battery is charged @#$%&)

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for the nice comments. . .

All of the lounge chairs were filled

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The water out here is very blue. . .I loved it

Hello everyone. . .Good Morning. Welcome to DAY 3 of “LIVE” from Enchantment of the Seas. we had to move our clocks forward last night so we will be on “Ships time” for Bermuda. We are actually in the Atlantic Time Zone, and we will be in this zone until Tuesday evening.

 

 

I went to the “Finish that Lyric” game show last night and it was a lot of fun. Some very brave passengers (6) listened to a 10 second clip of a popular song and had to sing the next verse. . .it was hilarious. It was hosted by Katrina Blair (Mrs. CD)I recommend this show for laughs and fun.

 

I was going next to the Orpheum Theater to try to see a few minutes “Cant Stop the Rock”, a movie tunes tribute show. . . Casino Royale was in the way, and I had to stop for a few minutes to see how lady luck would treat me. She was very nice. . . Cant stop the Rock was a good show, but I think that the 2nd production show was better (if I remember) I will try to see the 2nd show on Tuesday night.

 

As I walk around the ship today, I really love the beautiful views of this ship, and I am really looking forward to sailing on Enchantment of the Seas in January 2013. In December she will go into a 3 week drydock to add many improvements as part of the Royal Advantages refurbishment program. The details on those upgrade have been advertised here on Cruise Critic, and at Royal Caribbean.

 

We have less than 100nm to go before we arrive in Bermuda at 3PM. We should be able to see land by around noon. The forecast is for sunny skies and temps in the mid 80’s for our arrival. Today might be a good day to just hang around the Dockyard and see what I can see. . .

 

 

Here are a few pics from last night and this morning. . .

 

 

Thanks for tuning in.

As always, your pictures take me to a very happy place. Love them all!

 

I love cruising to Bermuda and actually having a few days there, it's a little bit of heaven on earth. Have a super day in Bermuda! :)

[Mygrubb]

Lucky you! We are north of you in Galena. Can't quite see her from here but I almost always break my neck looking for her everytime I cross the Bay Bridge.

 

LOL! Everyone does...ever been on the bridge when she's sailing under it? Traffic stops completely! I never get tired of the sight though! :)

 

Radio - great pics! I love seeing the pool deck so empty...I am determined to get up early enough to see it that empty next time!

[megr1125]

Haha..the royal wifi screen of death...or the.go-make-a-new-user i.d......

 

Really looks like a gorgeous day in store....love the sunrise...:p

 

Cant wait to see what DGS thinks of Bermuda.....

Hi Radio,

May I add my voice to the many that say thank you for your efforts. I have not cruised in a bit and I'm starting to get back into the cruise mode. So reading your review and even more seeing and feeling your pictures is a wonderful thing so thanks for all the effort and keep posting those pictures and have a fabulous time. I cannot wait to get back out there but watching your sunrise pictures is close enough for now.

 

:-)
