I had a look at the website today and saw that there are two separate links for the deck plan for the Enchanted Princess, one for cruises before April 6 and on for cruised after April 6.  I cannot see any difference in the public areas except that 360 is labeled in Sabatini's on version 2.  I'd been hoping the rumor that they would be adding a Vines was true.

Enchanted scheduled for dry dock in April 2023 or April 2024?

2023…..right after the 14 night TA and 6 night cruise in March.

Thanks.  Nice to know it is not for 2024. I booked Enchanted 20 days cruise from 3/17/24-4/6/24, and hoping 4/6/24 Enchanted will be doing the TA so I can book it as b2b to my 20 days.  As of now, still not seeing Enchanted's schedule from 4/6/24 forward.

Interesting that the Bistro is still there.  It has been reported by passengers who have talked to officers recently that Crooners will take over that spot.  But both deck plans still show the Bistro on deck 7.

I’d heard that Vines would be taking Bistro’s space. I am disappointed.

Hmm…it can’t be too extensive of a dry dock since the Enchanted is scheduled to sail out of Barcelona on April 15th.  We will be boarding her in Rome on April 22.

It’s between March 29 and April 15

I believe that Crooners taking over the Bistro is what was reported to be happening on the Sky.  Enchanted already has Crooners.  It was reported that Vines was replacing the Gastro Pub, which to me makes sense due to it being empty all the time.

Yes, the April 2023 drydock is only a 2 week drydock in Marseille and probably just a cosmetic drydock for the most.

 

Looks like the April 2024 may be more extensive.

 

 

According to staff officers while we were on the EX a couple of weeks ago, most of the work is warranty maintenance and a couple of venue changes.  The Bistro is going away.

According to the website the deck changes are April 2024

There is a dry dock scheduled for this year as well as 2024, but you are completely right - the deck plan  update is for 2024. There’s no indication of any of the changes we are all hearing about.

You are right, I was thinking of the wrong ship. Sorry about that.

That is too bad.  I really hoping to continue with the Enchanted TA after my 20 days on her for the Caribbean (ending 4/6).

I know, right?  I’m always looking to add on one end of my cruises.  Seems to happen a lot to me. 😳

I read that the casino will be expanded.  But have not heard what other changes are happening 

My experience on the Enchanted is limited but the casino was ridiculously crowded when I have been in it. An expansion might be a great idea

Maybe they'll fix the lack of decent ventilation in thr Enchanted casino.
