  1. I was invited last week but the time they assigned me was during our dinner at the Catch. In the invitation they mentioned showing up by 8:50 if we couldn't make the assigned time but I would have had to leave dinner with friends to make that. I went to talk to the hosts just before 7 and they had some machines just to the left of the entrance set up for the tournament. Unfortunately they already had the earliest times booked so I couldn't play. But the way it typically works is that the ones with the highest scores from the preliminary rounds play in the finals which would be sometime after 9. Winner takes all.
  2. We were just in R730 on the Enchanted last week and it was fabulous. It was a nice wide balcony (the ones on Aloha and Caribe are narrow but still nice). It was just down the hall from the suite concierge lounge which was convenient and the nightly happy hours there were a lot of fun. I wouldn't hesitate sailing in that cabin again, the aft cabins are fantastic.
  3. We also just disembarked the Enchanted two days ago. And we had the Premier package and were able to reserve our two comped specialty restaurants on the app in advance. But I think it was on the old app so I cannot comment about the new one. It did not ask for my credit card when I did it and have a $0 balance. I would definitely call if you want to get in at specific times. Unless you are in a full suite you cannot count on space being available (the suite concierge can work wonders for you). Although at times there may be tables available they may not have the staff to cover all of the tables so they may not allow them to be reserved. We ate 4 times at specialty restaurants all at 7 PM. Except for Sabatini's every table was filled at that time. If you can't make the reservations on the web version I would call to have them do it for you.
  4. Yes, here's the info we received last week on the Enchanted. We didn't use it but our friends did and they love this service
  5. Agree with you. But in the past if it's on the website it's a legitimate offer. I don't think I've ever seen a mistake this massive in the past and with the $0 / low cost flash sales it wasn't a far leap to assume that this was intentional. I routinely get casino offers that comp insides and occasionally I find other categories are comped too when I have searched for cruises. This one was a bit more generous than the usual offers but you just never know with Princess. Just ignore those who say that you should have known better. I know that you feel bad for sharing here but please don't. Cruise Critic is all about sharing info, the good and the bad. And this particular deal was shared elsewhere in social media as well. It does stink that it wasn't real but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes.
  6. No problem taking the CPAP in addition to the one published item. We keep our CPAPs in rolling backpacks. If we carry them on the bus we can always find an empty seat for them. But in our experience the bus drivers typically offer to open the chamber on the bottom of the bus for those and other larger bags that folks carry on. Your luggage travels separately so there is always a lot of room on the buses.
  7. Majestic has an indoor pool but Enchanted does not. It's been a couple of years since I was on the Majestic and the pool was supposed to be adults only but it wasn't being enforced. Others with more recent experience on the Majestic can probably help out here. If you do choose the Enchanted they have a nice Sanctuary and you can reserve chairs in there. The adult pool is just outside the Sanctuary and one deck down.
  8. Have a fantastic cruise! We just disembarked the Enchanted this morning after a very enjoyable week. Have fun, will be following along.
  9. We did a 9 AM flight this morning after disembarking the Enchanted (agree it was a lovely cruise by the way!). It actually didn't start out that way but with schedule changes our replacement flights back to Phoenix would get us back in the evening instead of mid afternoon. Armed with the info that the walk-offs start at 6:30 AM we made the switch to the earlier flight just before the cruise started. It helped that we were in a full suite AND that the suite concierge commandeered an elevator and took us right up to security to swipe our Medallions. But there were a few others ahead of us so it's doable without this little suite perk. There were no lines at the port elevators (which you must use if both of your hands are transporting luggage), we walked right up to the CBP facial recognition devices and there were no taxi lines either. Ditto at FLL - we sailed through check in and walked right up to TSA Precheck. So to summarize we walked off with our luggage at 6:30 and were through airport security around 7 well in advance of our flight. For a brief moment we thought of switching to the 8 AM flight to get home even earlier but we had good seats and didn't want to give them up. We have frequently had flights around 10 from FLL and just used the regular approach of having our luggage picked up the night before and picking it up in the terminal. FLL is so close that it's not difficult to do. The only fly in the ointment is if the ship is late getting back. That happened to us once but the delay was minimal and we were still able to make our flight. I have no doubt that you will be just fine with that flight.
  10. The concierge said go through them and you will have a much better chance of getting in.
  11. Yes they will. I am actually sitting in the concierge lounge enjoying happy hour right now and just asked to be sure. By the way Vladimir the suite experience manager will be onboard until October. He recommended that if you want to do that make your first stop after embarkation the suite concierge lounge to get your name on the list.
  12. I saw that but I think they also allow miles earned by using their branded credit card. I would not be surprised if other airlines followed suit although you never know.
