We disembarked at San Pedro on Saturday about 9am. Got an Uber to our LAX hotel within 10 minutes, $28 +tip. Lots of people waiting in the Lyft/Uber area with plenty cars coming to pick people up. I did hear a couple of guys walk through the area asking if anyone needed a ride.

Thank you so much for the helpful info. I have plotted our points on a map. We don't mind some walking but good to know it's easy and cheap to get around. I have included the Liverpool store as part of our day 😉

Thank you for the very thorough review and all the wonderful pictures. I'm excited to read and see more. We sail in two weeks so it really helps.

Thank you! Yes, we will be using dollars. I'll be sure to agree a price before getting in. Glad you enjoy visiting Ireland ☘️

Hi, we have a port stop in Mazatlán in a few weeks. We are planning to walk the blue line to the historic centre, Casas de colores, Callejón Liverpool and the Malecon up to the cliff divers. I think this might be enough walking for us. How easy (or difficult) would it be to get a taxi back to port from this area? Would we be better to do it the other way around? Get a taxi from port to the Malecon and walk back visiting the attractions? Thank you!

Following excitedly, we sail Jan 20th. Thanks for the info regarding medallion collection lines, I think we might try arrive sooner that we were planning as we have no choice but to pick up medallions at port and I do like a main dining room lunch on embarkation day. Have a wonderful cruise!

We sail on Jan 20th. We received the email over 4 weeks ago, it said excursions would be updated within 2 weeks but still nothing. We were booked for a boat trip and beach getaway (something like that anyway) with Princess. I figured with the late arrival and time to tender etc, it would be a bit late for the beach even if they do update times so we changed our excursion to the sunset sail.

Thanks for a great review and posting menus and patters.

Glad to read you enjoyed the 360 dining experience, we did it recently on Enchanted and we were blown away. From start to finish everything was spectacular. Well done on your win!

Following 😀 Thanks for posting the events/patter and menus etc. We will be doing this route in January.

That is exactly what I ordered two weeks ago on Enchanted, delicious! The shrimp and avocado appetizer was the nicest thing I had all cruise, and we even did 360 dining.

We disembarked Enchanted last week and on sea days 9:30am - 10am they had a book swap session, I can't remember the venue. We were on Enchanted in June and don't recall the swap being on the patter but DD ran out of books (bookworm) so we called to Guest services to ask about a library section. They brought her to the far end of the desk and popped about ten books on the counter for her to choose from.

Some movies on Enchanted last week: Coco The Little Mermaid Fast X Gulliver's Travels Dog There was many more but I don't recall. Also some concerts, Harry Styles, Katy Perry etc.

I am glad you got to enjoy Rome after the weather calmed down. It sounds like you had a really good first day onboard (apart from medallion/battery issues). We did the Rome-Athens leg of this cruise a few weeks ago and loved every minute of it. I think you may be doing the same excursion today that we did; Sorrento for a couple of hours, a few stops for photos, shopping/toilet breaks, limoncello tasting and a wine tasting close to Mount Vesuvius. We really enjoyed it. We are back for the Barcelona-Rome leg next month so will be interested to see how you enjoy your cruise, thank you for reporting back here 🙂

We sailed a few weeks ago, booked premier oct/nov '22 and final payment March '23. We were well aware of the changes early '23 and did think about upgrading to the 'new' package but decided the cost of an odd sundae, medallion accessory etc onboard would be cheaper than the upgrade price so didn't bother. When we were onboard, we didn't like the look of the sundaes so we didn't have any (the cones on top deck were delicious though), bought 1 accessory for $12, knew we weren't going to any classes 😆 We certainly didn't feel hard done by. I think perhaps your agent didn't explain the packages properly to you, new/old/upgrades or maybe they weren't fully aware.
