Crusin Karen

^^^thank you! I live in NE NJ so I don’t have to worry about hotels and airlines! 👍👏🤗

One more question! I promise! 🤞I’m deaf so can’t call but I tried Google and live chat with no success. The amount I paid for cruise-does that include port fees/taxes or just cruise fare? TIA!

I know someone who’s on Enchanted now. They had escargot last night. Forgot to ask which restaurant! Maybe for 💖 day?

Thank you everyone. My DH had always gotten the CCL coverage. Everyone says that’s the WRONG route so that’s why I’m asking advice. 👍

Lol!!! You did not hear the “don’t you dare put that stuff on me” warning?!?

Good to know! Thanks. I’m one of those “if my hair ain’t happy I ain’t happy” women so I’ll go prepared! 👍

Hey Sid you can do what jamman and Patti do. Take some pictures, keep a little notebook with you so you can write down thoughts and events each day then write a review when you get home.

Ok I went back in my cc statements and figured it out. One more question: I have cruises booked on CCL 3/25-4/5 and 5/6-5/17 and Princess 9/14 Should I purchase separately or all together? I’ve heard there’s an “annual” plan. I also have 5/25/25 but that’s over a year out. I’m looking at insure my trip.com. TIA.

No because I booked 4. No idea when each was! And 2 that I’m looking for insurance for are paid up so invoice just says it’s paid in full. But thank you both for your replies.

Since this post is still “active”: does enchanted have shampoo or conditioner in the shower? TIA

I have no idea how to figure out if I should get $50,000, $100,000 etc medical coverage. Can anyone give me some advice? It also asks what date you booked cruise (first payment date) I have no clue! Does this really matter? TIA

Thank you both! I understand Now. One more question (I’m sure that’s not going to prove true!) on CCL every morning they’d post the MDR dinner menu for that night on the app. Does Princess do this? So can determine what days to go to alternative restaurants? And is the dinner buffet usually the same as MDR offerings? (That’s 2 questions. I warned you!) TIA

Following! I don’t understand the 2 free casual meals. (I have plus package) a lot of people have recommended Gigi’s. I googled what are the free places to eat-Gigi’s was listed as extra cost. (?)

Peanut butter Mayo and bacon on white toast. My mom made us this on special occasions. It is delicious!

Lol years and years and years ago we put a small box of wine in checked luggage. They found it. I got the naughty letter in my suitcase. Few days later we did a galley tour. My box of wine was sitting right on a shelf. Dh had to put his hands over my mouth as I wanted to shout THATS MY WINE. And tie my hands behind my back to not claim it. End of smuggling days! 🥴🤯

I remember back in the day they’d take the cans out of our soda cartons to make sure it WAS soda and not beer! Haven’t had that in a long time.

Jimbo, I just read this start to finish. Amazing cruise and gorgeous pictures. I’m a sunset snob and yours sure are perfect! Glad I found this because like you, I’m a CCL cruiser (see my sig) and just booked Enchanted Princess out of Red Hook. That’s out of my comfort zone too. I’m used to CCL. But it’s exciting trying something new. Thanks for sharing your incredible journey! 👏👍

I’ve never heard of wine check in table. I cruise on CCL out of Manhattan. They just put my carry on thru the X-ray machine.

And jamman (and your faithful followers and adoring public and the rest of the Tribe!) sorry for the highjack of my silly plans. I was goung to add celebration looks like a great ship. Maybe y’all can do a reunion cruise next year and I’ll join you! 👍👏 Happy Super Bowl Sunday fellow cruise addicts! 🏈🍻

My Moms dad was from Quebec. They had a camp there where I spent summers growing up and I took French in school grades 7-12! So I’m basically fluent in both English and French. We have been to SJ many times and I know it’s bilingual also. French is a bit harder with feminine and masculine nouns but if we ever cruise together I’d be happy to tutor you! 🤗

I love this! 💖💝💓💗💞💕

But one would fit at that table! I am a solo cruiser and prefer to eat my dinners that way.

Don’t know how to get the app. When I cruise CCL I go to guest services right away and they hook me up!!!

Checking in! Thanks for sharing the memories with your boys. I love love OSJ. Would love to move there for the winter but I can speak French but not Spanish and you can’t teach old dogs….I did a thing. If you remember Jeanie and Rick and Joanne from old c@. I keep in touch. Joanne has sailed twice and the greens are now on Enchanted Princess. Doing a “live” on another SM site. She looks beautiful so I booked Red Hook to NE/Canada 9/14. It will be a step down being a newbie vs tough stuff Diamond but I’m excited. I have 5 cruises on Venezia so I’m ready for something new! Y’all enjoy the game tomorrow. I’m rooting for KC but I’m surrounded by 49’er fans! 🥴🫣

I wonder if I can say it’s for my cruise companion who’s arriving separately. I’m not trying to break the rules, but I AM paying double fare just for myself.
