Sorry, but I can't ease your fears.. it's the height of spring break and a weekend. Hilton usually has several "events" and wedding going on during the weekend, so it would be hit or miss.

I'd look into pre purchasing your pass if this is your first choice.

 

As for Melia.. the grounds and beach are pretty big and can usually handle the crowds.. but again. No guarantee. The thing with Melia is that it's next door to the Wyndham, so you can always go there if there sold out.

 

Personally, I wouldn't want to be on a property that was sold out or restricted. Too crowded.

Wow! That was fast. Thanks!! So, I know I have the option with both of these to buy passes in advance, but it would stink to lose $ if it is raining. . . Any other suggestions?

Hi all,

Could anyone (i.e. Scubagirl :)) speak to the availability of passes mid-day? Our ship gets in around noon on a Saturday in March. We are 2 couples. I am a bit worried that the Hilton or Melia might be sold out. Any tips? Ease my fears? Alternatives? Thanks for any and all help.

We are doing "my time" for the first time on a 3 night Enchantment/ Bahamas cruise coming up. I made reservations for each night online, knowing that we can change them once on board. Looking forward to it, and I will be sure to report back.

Have your parents text you if they need to get a hold of you. They can contact you for free on AT&T via text message. When you receive a text, you can either respond with a text message for 50 cents, or call them for $1 a minute with the $30 AT&T plan.

 

Do not forget to turn of cellular data while on the ship. That can get very expensive!

Thanks for the tips! I think we will get the plan for $30- gives me 50 included messages, overages at $1 per minute. I LOVE that incoming texts are free and outgoing are only .50 or 1.30 for a pic/vid.

Looking for suggestions on the best bar(s) and bar tender(s) aboard Enchantment. Go!

You also can take a drink with you from a bar (or your room) to dinner.

Somewhat related, we are taking our first cruise since our daughter was born. (Well, she has been on 1 when she wasn't born yet.) We are testing the waters with a 3 night bahamas, so excited but also a bit nervous. We are going to use the ATT plan to be available to grandma and grandpa in case they need anything.

Hi all,

I will be headed on a 3 night Enchantment cruise in less than a month. I would have loved to purchase one of the alcoholic beverages packages this time around, but have read that the cruise must be 4 nights or longer. That is a bummer for me. That said, I am wondering if there are any ways to get discounted drinks outside of the package? I know one of these ways is the cooler of beer but does anyone have any other tips for a 3 night cruise? Thanks!

Another option is a 1 way car rental, we use that option and like it a lot.

Thanks everyone.

Thanks for trying!

Can anyone speak to taking a Yoga class aboard Enchantment, any RCCL ship or on the beach at CocoKey?

Geeeesh guys, be kind. From what I have been told the Att package through the ship also applies to Caribbean islands in port. Others may know more.

Awesome!!

The other benefit of using the AT&T Plan in the Caribbean is that any calls that you make while in port are covered by the plan so you get the same, discounted, rate for these calls, texts, data. (Note: If your cruise calls on Puerto Rico, St Thomas, or any of the other US Virgin Islands, your phone is considered to be "home" and calls are covered by your normal plan. the calls are not international!). Note, you must make at least one call, text, or something onboard prior to arriving at your first port to get these rates !

Thanks Steve! You addressed my point of concern in all this. We will be taking a 3 night Bahamas cruise on Enchantment and need to be reachable. Correct me if I am wrong, by buying this package we will be covered under it on board, in Nassau and CocoKey, as long as we make a call on board that first night? Thanks so much for your help.

Does anyone know the coupons for gold level?

Thanks for that info. Does the ship's signal shut off when docked in Nassau?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

Do you know if it "cellular at sea" at

CocoKey or not?

Sent from my iPhone using Forums

I am trying to wrap my head around how cell phone use works. We need to be available this time around and haven't used it before. From what I understand, the ship's service turns off in port and you can use the local signal. That said, does anyone know what happens at CocoKey?

I would also love to know how the AT&T package works. Thanks.

not a fridge, a cooler at best.

 

hair dryer should be in the drawer at the desk where the lighted makeup mirror is. I never use it as I have short thin air that can be towel dried in 30 seconds. some people with long or thick hair suggest it is not all that powerful.

Spookwife, would you mind also answer these:

Is there room under the bead to put suitcases?

What do they provide in terms of shampoo and soap?

How many outlets are avail?

Thanks so much.

Forgot to add = it was 30 per person for adults and 15 for child- It came to 82 for the three of us. You could pay more and have lunch included.

Thanks for that info!! Having such a hard time choosing between that and the Hilton. Out ship gets in at noon. Do you think we will have a problem getting passes during spring break that late in the day?

Ok, thanks guys! :)
