    Just check your TV in the morning all menus for that day will be displayed. We have never seen them in advance. If people post menus here be advised that they are subject to change 

    I've seen them in advance in the past. 

  2. I believe we did Red Stripe beach in Falmouth with our then 4 yo and a couple of years later something like with Blue Waters beach club. Wasn't all that blue, but good enough for a beach day.

     

    At Grand Cayman, I'd just go to the beach. That's what we did with our then 4 yo..

     

    We really liked the Blue Lagoon excursion in Nassau. I don't know if they have reopened, but I would definitely do that again if it's open and if it's offered.

    I would strongly suggest checking out the ports of call boards.

    Where can I access the menus before my cruise? We leave on the 14th.

    Thanks

    you may not be able to. MDR menus were available in the morning for that day only (Enchanted, June 2024). If you didn't take a screenshot that day or a photo of the menu in MDR/by MDR entrance, you would be out of luck.

    3 in a cabin 1 too many for me..cruise on. 

    he is quiet and doesn't need to use the bathroom all that often. 🙂 And he is smaller than me. And too young to be in a cabin by himself.

    And with X running a 3rd/4th person free promotion, it's a no brainer to have DS in the cabin with us. Imagine paying a single supplement for a child for his own cabin... Insanity!

    Hi there,

     

    Does anyone know what the balcony of M302 is like, please?

     

    Also, while I'm here, does anyone know what the cabin is like? I'm going with my husband and child, and worried about the sleeping space etc.

     

    If possible, see if you can book a deluxe balcony. It will have more space for the 3 of you, with a sofa bed for the kid instead of the upper bunk.

    If the kid loves uppers, we've previously been in a balcony cabin which had only 1 bunk. We really liked it.

    which ship?

    On Enchanted it appears to be a regular balcony cabin with 2 uppers which come out of the ceiling. It is directly underneath the last cabin on Lido, very close to the deck space.

    We are also hoping others will post updates on the hotel's condition or I will have to look for somewhere else to stay

    it wasn't awful-awful in April of this year. Not worth more than $150 during peak season, but I paid $160+tax when all the other hotels around were $289+, so I am not complaining.

    Surprisingly, it wasn't the worst hotel we stayed at.

    It was the first time out of 7 post covid cruises that we caught something.

    it's my poor husband's 3rd time (brought on by the cruise). All 3 of his covids were from cruising. Mine were also acquired on land.

     

    We wear masks on the plane, and he was sick before we got on the plane (June), so he wore a mask as soon as he started being symptomatic.

    That would be ok. Are there chairs and umbrellas though?  It seems I’ve read that they run out. 🤔

    it's a long stretch of beaches from where there are no hotels on the beach (Coco Loco beach bar) to where hotels are (Divi Phoenix across the butterfly farm). There are stretches with nothing available, totally wild.

     

    All the beaches are public.

    Palapas are first come, first serve.

    @Nikki483 I don’t have the information on the minimum age for the services, but here are a few prices for you. This is just an approximate price ,IMG_9433.thumb.jpeg.a2805b5124935168c372ce045359df16.jpegthey may have gone up since this photo was taken??

    wow, that's twice as much for the pedicure compared to our prices. 

    I always get my pedicure at a local salon 2 days before the cruise. We travel the day before the cruise, so I get my nails done the day before that. I do my own mani.

    12th April - 19th April 2025. We are having a family reunion and have children with us ranging from 5 to 19yrs. We booked as price was very reasonable and it’s only occurred to us now (as we are from Australia) that it may be a “spring break booze cruise”?!

    it is NOT.

    Booze cruises are 3-4 days long. 
    This is a family oriented 7 day spring break. We always sail with our kid during a spring break, although ours is usually the first week of April, and we sail in the Caribbean. Next year it's the 2nd week of April.

    This appears to be a West coast 7 day cruise, so not a booze cruise.

     I completely understand!! The first time in Uber for me and I was with one of my adult sons who handled it . ( he tried to explain as he was doing it 🤷‍♀️).  The next time my youngest son who has Down Syndrome was with me and I had to manage it on my own. When the driver arrived and confirmed everything, I let him know it was my first time using the Uber app and he was SO helpful and kind. I’m still not completely comfortable with it, but I have a successful trip under my belt now!

    same here, but it's my hubs. He uses Uber/Lyft all the time, and when we travel as a family it's a no brainer that he'd be the one ordering one. But I had to use it one time for myself (the car was at the dealership for a few days and I had to get home) - I managed. DH helped me set up the account and showed me how to use it. It is easier than an iphone. 🙂 We are Android people, and I still can't for the life of me figure out iphones. 🙂

    All I heard was everyone was over 55, which I disagreed with.

    I disagree as well. We spent spring break on Reflection this year - we were under 50 with a young teen. We all loved it, so I booked Beyond and Ascent for next year - I head the crowd is even younger.

    IF you go during a school break, you will encounter much younger people.

    Wow Every Princess ship is different.  I was just on Discovery for an Alaska cruise and would have loved lunch at O'Malley's but it only opened for dinner in the evening.

    I've just looked at the daily patters on our Enchanted cruise and O'Malleys was only open for lunch on the second sea day. So, once.

    I'm a big chicken, watch too many crime shows LOL. It's me and my sister, no spring chickens. All I can think of is some crazy person or a fake driver picking us up and taking us to the woods and murdering us. Nuts, I know ...

    you can choose a female driver as well. I think. When I was setting up my Lyft account, I could swear it asked whether I wanted to pick female drivers (since I am a female).
