Did u gamble a lot during this cruise? Seems like prime was a good tier to start out with!

I have been a member of Casino Royale for at least 10 years since I was "asked". I do play a lot, but I wouldn't call myself a big spender lol.

I just returned from Enchantment cruise today, and I hadn't cruised since 8/16. I had a letter in my stateroom stating I was prime. Went to casino and they put a sticker on my card for drinks. There was a certificate on my door this morning for 500 off a cruise which must be booked within 30 days and sail before one year.

No, you are out of luck on that :(

I don’t recall then working on the weekends?

I talked to them last Sunday about my cruise. I think they are open weekends now.

Make sure you go to the casino when it opens and meet the casino host, and ask them for the sticker for your seapass if it's not on there when you get it.

I say any cruise is better than " no cruise". We live in Florida so it's easy for us to get away, although we have slacked the last several years in the cruise department.

I am so looking forward to 3 days on a ship :D

Bring your own. I have made the mistake a few times of not bringing my own, and I regretted it each time.

Make sure the recipient calls and verifies it before they sail. I was given a gift of OBC once, redeemed it online and applied it to my booking. I called a few days later to make sure it was posted and it wasn't. I was able to get it corrected on the phone.

My husband had flowers in our GS once..and it was very nice to have them the entire week :)

Typically in our GS's there have always been a small fruit tray..so you might get something different ? or nicer then just plain fruit ?? :)

The flowers he ordered were very nice and last the entire cruise !

When I do a cash account, I also tend to go to guest services to "cash out " any balance a good day before the cruise is over to avoid lines. I always secure my seapass with a credit card , then add the cash on day one. That way when I cash out before the big lines....the credit card is there in case I have any last day charges.

It has always worked well for me that way..and I avoid the long lines on the last day.

I can confirm he was on Enchantment for the 8/12 sailing. His sign was up poolside and he was busy at work !

Rode the elevator with him once and said hello. Very nice man.

With the kids that small, balcony ! Save the two rooms for when you REALLY need two bathrooms ;)

I feel like the drink packages have changed things, and some ships have let the bar service slide somewhat.

My husband said the same thing. He feels maybe the packages are making them more money and by decreasing wait staff, it's a double win for them.

Just got back from a 3 day cruise on Enchantment. The ship is definitely in need of a refurbish, but it was very clean and tidy everywhere. Staff everywhere were very friendly.

We never ate in the dining room, but we did have dining room service in our cabin one night and it was great. We did eat at Chops two nights and we found the food not to be as good as I remember in previous cruises. There was a definite lack of wait staff. On one of the nights, our sides were not even warm when served. The waitress did replace them no problem at all.

We also found that getting a drink anywhere on the ship was a challenge. The lines at the bars were always 4 deep , even in the casino bar. Never saw one wait staff by the pool taking drink orders. Previous cruises they were everywhere. Not sure what is up with that. You would think on a " 3 day get away cruise" they would be pushing the drinks big time.

We got a great deal on an owners suite and our attendant was awesome. We had cabin 8022 , and I would not recommend this cabin to anyone as it is below the windjammer, and the noise from the carts rolling on the floor above us began at 0430 and didn't stop all day. Came home pretty exhausted from this cruise !

Don't get me wrong, any cruise is a good cruise, but I just found some of the "normal " service you expect from RCI lacking on this trip.

Curious if RCI have cut back on wait staff fleet wide?

How much are cabanas going for these days there? I looked online but don't see an option to book it.

We are in a suite and no email from concierge....does anyone have the email address for the Enchantment concierge?

Thanks :)

Thank you very much :)

A friend of mine is cruising on Dream this Friday. They are first time cruisers. I am not familiar with Disney cruises and they were wondering what dining options are available when you first board.

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks :)

We were in JS on the Navigator in December and had a rock hard mattress. Absolutely no give to it. It was like sleeping on a piece of wood. There is firm and then there is unyielding. Totally unnecessary choice. Someone in purchasing made a bad call.

I completely agree ! There is a difference between firm and HARD. I hurt so bad and slept so poorly after my last cruise I was run down seriously when we got home. Never had that happen before and I cruise a lot.

Make sure your friend calls and makes sure it's applied to their reservation.

We just had a gift given to us, and I redeemed it as instructed, and 3 days before the cruise I called just to check on it..and it wasn't posted.

They got it corrected in time, but always good to check.

I received my answer today also from special needs.

Not quite as promising as the above replies.. Nothing about the promise of a topper.

 

Good Day.

 

Thank you for contacting us. Your reservation has been noted and the ship will be advised.

 

Best Regards,

Access Staff Diana

We are just off IOS. The mattress in the JS was terrible. We complained and they brought a "new" mattress with an egg crate. It was terrible as well. RCI needs to address this . We slept horrible the entire cruise.

Just got off her today, and you will have a great time. The staff and service were great.

We don't do shows so can't answer on that except for the Ice show which was very good !

Have a great cruise !

That is good to know.

Thanks !

Thanks for the live review, can't wait to get on her next week !

I am curious if you are using the ships wifi for all your posting or your own personal cell plan. How is the speed of the ship's wifi on your phone if you are using that?

Thanks,

Sue

Enjoying your review so far. I would appreciate pictures of the main dining room menus on the 5 day leg of your cruise. Looks like you are having a great time !
