Host CJSKIDS

I came back on board to this absolutely beautiful bouquet, fruit and a lovely note from one the officers. Unrelated to the floord by the way. 
to say I was touched, doesn't begin to describe it. 
 

I am so very thankful to them and will always remember the kindness given to me. 
 

The only sad part is that I can't take it off the ship with me.

WOW! That is a lot of B2Bers. 

It was the same last week they said. I do know this was also sold as a 14 day so perhaps that's the reason 

There will be 400 staying on board for the next sailing. 

Very hard to believe this is our last day. But ok spending it in my little slide of Heaven so life is very good today. 
 

Today's cooking demonstration between Nicola Furlan and the head chef was very funny. They play off each other so well. Nicola is a funny guy!  The kitchen tour followed and that was enjoyable. We had some crew members singing and playing a guitar.

Thanks so much for this live report!  Sailing 14 days on Enchanted in July with my best friend.  Curious if you have ordered or seen others order a double of anything & how they counted that.  For example, I've never been satisfied with only one measly measure of Bailey's on the rocks and am fully planning to order doubles every time.  😁  But I could see them not wanting to count a double as only one drink because of the pricier whiskeys and wines they offer.  And while I don't imagine I could ever actually consume 15 drinks in a 24-hour period without becoming really ill (especially the set cocktail list I'm planning to enjoy, many of which do contain more than a 1-1.5 ounce shot in them), if they are counting what you're describing as 3, or even a substitution of a different type of liquor like one person mentioned later (which I would definitely ask to speak to the bar manager about, because that's extra-illogical), then I might have to start counting drinks on sea days, which is kind of annoying... though not anything to get overly worried about.  I'm just curious, and grateful to know that I should ask the bartender first (and maybe check my drink count) whenever I might want to do anything "unusual" like this (if one can call an Irish Car Bomb unusual 🙄).

 

Anyway, many thanks again!! 

 I have been ordering a double crown royal on the rocks which a can of ginger ale.  The double has been two drinks.

Curious how early you've had to go to get a table in O'Malley's for the music.  You didn't mention it so maybe it hasn't been that bad on your sailing.  I've heard some reports of needing to get there even earlier than the Princess Live shows if you want to sit down, like 30-45 minutes early... 

 

We had to go 30-40 minutes prior to get a table as there isn't that many of them. They got so popular that later in the sailing they were placing a sign that said wait to be seated. 

There was one get together on this sailing of The Enchanted this week.  It will be in the patter.

Yea, i get that, but even on the lower decks in around the elevators its hot.  Ive heard several comments about the elevators not being air conditioned but i dont know if thats true.

Been a wonderful trip for us, but that would be one ding i give them on my review when i get back.  Elevators are hot and crowded.  They also seem smaller than other ships we have been on.  

they are the same size as the sky, people are just crowding on them and not showing elevator etiquette at all. 
 

there are some warmer areas but I have found that on every ship on the higher floors. I just try and get through those areas quickly.

Glad that you are back to having a great cruise!!!  (or it seems so)

We all hope that you are having a great time!

 

I am glad to hear that the odds are in our favor when docking STT...  We have a port side room booked, with a larger balcony for dining!

 

Thank you, I am back to having a great time. 

Hope you get the view you are hoping for.

We would be heading to a beach, and not hanging out around Charlotte Amalie...Does anyone think they could make a bushwhacker on the ship????  Wishful thinking!

 

Ohhh,  also just curious...  Did the ship pull in or back in???  Which side is overlooking the harbor.   Hoping that she pulls in and PORT is overlooking the harbor...  But, I am quite sure the Captain would be oblivious to my request!!!  Hahaha!

I am in an even numbered cabin and had a beautiful view of boats. I didn't watch them pull in. 
 

i will ask and see if anyone can make that 

I finally found my Caymus by the glass! You can order it from the sommelier at Crown Grill. 
just signed up for the Italian wine tasting tomorrow. 

It was a beautiful day weather wise in St. Thomas.  Stopped in at Glady's cafe which is our custom to have lunch and buy her hot sauces.  Didn't know they have moved a bit due to a fire so they now have a larger space. Lunch was delicious.  

Enjoyed a Bushwacker before lunch which I can't believe I had never had one before.  Very enjoyable as well as very rich.  

Dinner tonight it in Sabitinis which I am looking forward to. 

Beautiful pictures. Looks like another amazing cruise!

That's the right attitude!  Wishing you a wonderful day today and several more to follow.

Thank you!!! ❤️

Looks like sailawy is delayed as there is an ambulance. Hopefully whoever is getting on that will be okay

Thanks for the live review and information. 
You’re a sport about the room mishap. 
 

For those of us sailing Enchanted in the near future, mind telling us what room you had? 

I was on the verge of tears yesterday out of frustration and having to pack the room up last night but today is another day. 
 

The room is being worked on and will have brand new carpeting and they have time to get it up and running before the next cruise. I don't want to say the number in case someone has it and it just leads to stress for them pre cruise. 

All settled in and had a wonderful breakfast this morning with perfectly cooked eggs Benedict. Got to spend a few minutes chatting with Nicola Furlon, the  DRO. What an incredibly nice man. 
 

Today is a new day and I'm ready to get back to enjoying my cruise!!

Did they give you a new room?  Ship seems full so im curious if they had one available.

Yea, they had a cabin to move us to. They must hold a few cabins aside for this type of thing. 
 

The saving grace of tonight has been Kerrie and Erin!  Nothing like making great friends on board who live in your town. 
they rock!

Tonight has not been a good experience... at all. Ugh. 

Well our cabin isn't going to work. So guess I have to go and move my things.
