Below is a link to the August 10th Enchanted Roll Call, there is no August 14th cruise.

Debbie has found a new afternoon pastime and a new favorite game. For the past three days at 2 pm, she has been meeting with a group of fellow passengers we met at Vines, at the Double Down Lounge to play Left-Right-Center, a dice game. 🎲 There have been 8 to 12 players. I watched the first day. But since I don't play well with others, I have been retreating to our cabin for some quiet reading time! 🤪

We just had "Ocean Terrace" sushi lunch at The Catch (sushi available at lunch only on sea days) with our new Aussie friends. Great meal and had a super time! All four of us had the set menu. It was delicious and plentiful.

What is the app you are using for the ship tracking? CruiseMapper.com Great idea with the calendar. We are doing the 2025 TA and first time we have a lot of sea days. That will be a tracking method. I always make a calendar at home, it is a very easy reference as to where we are and when we will be there!

Oh noooooo! 🥺

We did on a previous cruise. We were not impressed. It was like going to a Panda Express. But, we know folks that loved it. 🤷‍♂️

Looks like we might have some rain in Papeete.

We avoid dealing directly with Princess by using a FANTASTIC Travel Agent. She deals with any and all issues that may arise. Much less stress for us at the same cost.

Good morning Sea Day #4! Looks like we finally made it to warm Island weather! Pools should be busy today!

Thanks for the reminder! I made the Moorea change on our cabins wall calendar but forgot to change Honolulu.

We have been to Papeete at least 6 times. The best day we had there was when we rented a car and drove around the island. We found several nice beaches. A couple of times we took the ferry to Moorea for a beach day. On this trip, we are going black pearl shopping with a senior staff officer. He has enlisted Debbie as his negotiator. Her specialty! No plans for our second day? 🤷‍♂️

Yes, we really do enjoy The Catch. On our recent Med/TA on the Enchanted we dined there 5 times! We have liked all that we have tried, usually the Catch of the Day is a favorite. So is the Dover Sole and the Crab Cakes, and the garlic fries!

The extra dish tonight in the Reserve Dining Room was grilled lamb Chops. Tomorrow night we are returning to The Catch!

Yes, we will be in Honolulu on May 1st. Then it will be 6 sea days to Vancouver.

Today was Pub Lunch in the dining room. Our Asst. Restaurant Manager was making Shrimp all' Arrabbiata in the dining room. It was great! Debbie had the Fish & Chips I had the Vegetable Biryani Not having a Sanctuary is killing my daily calorie intake! But, I did spend an hour on the elliptical machine.

The streaming on the stateroom TV has worked great. This is the first time I've used our Universal remote ($9 on Amazon) to change the input to HDMI. So much easier than messing with the toggle switch on the bottom of the TV.

Enjoy your voyage!!!

The makings of an egg sandwich. The result! Btw, Harmony has Louisiana Hot Sauce. Not bad...

Even though we have our favorite ships, we book our cruises by the itinerary. We have a 54-day cruise booked on our least favorite ship, Island Princess. That being said, we really like the Emerald and her crew.

The Cholula is from my personal travel kit, not from the ship. 🤪

We were told by the DRO that this is the new menu. They will be offering plant-based items going forward. The photo is actually plant-based chicken burritos, I had the tacos earlier in the cruise. Btw, we are now 4 hours behind PST. 12:27 pm in LA, 8:27 am here.

Tommorow we get to relive today!

Tonight the extra dish in the Reserve Dining Room was Lobster Thermador. ¡Muy Rico! 🦞
