We boarded her as you were disembarking. So far, per my speed tests, the internet is pretty much the same as every other Medallion-class ship that we've been on. Hardly blazingly fast, but perfectly adequate for our purposes. It's been pointed out here on CC that internet coverage in northern Europe, and particularly in the Atlantic is generally less than ideal, possibly due to Princess's choice of satellite provider. We ate in La Mer last night and loved it. By 7:30PM it was about 80% full. One general comment about booking Specialty restaurants. We chose to do as we have always done and wait until after boarding, then head to each restaurant and book them for the week. Bad move this time. Sabatini's and Crown Grill were heavily booked at the times of boarding, some days were completely unavailable, and we didn't come close to getting all the times and dates we wanted. I've seen it said here on CC that Princess holds half of all tables until sailing to allow for walk-ups, so half could be booked on-line ahead of time. That is clearly not the case for this sailing on the Enchanted. Either capacity is heavily restricted, or on-line bookings account for the vast majority of bookings

We're looking into possibly using FBC for flights to and from FLL next May to get us to the Equinox. Our usual flights are way overpriced using frequent flyer points which is how we usually fly, and the Celebrity website is showing some amazingly (and worryingly) low cash prices for the itineraries we are looking at. Problem is, when I try book the flights on the X site, the "Select" button is grayed out. We are 325 days out, which I realize is early, though the desired flights do show up, even showing a steep discount off the "regular" price, but is it still too far out to book? If so, approximately when would they open up for actual booking? Or does the booking have to be done by X or our TA? Thanks in advance...
