"LIVE" from Enchantment of the Seas / Jan 5, 2013

About the sign on the bridge tour....

 

 

 

Did they explain why there are more people on board than lifeboat capacity? Not that there would ever be a need for it. Just puzzled about that.

 

 

I seen that to and was wondering as well. Maybe we will hear from here about it.

The sign says maximumum # of PAX in lifeboats 2574 and there are only 2443 PAX on board. Maybe they don't count the crew ???

Pax lifeboat capacity is for the solid lifeboats that hang on the side (sometimes used as tenders). Passengers would use these in an emergency. The crew life boats are the inflatable rafts that hang on side in barrel like containers. Other than the crew assigned to man the pax lifeboats, the rest of the crew would use those.

Hello everyone. . .Welcome to DAY 10 of “LIVE” from Enchantment of the Seas. I hit the rack early last night. I was really worn out, and I knew I would have to get up early today.

 

We arrived in the dark at about 6:30 this morning with very heavy fog. Actually we have had heavy fog since we entered the Chesapeake Bay. The fog horn sends a blast about every 2 minutes. . . The fog has cleared now, and the forecast is for a chance of rain but mild (56F) This is unusually warm for Baltimore in January.

 

The first Express debarkation passengers started leaving at 7:05AM. That means that all passengers will be off of the ship in about 2 ½ hours. I should be walking to the gangway by around 9:30AM.

 

It has been a great cruise, and I am grateful for all of the nice comments I have received for this post. When I get home I will re-read the thread , and I am sure that I may have missed a few questions that I will try to answer.

 

I still have many good photos that have not been posted, and I will upload all of the Menus and each daily Cruise Compass.

 

Thanks to everyone for tuning in. . . Farewell until my next “LIVE” report in May 2013.

Good Morning,

 

As a reminder, did you find out if other cabin categories had a

re-do or were the D1's the only ones ?

 

Did all cabins get the flat screen TV's?

 

Thanks, Carol
