Rare orville99 Posted October 13, 2014 #1 Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) :)Overall, it was a great cruise. Crew was great, our cabin attendant was outstanding, the ship's in great shape and we had wonderful weather. Just a few nits (and if anyone's on EN in the next week or so, I'd love to know if these were just one-offs) Parke Café: Friday and Saturday they were serving roast pork loin on Weck - didn't have beef until Sunday:( Windjammer: Closed on the day we were in Coco Cay. MDR closed at 1PM, so only food choice was Park Cafe:( No smoked salmon anywhere on the ship. WJ didn't have any, Park Café didn't have any:( Broadcast three NFL games on the big screen on the pool deck, but no sound - we were told that they were required to play music on the pool deck:( No movies on the pool deck - in July we watched one out there every night.:( On a brighter note, Ripple worked - although it was a bit counter-intuitive to set it up Edited October 13, 2014 by orville99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mommabean Posted October 14, 2014 #3 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Oh wow!!! That pork was GREAT in Park Cafe. I got a pile of the last of one end on boarding day. I quickly got over my no roast beef sandwich disappointment. :) Gina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texplant Posted October 14, 2014 #4 Share Posted October 14, 2014 First Post Yay! We were on Enchantment last week as well. We had the Kummelweck on Friday while waiting for the cabins to be ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notsomadhatter Posted October 15, 2014 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Bummer on the WJ being closed for lunch on CocoCay day. I have copies of some Cruise Compasses from last month and it lists it being open 7am-11am for breakfast and noon-3pm for lunch. So the question is was your experience a one-off or is this change new? I guess I'll find out next week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be a change from last March where only the MDR was open for lunch when the ship was in Coco Cay.

Sent from my iPad using Forums mobile app Are you talking about Ripple Cruise Communicator? The paid app that lets you contact others on the ship at no charge? It gets low ratings and say some Carnival ships have blocked it. Do you find that it really works well? Or does it have issues causing the low ratings?

Gina The Ripple app requires a very specific WI-FI setting to be disabled in order to work. That's why it's hit or miss on which ships work and which don't. It all depends on the IT staff on board.

It gets low ratings and say some Carnival ships have blocked it. Do you find that it really works well? Or does it have issues causing the low ratings? Gina Yes, that's the one. It worked on EN, but setting it up was a bit counterintuitive and clunky. You had to enable the app first, then enable Wi-Fi , and as soon as the RCL wifi connected you had to close down that screen and bring up the Ripple screen. Once the Ripple screen was up, the RCL login screen would pop up, and you had to hit cancel. A dialog box then pops up that asks you if you wanted to use wifi without internet. Click that, and the app works (you have to repeat the process on each device each time you start the service). Entirely too much trouble to go through just to send a short text message - but it did work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the other poster was saying is that it might work on one ship and not at all on another. It all depends on the IT people setting up the WiFi in a specific way that is generally considered to be lower security. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpoole3 Posted October 16, 2014 #20 Share Posted October 16, 2014 I will have to try it next week as well. Park Café is usually our first stop on the EN I thought the pork was okay, kinda tuff compared to the Roast Beef. I never saw them bring the roast beef out two weeks ago. I'm curious as to what you think about it, once you return. Have a great cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The app was only 99 cents in the Apple store. While it worked ok, we couldn't text any more than a sentence or two before it truncated the rest of the message.

Is this a different version of Ripple? Is your app specifically the Cruise Connect app? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
