Hoping for warmer weather, which the Daily Compass can’t control

On the ship in 5 days!

 

How are the Schooner Bar entertertainers? Anna on piano, and then Ross Leadbeater in the evening. Is Ross fun?

 

Fresh Beat and Latin Dream good?

 

I'm noticing that there's only 1 main show in the theatre each night. I wonder if that's because of the low population of the ship. And no music/dance shows in the theater yet, correct?

Ross is a blast.  He is upbeat and quick witted.

 

Fresh beat are outstanding.

 

We haven't went into the theater.  Shows really aren't our thing.  We've seen so many over the years in all inclusive.

We are watching you come into Nassau.  The ship looks lovely!  Give us a wave!

Would you be able to post a copy of the spa price list, please.

We were waving!  We on our balcony facing the celebrity ship.

 Sure I can.  Where would I find it?

[BND]

Anyone on this sailing in a GS or higher?  We have someone on our roll call asking about suite amenities and they posted a list they found that at best is a little out of date.  We always sail in a JS but have done GS on EX a few times so it's been a while.  So, if anyone has a copy of the letter and amenity list they provide in cabin for GS or higher on EN, can you please post it?  Also, does anyone know if D+ still has access to the CL?  We're sailing in April and usually use the CL on Vision class, but didn't know if it has changed.

They should have price lists sitting on a table in the spa.  If they are not out, just ask one of the staff for one.  Thanks so much.

Last time on Vision class (Feb 2020) CL was not open to D+.  In October/November  on Oasis and Anthem,  CL/SL was only open to suites - no D+ or Pins.  So I would assume nothing had changed.  Still trying for social distancing.  Katherine

This would be of interest to me also, since I'm in a GS for the 3/17 sailing.  Question on the MDR...are actual menus still given at the table or is it all just on the app?

I've driven our fifth wheel from Ontario to Key West and let me tell you a cruise ship is easier.

LOL...yeah, but the drive across the Keys is quite enjoyable. Would love to do it again sometime!

The stuff that is good is very very good, but the stuff that is not will leave you just wondering “*****?”

I've found this to be true on several cruises - sometimes things that look really good actually aren't. Especially desserts - they look fantastic but then turn out to be a waste of calories.

There are 716 passengers aboard

I'd love this to be the case for our sailing in March, but suspect by then the ships will be fuller barring some unforeseen increase in covid and/or restrictions.

On oasis in oct you got menus at table. I used the app on my phone. 

[DevonfromAcme]

Vaccinated wear bracelets.  No tracelets in sight, though you are scanned in and out of the Wind Jammer with your seapass.

 

We didn't have to scan in or out of anywhere else on the ship, except of course leaving and returning on port days.

Are they still requiring vaccinated to wear bracelets and everyone to wear "tracelets?"

I realize you are traveling without children but are any on board?  I am wondering what kind of children's activities might be available for thing 1 and thing 2 (12 and 14) in these unusual times.  I hope they will not be confined to a circle, given they're fully vaccinated.  Perhaps someone else reading this thread, might be able to answer.  

 

Life's too short, not to get out to sea.  Thank you so much for taking us along!  Jeannine from Ottawa.

 

We just got off this ship (January 8-20) and there were maaaaybe a handful of kids on board-- less than 20, I'd wager, and no teenagers that we saw.  All the kids were really little.  I don't think Adventure Ocean was even open.

 

As for children's activities?  Unless Adventure Ocean is open, none.  Literally.  I'm serious. 

 

Don't know when you are sailing, but fair warning, have your kids be prepared to make their own fun-- games, puzzles, devices, whatever.  The Enchantment is not a ship geared for kids.  It's a small ship, and there is really nothing for kids to do (except for the rock wall, which may not even be open).  The crowd skews very much older, and if you're sailing in Covid times with greatly reduced capacities, they could easily be the only kids of their age on this particular ship.

They have the QR code to scan on a placard at each table if you want an electronic menu, but paper menus and wine lists are readily available for every meal.

 

I hate reading menus off my phone, so I asked for a paper menu, and our waitstaff team brought me one every night thereafter without me even having to ask.

Both my husband and I had some work to do on our Jan 8-20 sailing, and we found the internet to be great on laptops, both in our Deck 8 cabin and in the Solarium. 

 

Connectivity on our phones around the ship was spotty.

Following along… We are on Enchantment in June for a 9 nighter.  How is the internet?

On the last sailing, they had two shows for the comedian the first night, one early and one late, but I guess it was pretty empty for both, so they combined all future shows to one show at 9:30.

 

There were a variety of small acts-- comedians, juggler and magician.  For musical acts, there was a four tenors group.  No dancers that I remember.

Our last time on Vision class (GR) was April 2019 and CL was open to D+.  I know the SL is only open to GS and above on ships with SL's.  Vision class doesn't have a SL.  We've been on Vision class ships 10 times and have had access to the CL as D+ but didn't know if it had changed.  We just did HOTS and have done other classes of ships and never expect to have access to the SL.  Vision class has been different since they don't have SL's.  But, I'm asking about anyone who has either been on in the last month or is currently onboard.

Sounds good to me. I agree with you completely. 

[Jarmo]

BND, I don't have an answer for you now but will before you sail.  Am wondering if the location of the DL on Enchantment has any impact on who has access to what lounges as both DL and CL are pretty much in VCL.

[WeMissSeaView]

Royal has been converting CLs to SLs. 

[Mr. Spock]

Really enjoying all the on board posts. I’ll be on Feb 17 (8 night) cruise with DD. Want to make Chops reservation but not on formal night. Would appreciate info as to what are the formal nights. I assume there are two for an eight night cruise. Thanks.

Day 2 and Day 7 (according to the app).
