Rare Radio Posted March 6, 2022 Author #101 Share Posted March 6, 2022 It appears that Enchantment of the Seas has stopped moving due to a passenger that requires a medivac to take them to a hospital on land. The helicopter is on route and should be here soon. It was suggested that the upper decks will need to be cleared for this passenger extraction. It's a shame that the passenger needs a medical evacuation during the first 24 hours of the cruise. I hope everything turns out ok for this passenger.

Rare Radio Posted March 6, 2022 Author #104 Share Posted March 6, 2022 The Coast Guard came and has left with the ill passenger. The passenger involved has been successfully transported to a hospital in North Carolina. The cruise director suggested that the passenger was in good spirits when the Coast Guard took him away. The ill passenger's wife went with him ashore. Enchantment of the Seas was stopped for about 2 hours during the evacuation process. The Captain suggested that our itinerary and schedule will remain the same. Radio I couldn't go outside, but I did view the Coast guard chopper from Deck 8.

It appears that the evacuation team were posing for a photo just before the Coast Guard arrived. . 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted March 6, 2022 #105 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Glad things went well. On our 2/5 trip a crew member had to be evacuated that way. Many delays but the mission was eventually successful. I am surprised by these helicopter evacs. Thought they were avoided if possible. Again, glad things went well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it has been at 5:30 p.m. for the ship for over 2 months. I am not sure about fleetwide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Radio Posted March 6, 2022 Author #110 Share Posted March 6, 2022 Hello everyone and good day. Today was a very relaxing day. The weather has been very strange though. The temperature is warm (70f) but it is very windy. It certainly doesn't feel like 70°, but things should get better tomorrow. Casino Royale and the Royal Shops opened today and they were packed. One of the dealers suggested that I haven't seen anything yet. Casino Royale has one of its busiest times during the first day at sea after dinner. There were a lot of trivia events today, and live music seemed to be everywhere. The pools were open but only a few kids decided to take a dip. The solarium pool however, has been busy all day with passengers swimming, using whirlpool, playing cards, and napping. Speaking of napping, I was able to watch news for about 90 minutes this afternoon. It felt wonderful. I will try a little later to see if Casino Royale will be a little more "Radio Friendly" then it was earlier today. On a side note, I am very happy with the Coffee machine up in the Diamond Lounge. I had a very delicious Cafe' Americano there this morning and this afternoon. Thank you for the nice comments, and thanks for tuning in. Radio Cruise Director Bobby was the host for the Crown and Anchor Top Tier event. Two twins were able to achieve Pinnacle status on this cruise. I feel bad that the lifeguards have to stand at guard even window passengers are swimming. The Oasis bar has not been opened yet. Maybe they will open as the pool deck gets busier later this week. Viking Crown Lounge Several crew members have been seen walking around spraying a type of mist disinfectant around the interior of the ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kendallrc Posted March 6, 2022 #111 Share Posted March 6, 2022 12 hours ago, Radio said: According to Royal Caribbean, Casino Royale is closed the first evening due to State and Federal regulations. The Cruise Director suggested that the ship must be in International waters before the Casino can open. I am not sure why Carnival Cruise lines will open the casino 30 minutes after leaving Cruise Maryland, and Royal Caribbean must wait until we are out of the Chesapeake Bay.

Again, glad things went well. they avoid actually landing on the ship whenever possible but they do evacuations by dropping a basket down to the ship, loading the passenger into the basket then lifting them up to the chopper.

BND Posted March 7, 2022 #114 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) I'm sorry. The whole lifeguard thing only exists because there were parents who had no clue where their kids were and there were a couple of drownings because of that and those weren't all on Royal. Lawsuits and poor parenting is what led to those employees having to be out there even when no one is in the pool. Also, as for the Oasis bar, I've seen where it hasn't been open. Hopefully with more people cruising that will change. Also, not sure why they are misting. Surfaces aren't transmitting the virus. It's a bit of "feel good" theater. Our church stopped doing this weeks ago. Edited March 7, 2022 by BND 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Radio Posted March 7, 2022 Author #117 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Hello everyone good morning. Welcome to DAY 3 of "LIVE" from Enchantment of the Seas. We are sailing our 2nd Day at Sea toward St. Croix, USVI. The skies are very cloudy, but the forecast shows it should be 71 ° f and sunny this afternoon. Dinner was very good last night in the My Fair Lady Dining room on Deck 5. It seems that most passengers that choose My Time Dining would prefer earlier dining. I was there around 8:00 p.m. and there were hardly any passengers in the restaurant. It seems that most came early. The Headliner Showtime last night featured the "Alley Cats" in the Orpheum Theater. They are billed as a doo-wop entertainment comedy quartet. They we're very entertaining, and very funny. I decided to stop in Bolero's to see what was happening. The "Latin Dream Band" was featured and these guys were great. The music was spectacular, and I would recommend this group if you like Latin music. There are a ton of activities planned again today for our second day at sea. The crew seems convinced that the sun will shine and passengers will be filling up the pool decks later this afternoon. Thanks for tuning in. . . Radio Sunset yesterday evening STB The seas are very calm this evening My Fair Lady dining room The Mississippi Mud Pie is the best The Orpheum Theater on Deck 5 The steps lead to the second level of the Orpheum Theater The Alley Cats perform. It was a great show. The Bolero's servers are very happy. . . The Latin Dream Band had a great performance.

Heather1972 Posted March 7, 2022 #125 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I was on the Enchantment of the Seas cruise before this one. So it’s fun to watch your cruise online. If you see the waitress/host at the buffet entrance named Yaxiang, tell her Heather from the last cruise says hello! I’ve been on a lot of cruises and she’s one of my favorite cruise staff ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
