pris993 Posted November 27, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 27, 2022 This one of the biggest disappointments of the newer ships, use to love to look through the travel books on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted November 27, 2022 Author #4 Share Posted November 27, 2022 So there is no where on the ship to get a book or leave one behind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libraries do not generate any revenue. Would you really expect them to have them. Azamara used to have a wonderful library on board w comfy chairs to sit in and also jig saw puzzle tables. When they did the renovation of their latest ship they replaced the library w yet another bar. I guess that a ship can never have enough bars. Thank god for Kindles.

effyatsea Posted November 27, 2022 #6 Share Posted November 27, 2022 While I admit to being disappointed when i saw there was no library on Enchanted it did seem they are becoming more of a dead space on board. Was on Regal earlier this year and despite walking past the library several times each day and going and sitting in it on several occasion I never saw another person in it.

MissP22 Posted November 27, 2022 #7 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Libraries have become a thing of the past on cruise ships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macaroni Posted November 27, 2022 Author #8 Share Posted November 27, 2022 HAL Rotterdam and Oceania Riviera both have really nice libraries….a shame there is not even an area for a book exchange on the Enchanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyochem Posted November 27, 2022 #9 Share Posted November 27, 2022 You can pick up or donate a book at Guest Services on the Enchanted. They have a box of books to pick from. Hubby didn’t find anything to read but did donate a book before we left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON In the days of the R class Royal, Ocean and Pacific Princess we spent a lot of time in that library. It was a quiet haven. Oceania has one of these previous R class ships from Princess and a couple they had before and Azamara also has one. Removing that library would massively change the cruising experience.

Also talk to your steward, they will take your books and give them to other crewmembers that like to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON I have been cruising since the early 1980s, it is only in the past 10 years that ships started eliminating libraries, first saw it on Celebrity ships which still had a facade of a library, no real books. To answer your question, I do expect them to have a decent library especially of travel related materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffatsea Posted November 27, 2022 #14 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Interesting All the Princess ships I've been on had the computer area and library together as one space I've not been on a ship yet that had absolutely no books available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted November 27, 2022 #15 Share Posted November 27, 2022 We found the library on Oceania Insignia to be a lovely space. MSC Armonia also had a library. But nothing beats the libraries on Cunard, especially the QM2. Above pictures are from Queen Elizabeth. EM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
