Enchanted - library?

[Raisinette]

I've checked the deck plans and don't see a library on the Enchanted Princess; does anyone know if there is one on board, and if so, where?

Thanks!

There is none.

I suspected as much...that's too bad, now I'll have to lug a few books instead!

Thank you.

Last month on the Enchanted 10-day itinerary the cruise directors staff organized a book swap for passengers on two different days.   It was held in the Crown Grill lounge and had a fairly large selection of books to choose.  The event was listed in the Patter.

That's good news, fingers crossed they do it again!

Thank you

I haven't seen it last cruise.

That sounds great, I always bring a couple books and end up leaving them in the library when I finish. Swapping would be nice.

Do they have anywhere on the Enchanted to check out board games?  We enjoyed getting games from the library on the Island Princess.

Internet cafe on deck 5, starboard side of the piazza MAY have some games.  Might be under lock and key however.

You might just get a Kindle and check out a bunch of books from your local library.  I always check out a bunch of them as I don't know what I will want to read on the cruise.  Lots easier than lugging heavy "real" books.

I just checked with the PS desk and they do have a book exchange on the Enchanted at 4 to 4:30 at the Crown Grill bar. Board games will also be available although they might have them at other times also.

Unfortunately I'm still a 'real' book kind of person...so far...!

(Bringing books and then leaving them behind also provides room for shopping purchases!)

That is one of the reasons I enjoy bringing a ‘real’ book on a cruise. I was actually surprised on my Hawaii cruise last month as to the large number of people who were reading ‘real’ books. And the book exchange section in the library covered several shelves. I dropped off the book I brought from home but returned home with 2 books from the exchange shelf. Oops! I guess that defeated the purpose of having an empty ‘hole’ in my luggage upon disembarking.

We were on for 20 days in December and I was able to get books at the Guest Services desk. I wouldn't have known but I saw one of the GS people pulling books out for someone else. Never had a problem getting a decent book. I am an avid reader...

Every morning, many board games and cards are put out in a dining room for guests to use. There is no forma check out process.

Of course ! Why didn't I think of that. 

Everyone knows, It's the logical place to put them.😄

What would you use to put on your Sunbed to reserve it for 4 hours😜, Certainly wouldn't leave a Kindle.

They use the area as a gathering space for those that want to play games. It’s listed daily on the Platter.

Left hand side of customer service desk had an area to drop off books or browse others donated. The box and others appeared at the book exchange later in the cruise.

[Sherri1]

There were  assorted books left at the  Future Cruise Sales  area in Feb on Enchanted 

[MissP22]

I'm beginning to think people just leave books and games just about anywhere on the ship since the library has been eliminated.

I couldn't find much on our last cruise at all.
