Raisinette Posted February 27, 2023 #1 Share Posted February 27, 2023 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raisinette Posted February 27, 2023 Author #3 Share Posted February 27, 2023 I suspected as much...that's too bad, now I'll have to lug a few books instead! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeaYouThere Posted February 27, 2023 #4 Share Posted February 27, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latebloomer56 Posted February 28, 2023 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2023 That sounds great, I always bring a couple books and end up leaving them in the library when I finish. Swapping would be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesnpatty Posted February 28, 2023 #8 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Do they have anywhere on the Enchanted to check out board games? We enjoyed getting games from the library on the Island Princess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisingrob21 Posted February 28, 2023 #9 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Internet cafe on deck 5, starboard side of the piazza MAY have some games. Might be under lock and key however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you. 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. DON 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissP22 Posted February 28, 2023 #11 Share Posted February 28, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(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.

paradiselivin1 Posted March 3, 2023 #17 Share Posted March 3, 2023 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...

It’s listed daily on the Platter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amet beach Posted March 24, 2023 #22 Share Posted March 24, 2023 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissP22 Posted March 25, 2023 #24 Share Posted March 25, 2023 I'm beginning to think people just leave books and games just about anywhere on the ship since the library has been eliminated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
