mine.

I disagree as well. We spent spring break on Reflection this year - we were under 50 with a young teen. We all loved it, so I booked Beyond and Ascent for next year - I head the crowd is even younger. IF you go during a school break, you will encounter much younger people.

yes, same itinerary

I've just looked at the daily patters on our Enchanted cruise and O'Malleys was only open for lunch on the second sea day. So, once. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3013301-enchanted-princess-review-june-1-2024-western-caribbean-with-food-pics-dailies-and-more/page/2/

yes, it's 4 devices at the same time. Yes, you can switch any one of those to number 5 and any other one to #6. We usually get one plan and switch it between 4 devices. correct.

you can choose a female driver as well. I think. When I was setting up my Lyft account, I could swear it asked whether I wanted to pick female drivers (since I am a female).

I didn't join CC until 2017, so it was definitely not me. 🙂 why not uber directly from the port to the hotel?

yes, that's the family party. My kid enjoyed it when he was younger.

just be advised that the crowd on a 10 day Enchanted was very geriatric compared to a 7 day Enchanted cruise. Ah, I see, you are a young 81. You'll be fine.

I doubt it, since I have no idea who you are. 🙂 Last time we were on Liberty OTS was over 10 years ago, so I wouldn't remember anyone from that cruise anyway. I don't even remember anyone from the cruise we just took 3 weeks ago. Sorry!

Thank you! Did you try the pasta bar or mongolian wok?

why not post them here?

Uber/Lyft? SAS shuttle (not very reliable).

they will make you anything you want. Any mixed drink can become a mocktail. Some things are on the menu: Key West cooler, Choco-Banana, Sunshine Daiquiri, Zero Mojito, Strawberries on Fire. We really like the Key West Cooler (the adult version is the Ultimate Cooler), Zero Mojito and regular/diet coke mixed with mint and lime. The kid also likes Zero Miami Vice.

We haven't yet sailed on Carnival, so I am not exactly comparing the two lines anyway. That said, we paid the same money for a Celebrity Reflection cruise (8 night, ABC islands) as we did for Carnival Horizon (8 night, ABC islands), so I expect to get at least the same amount of enjoyment out of both cruises, despite the atmosphere and clientele being completely different. We'll see. I'll report back, of course, after we sail in November.

one more thing - Magic and Celebrity Reflection are only a year apart in age, but Reflection was in top notch shape in April, and the service was beyond great. You can see my review in the signature, if you want.

but is it dry heat? 🙂 Humidity makes everything so much worse.

call them back

sorry, but I don't want to hear Frank Sinatra ever again on a cruise or otherwise. So glad Princess refreshed their entertainment, because we were getting tired of the oldies. I'll take 90s and newer, please, unless it's Queen or Abba. Maybe, select few from the 80s, but not too much. I was very pleasantly surprised by the more modern entertainment on Reflection and had a blast at the Queen sing-along.

Lol, it was 98F yesterday in ATL, so I'll take 89F with an ocean, somebody making your bed, serving you food, and putting on shows any time. We just came back from the Caribbean cruise. It was unbearable in Mahogany bay until we got in the water. After that it was pretty good. However, we always go to the beach in ports (or try to) and spend a lot of time in the water. We don't do ruins or zoo trips, because we can't be outside in the heat. We were on an ABC cruise in April and had a great time. We are gonna be on an ABC cruise in November and will have a great time. it usually cools down by mid-August, but with the global warming, the hope is slim.

the umbrella or shell with 2 chairs were $30. loungers without umbrellas/shells were free, but nowhere near enough for everyone. The beach was horribly busy. We were there on Enchanted Princess 2 weeks ago, with a Carnival ship docked in port as well. https://boards.cruisecritic.com/topic/3013301-enchanted-princess-review-june-1-2024-western-caribbean-with-food-pics-dailies-and-more/page/2/#comment-67513252 the airlift (gondola) was $15 for unlimited rides. On Princess you could book it in advance with OBC.

just curious - what age would that be? If that's your photo, then you look to be about the same age as us. And if 69 stand for 1969, as in the year of your birth, then you are older than me and my DH. We were still under 50 when we tried it this year, along with our teen son. All three of us loved X Reflection. All the entertainment was surprisingly modern for my taste (most of it was from the last 20 years, except for a super duper fun Queen sing along). There were many people in the 35-55 year range traveling with a bunch of kids and teens on an 8 night cruise during spring break. I hear the crowd on Edge class is even younger than on Reflection.

We are going to try Carnival for the first time this year, but I just wanted to say - we just tried Celebrity this year as well, and it was great! Now, they are very expensive, and it weren't for their 3rd/4th person free promotion for next year sailings, I probably wouldn't have booked them for 2 more cruises, but only because of the price. Our April cruise with X was somewhat reasonably priced. We also like Princess - you could try them as well (newer ships only - Royal Princess and younger).

it worked for us all week (several times a day), except for 2 times. we love it. We can actually access the closet (unlike on MSC, RCI and X) and even leave 2 suitcases in it. I also love it that I can change in that closet hallway out of my teen's sight and vice versa. It allows for a lot more privacy than the other cruise line's cabins. Had a hard time getting to the hanging clothes on MSC: same on RCI Oasis class. Less than a foot of space between the sofa and the closet. I do dislike the shower curtain on Princess. We couldn't see which alcoholic drinks were purchased on our account, only the quantity: 4 out of 15. We never even got to 10 per person, even when I or DH were getting them for both of us. We never had anyone else's drinks charged to our folio. no one has to. it's really bad. The smoke smell wafts to the surrounding areas.... Yuck.
