When-I-booked-NCL-as-a-solo-for-this-November-I-could-only-book-a-Club-Suite. Then-my-TA-sent-their-upgrade-bid-request. Every-category-of-the-real-suites-were-available-but-they-wanted-a-bid-for-2-passengers. That-was-more-than-I-wanted-to-pay!

I-just-sailed-solo-on-Enchantment-of-the-Seas-in-a-Grand-Suite. No-issues-at-all! Had-a-wonderful-stateroom! Planning-a-solo-NCL-on-Jewel-for-Thanksgiving. Any-information-on-their-solo-practices-would-be-appreciated!

😭 I-cannot-stop-crying-over-this-devastation. The-destruction-on-this-beautiful-island-provides-a-wake-up-call-for-all-who-do-not-think-we-need-to-quickly-address-climate-change. My-heart-goes-out-to-all-affected-and-those-still-in-Beryl's-path. -
I-am-just-off-Enchantment-June22nd. They-are-in-Cozumel-today-and-scheduled-for-Belize-tomorrow. They-were-then-scheduled-for-Costa-Maya-and-Roatan-no-Progresso.I-am-not-sure-what-ships-would-be-going-there. After-Belize,-I-would-be-surprised-if-Enchantment-stayed-anywhere-around-the-Yucatan. On-our-sailing-although-TS-Alberto-was-way-north-we-met-up-with-wild-weather. Missed-Costa-Maya-as-winds-were-higher-than-25-miles. For-two-nights-the-ship-rocked-side-to-side-and-forward-and-aft. My-dresser-drawers-banged-open-and-shut-along-with-the-closet-doors. I-was-on-deck-8-but-my-balcony-was-drenched-in-sea-water-from-the-high-waves. We-sailed-through-squalls-with-torrential-rain-and-high-winds. I-hope-all-in-the-path-of-Beryl-come-though-in-good-condition.

Just off Enchantment today. Yes, they were there to take your boarding pic. They also had several nights for more formal or informal pics. Photographers were visible for sure. The usual photo gallery was there for pax to choose their photos. So, you can choose to join in or not-but on this ship-they continue with onboard photos.

They do have a printed Kid's Menu in Luminae if you ask. Also a Veterinarian Menu. JIM-By-chance did-you mean vegetarian? -
We-had-a-similar-experience-with-jewelry-at-this-port.Purchased-good-silver-earrings.The-seller-took-the-earrings-in-the-back-of-the-kiosk-and-returned-them-wrapped-up. Did-not-open-this-package-until-the-cruise-ended-only-to-find-a-cheap-pair-of-metal-earrings-were-substituted. I-think-one-lesson-I-learned-is-to-see-the-items-I-purchased-not-wrapped. Too-much-opportunity-for-replacing-valuable-items-if-they-are-wrapped. Cannot-think-of-any-reason-to-wrap-items-away-from-the-buyers. There-is-little-chance-of-a-return-or-dispute-in-my-situation.

C-legs-have-you-been-to-Nachi-in-2024?-If-so-any-current-experiences-to-share? IMO-the-post-you-focused-on-with-mention-of-a-snake-etc.-is-not-reflective-of-the-overall-CC-posts-on-this-resort. When-you-say-"it-will-be-very-different"-are-you-referring-to-7-ships-in-Cozumel? I-am-not-clear-on-what-would-be-very-different. That-number-of-ships-is-typical-and-they-handle-the-pax-volume-very-well!

We-went-to-Costa-Maya-in-2004-on-Explorer-of-the-Seas.This-was-our-first-cruise-with-MANY-to-follow.

DH-and-I-have-been-to-the-Western-Caribbean-ports-more-than-18-times-since-2004-(first-cruise)-so-I-have-no-interest-in-a-particular-location. To-clarify-I-am-not "disappointed"-in-the-content-of-posts. My-point-was-to-encourage-more-than-a-few-to-post. When-you-consider-the-volume-of-those-sailing-to-W.Caribbean-how-can-others-be-enouraged-to-post? Why-d-others-not post? When-I-read-these-boards-despite-many-trips-to-the-area-I-see-replies-from-a-few-and-I-am-not-posting. I-do-not-see-this-on-other-ports-to-the-degree-it-is-seen-here. Just-my-opinion!

It-is-disappointing-to-constantly-read-replies-from-the-same-posters-on-several-of-these-threads! No-current-information-is-provided,along-with-reporting-on-older-experiences. I-do-do-reply-on-these-boards-that-are-constantly-covered-by-the-same-cc-posters. Hoping-with-all-the-volume-of-cruisers-through-these-ports-we-can-benefit-from-more-recent/current-information. These-are-exciting-ports!! Let's-hear-from-CC-recent-western-Caribbean-cruisers!
