Great they have several copies of each book - saves people waiting.

We usually take 12 bottles for a 15 day cruise. 2 are no fee and the rest $15 per bottle corkage. On board the bottles that cost $30 are really only a $5 bottle on land, so we take a $20 bottle and even with the corkage fee it's only $35 - a much better value. We just pick the bottles up in the town we are departing from and sit them on top of our case in a wine carrier while we wait to embark - very easy.

We saw that production on the Sky in March 2021 - Terrible. Everyone was walking out as well. I cannot believe they are still have it.

There were board games outside Crown Grill when we were on board the Enchanted in Sept. 2022 Few books there also.

We were on Sky transatlantic last March and the Enchanted transatlantic in Sept last year. No library on either, but they had a few books outside the Crown Grill. There were also games in the same area. Sudokos and trivia sheets were at customer service desk on both ships.

We were on Sky Princess in March and laundry rooms were open 24 hours a day, every day.

We have been taking our own bottles of wine onto ship for years and paid corkage on any bottles over the first two (1 pp) In the past our extra bottles had a label put on them to show we had paid corkage and we carried them on. Earlier this year we took 12 bottles on our Transatlantic from Miami - they checked in the bottles near check in and they were delivered to our room and corkage charged to our account - no labels at all. Everyone knew corkage had been paid. We took bottles to the dining room, specialty restaurants and even pool bar when we were watching a movie. No distinction between our two free bottles and corkage bottles. They can be drunk anywhere. It's a little awkward to have a dozen bottles along with suitcase and hand baggage, but well worth it if you have nice wines, since a $5 supermarket bottle is $30 on ship. We have also bought bottles of wine while in a foreign port for the day and had that charged to our account as we got on board. Never been a problem, never taken away until end of cruise.
