The shrimp skewers were better than anything barbeque in Q. Also the miniature lamb chops in Food Republic were delish.

Are you continuing with the 11/5 cruise? There seems to be many who are doing a B2B. We are on that cruise and told the ship is almost full.

Same on the Joy last month. Wondered why they weren't as tasty as before.

Looking forward to your adventures.

So if you purchase $1000 OBC and you only use $100 do you still get $900 back in cash?

This is the Enchantment Officers on the 10/29/22 cruise

We usually do carry on when taking flights. Since cruises started up again we have only sailed from our NY/NJ/Baltimore area so I started using the large suitcases again. My next cruise which is this Saturday calls for a one way flight back from Ft. Lauderdale so I have to go back to the carry on. I just put my shoes in and it takes up half the room. It's going to be a nightmare next May when we do a 21 day b2b where we will be in Spain & Portugal with lighter clothes and then go to Norway where we have to wear heavier clothes. Ugh!

Royal Caribbean Rhapsody and Celebrity Apex both stop in Alexandria next year.

I'm on a 5 day NCL Bermuda cruise in February. Was planning to take ferry and bus to caves. Hope we will still be able to do this. The excursion price is rediculous.

I bring a portable lighted makeup mirror so I can put on makeup and do my hair without straining these old eyes.

I am the OP. I just wanted to confirm what I thought was right about cancelling the standing reservation for the evening if I might go to another restaurant. But on the other hand I would not presume to just walk in to the table I had the previous night without checking in with the hostess.

Why doesn't NCL refund port charges if they do not dock there? In January we went on a RCI cruise and missed two ports. We were refunded (some?) of our port charges.

We will be on the Enchanted 11/5 and there is no menu for Gigi s on my personalizer. Says only has pizza.

We have 4 who want to play on the 11/5 Enchanted cruise but no one wants to schlep a set.

We will be on the Enchanted for 14 nights Nov. 5th. Other than our one Crown Grill reservation, we made reservations for the MDR at the same time every night. If we decide to go somewhere else for dinner, do we have to cancel the reservation for that night?

On our Breakaway cruise last September, 2021 we decided to book a balcony sailaway. We got a cabin all the way forward on deck 8, overlooking the shuffleboard game on deck 7. If we could see them I'm sure they could see us. And it was a very looooong walk to the stairs and elevators. So we asked to switch cabins. They said not until after sailaway. We were very lucky and they moved us to a cabin on deck 10 near the aft elevators. Will not book a sailaway cabin again.

Can you check if they have mah jong sets and let me know? We are on in two weeks. There are 4 of us who would like to play but no one wants to lug a set on a plane.

I like aft near elevators as well. Close to most dining venues.

The first experience I ever had with MSC was when we booked the Fantasia out of Barcelona for April, 2022 which was to be one day after arriving on a TA on the NCL Epic. For several months I kept checking if any excursions were opening for this med cruise. Then one day when I was checking on their website I found out that this cruise was changed to the MSC Opera and that the date of sailing was to be one week later. I was stunned. Called my TA immediately and she also had no notice of it but she cancelled it with MSC. Took several weeks to get my deposit refunded. Swore I would never book MSC again. Then when I heard that the Meraviglia was coming to the NY area I got interested again. Looked at all the different itineraries and found one in October, 2023 that was doing an 11 day western caribbean rather than the usual eastern and southern caribbean cruises that NCL and RCI do out of the NY/NJ area. So I booked it. Just the thought of not having to fly anywhere was incentive enough. I even got the voyagers club discount which I applied to on the original MSC cruise that I cancelled.

This might be off topic but I have a regular refundable rate for a June, 2023 cruise. Early saver rate is approximately $50 less per person. Can I switch it to early saver right before final payment?

How long before the show did you arrive at Syd's? How many people on your cruise? We are cruising the Getaway in February.

If you book 1 phone internet before cruise it is $10/day. On board is $15/day.

Are there mah jong sets on the Enchanted?
