Hey jadn (or anyone who has cruised recently)…we board Enchanted tomorrow and I have no idea what the going rate is to tip the porters per bag? I know from experience they will be glad to inform us, loudly, if we appear clueless at the port. 🙄😂

Hopefully someone can share an idea of tip, we carried our luggage on.

Odd.  They probably don't want any panic.  I hope you are feeling well and that your test was negative so you can enjoy your next trip with less stress.

Thank You!
My self test was negative 🤞🏻For tomorrow AM

Thanks.  We are looking to do 40 days next year, 4 B2Bs and it will be quite stressful to go through that multiple times.  Appreciate your help.  I will be curious how many have covid on the ship if  you can report.  

Covid numbers are not being shared.

So, are you able to go back to your room and pack if positive for covid?

Unsure, I’m changing cabins so I packed anyway. I also brought my own covid test so that I’m not surprised by the result. 
I’ll ask more questions tmrw and see what protocol is.

Is that disembarkation day or day before?

Disembarkation day at 8:30am in the Vista lounge

On the Enchanted currently and it hasn’t been open for breakfast

So, are they testing while still on the ship and then you can go to your room and pack if positive or are you escorted off.  I thought somewhere I asked and they said you were tested OFF the ship and not allowed back on to pack?  To me that is the most stressful.  Looking at B2B2B2B2B and how to stay safe without getting covid!  

We test on the ship tomorrow morning.

CVS has a disclaimer on the rapid test that it may not be acceptable for some travel. Does anyone know for sure that the CVS rapid test is acceptable for Princess?

 

The CVS antigen test is accepted if it’s proctored at the location

Have you been eating early? 

Since we always eat at 5 PM the medallion app has only gives 1 option, the Amalfi dining room. If we could get the Capri for early seating like you, I might try to switch. 

I can see from your patters that both dining rooms open at 5PM & I can't understand why the app only lets me select the Amalfi. 

We have been eating at 5pm everyday, it was the best way for us to be able to select a specific table and same staff.

I would keeping checking the app for changes or just check in early on the day when you arrive with the dining room.

In the app you can book individual day reservations try that instead of the full voyage. It might just be one or two days not available and that could be an easier fix once onboard.

Have you been using the Amalfi DR?

It's been years since we eaten in an aft DR. 

No, We have had the same table in Capri for the entire voyage.  I haven’t even looked in Amalfi because of it’s location 😆

No issues today gaining entry to Princess Cay. 

Amazing Weather hot enough in the sun and cool in the shade.

Due to staff quarantine not all bars/eateries are operational, but enough are that it doesn’t make a difference.

Does anyone have a favorite dining room on the Enchanted Princess? I've been searching for photos of the three dining rooms and haven't had much luck. 

Capri for location

Currently only 2 dining rooms are being used. Capri and Amalfi

Is there a library on board?

No library or books in the internet cafe.

Just 12 computers and a printer

Have you ordered drinks with the Princess Plus package for room service off of the TV app ?  If so, how does that work if two people in the cabin , both with PP, want to order drinks ( and food ) at the same time ?

 

Is there a 'log-in' process like on your 'device' ?

I have only ordered through the app for room service  but my second drink was bottled water so that wouldn’t trigger the additional cost 

-You don’t log in to the TV you just select your photo with the remote which indicates who is watching/ordering 

Day 10, Tuesday

Were any shore excursions offered for Transit Guests, or was going ashore completely "on your own"?

This is what’s listed on the App

Is there a library on board?

I don’t think so but I’ll double check the internet cafe in the morning to see if any books are stored there 

Just a reminder: COVID

i realize it’s difficult to forget but it’s day 9 and my waiter for dinner is now quarantined.

I asked the assistant waiter directly and he confirmed it.

Tonight was formal night and the dining room was packed, all the staff were running and working twice as hard as usual.

We are on vacation and don’t care if things take a bit longer or dishes aren’t whisked away quickly.

I realize everyone has their own thoughts on COVID but just keep an open mind if you are sailing soon.

can anyone verify the situation for shore excursions in St Lucia? Are you restricted to Princess only excursions? Are there any independent operators at the port?

From Crew Chat

I’m at the point now that my “drink of choice” is being made when they see me walking to the bar. (i don’t drink that much but this ship is quiet in certain areas)  An App can’t give that service 😆
