I have loved your review and the pictures are beautiful. We're going on the Brilliance Jan. 3rd and can't wait. When are you going in January?

 

Thanks for the great pics, and review. Going in May. The first time on this ship, and can't wait.

 

I'm sailing on the Brilliance Jan 22nd. "thinking" about switching it over to the 3 day on Enchantment again. I just love this ship and the wonderful crew.

 

Thanks for the kind words about the review and pictures, it means a lot to me.

I found this late, what a fantastic and unique way of doing a review/live from!!! We are on Liberty a month after your Nov cruise and I can't wait to see another edition. It'll be the perfect preview. Thanks!!!

Michael you will be boarding the day we will be getting off. Don't worry I'll take good care of her for you.

What a bummer. Wish you could come with my daughter and I on the 3rd. Would love some photo tips too. You do the most incredible job with your photos. Even if you say you are not a professional...it sure looks like it to me. Can't wait to see the Liberty review and photos.

Okay so some of you might be wondering how 11 people spent the whole day on the property.

 

They had booked a hotel for the day (casino rate $99), which gives you 4 full-access passes, well what did we do? We had 4 go in, 1 come out with passes, then 4 back in. I'm pretty sure the guy knew what we were doing, but I think they could care less. Believe me that made up for it on our pool tab at $11-$15 per drink! :mad:

 

We were stalling while others went into pool area...

/QUOTE]

 

 

I was with you until I read this. What if your sales staff pulled this kind of stunt?

Believe me this is not my style, but I was a solo cruiser and just went with the family. I had no idea this was the plan going in.

Thanks for posting this awesome review!! It was very well done.

Really enjoyed the pictures and your candor.

My daughter and I went on EOS Oct 13, 2014 and we had a blast. Everything you said was spot on!

 

We will be returning January 9th with the rest of the family to celebrate my son's 16th birthday.

(He gets to miss school and cruise to the Bahamas!! Lucky kid)

It would be a dream come true for him to do a bridge tour! That was truly a unique experience!! So happy that you had that opportunity!!

 

Hope to see you on the cruise!

Great photos. Would you mind giving us a few pointers? What type of filters do you use? What are you using for post-processing - photoshop? What camera and lenses do you use for various different pictures?

 

Great job.

 

I use a Canon 60D with a 135mm lens & 55mm prime lens. I also shoot in raw so I can edit them in Lightroom.

 

I don't like to edit the photos that much, because you take away from the actual shot.

 

Also - be sure to check out my new review I just started: http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=2140183

Just found this review, sorry haven't read it through but thought I'd ask, since you seem to be on Enchantment a lot, if you get 3 drinks per day loaded onto your sea pass as a Diamond perk. We just turned diamond and have Enchantment booked in February but wasn't sure how the drinks worked. Will I get coupons? Will the drinks be on the sea pass to use anywhere on the ship? or is there a Diamond Lounge? (Will go back and read your review but wanted to ask while the question was fresh in my mind).

The drink vouchers are automatically loaded on your SeaPass nightly. You can use them at any bar and theater for the same types of drinks you can get in the Diamond Lounge. You cannot use the vouchers in restaurants. You can only use the vouchers during the period of the Diamond Lounge cocktail hour, usually 5pm to 8:30pm. Unused vouchers expire every night, they cannot be accumulated.

 

Enchantment has a Diamond Lounge where you can still get free drinks during the nightly cocktail hour. Drinks in the lounge are unlimited and don't count against the vouchers.

Thanks Bob! At least I have the choice of abandoning my friends and going to the DL or getting my drinks elsewhere :D
