Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Climb aboard friends, were headed to Freeport. 😱 Never been there, what's the over under that Laura gets off the boat? This is actually a warm up to our upcoming Rhapsody TA. First time back on Enchantment since her return to PC. It was booked with a casino $300 off cert, so we upped it to a J$. An Aft one at that, so I'll be tracking steps on my Gear2. I'm creating the thread on my laptop, but all the posts will be via my Android phone and the hated Mobile Web version of CC. 😉 We are currently in the middle of a major remodel of our condo, so I'm looking forward to not living in a construction zone. Some of the things I intend to cover are: Parking at Terminal 1 Security line for Suites and Pinnacles only Booking NextCruise with the new rules and a $500 Casino Certificate Coco Cay updates Dinner in WJ Drink Vouchers in the MDR Getting reacquainted with one of my favorite ships Crystal Block distribution (910) Top Tier party?? Freeport VOOM speed Ease of posting to CC via Mobile Web while on ship And whatever else I feel like pontificating on.... BTW, Congrats to SpaceX. Lovely launch and landing even though it was pretty much 100% in the clouds from our place. 🚀 There will be alcohol Probably a good weekend to skip town, eh. Our enchanted ride.

Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted November 16, 2018 FYI, feel free to ask any questions, it is a live after all. I will try and respond, but I will also be using the like/laugh/thanks buttons as well. It doesn't mean I don't appreciate the well wishes, I'm just trying to use that feature. @Coralc And I promise not to post 59 pictures in a single post. 😉 I know it's a pain to quote a post with lots of pics. I'll try and limit mine to 6 or less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkvillain Posted November 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Really looking forward to this John. I'm desperately trying to squeeze an Enchantment trip in before she is exiled to Galveston. Hopefully you can survive this weekend without tapatalk. 😉 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare perfect match Posted November 16, 2018 #7 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) I'm looking forward to this, John! Bella isn't looking quite so happy, though. I love your idea about getting out of your condo during your major renovations! I have a few things I'd like to do in our house, but the idea of living through renovations does not sound like something I want to do! But going on a cruise during renovations - I could definitely handle that! We have not sailed Enchantment yet. I think I need to get our schedule sorted out so we can remedy that while she is still here in PC. I'm hoping your review and pictures to get me going on that. Some nice pictures of your JS would definitely help get me moving. Edited November 16, 2018 by perfect match 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fla gang Posted November 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted November 16, 2018 We were on the old girl back in August. I can say that the dining room service that we had was better than any of our Oasis class sailings, and the MDR food quality(at our table) was very good, all 3 nights. We had a compd cruise and we were in a very tiny inside cabin. Probably our smallest room yet. Mattress was very hard. Casino was much better for me(slot player) Than any of my big ship casinos! Enjoy your cruise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare island lady Posted November 16, 2018 #12 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) Thanks for bringing us along John! Will be following...need a cruise fix! 🙂 Looking forward to my return to EN this February. Wish we could keep her again! When we did the MJ special 5 night that went to Freeport, we loved it, wish the ships went there more often. Would be nice to go there on the 4 nighters instead of that day at sea. Enjoy your cruise!

gatour Posted November 16, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Our Enchantment of the Seas cruise last weekend was our first RCCL cruise as Diamond members. We were able to use the drink vouchers at every bar and in the MDR and the main show room. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OACAggie Posted November 16, 2018 #16 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Looking forward to the pictures John. Enchantment was our very 1st cruise in 1999 and it was our honeymoon too, so fond memories. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2018 Author #17 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Like I said, it's cold here. Well, for Florida 😉 Thanks to @POA1 for teaching me Android screen shot. It takes a Village. 🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2018 Author #18 Share Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) My bags are packed, I'm ready to go. Since it's just a shortie, we're not checking anything. Also no formal wear, but I am bringing a navy blazer. I'll wear it aboard. We head over at 12:30 since I dont like dragging bag all over ship. If its Oasis we go at 11:00 and hang out in SL/CK. Lala juice is chilling, it gets an insulated bag MIZ... Edited November 16, 2018 by John&LaLa 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted her gone during demo. 😉 Lots of delays, so we're behind schedule. This will be a nice break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare John&LaLa Posted November 16, 2018 Author #21 Share Posted November 16, 2018 OK, we have the new individual passenger set sail passes that look like airline boarding passes. Not sure if that means we get our keys in room. The online check in process did not require a picture upload as I recall. The set sail also has a boarding time, I dont recall requesting anything specific, but the time frame works for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted November 16, 2018 #22 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Bella looks ready to party too, she has her beer koozie locked and loaded. Safe travels to you and Laura. As 57, that’s shorts weather. 😉 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have socks on, though. Bell is staying with neighbors, shes been there since renovations started. Hopefully she will want to come home someday.

smplybcause Posted November 16, 2018 #24 Share Posted November 16, 2018 My guess is not getting off Freeport! It looked like nothing was there when I was there besides and industrial port. Though we didn't dock at the one that MSC was at (not sure where Royal docks) and my friends walked over and said there were a few things like Senor Frogs. Otherwise nothing is walking distance - we did an excursion to an AI beach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
