Can someone let me know if they are on the Enchanted as well? I think they are so pretty. On Enchanted they look more like water droplets maybe? Very pretty whatever they are. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Jito Posted November 13, 2021 Author #102 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Sneak peak for tomorrow’s Patter 🙂 We’ve booked ship’s tours in St. Thomas, but you are allowed to explore on your own. Really looking forward to my first scuba excursion! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Jito Posted November 13, 2021 Author #103 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Salty Dog Grill menu. So nice to have actual hand washing stations near all the dining venues, including around the corner from Salty Dog, and on the other side near Slice Pizza. Good for washy off greasy fingers after eating, too! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Jito Posted November 13, 2021 Author #104 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Retreat Pool, and lounging area one deck up on 18. Several of these lounge chairs setups with the planters; looked very inviting. A couple of hot tubs and showers on this level, too.

Mo Jito Posted November 13, 2021 Author #105 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Totally random, but the sinks in the ladies rooms are very nice, with little succulents in most 🪴 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t quite tell from your photos, but did the Retreat Pool have steps actually into the pool, or just a ladder? This is kind of important to me. Thanks!

I tried to capture a picture of the awning over the outside dining area; I’m concerned about sitting out in the hot sun. We will visit for outside lunch one day and I will report back. With so few on this cruise, very few people in Gigi’s tonight. The pizza was excellent and the service attentive and friendly but not overbearing. Thanks for the menu! Glad to see my fave is still on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HleeCruiser Posted November 13, 2021 #110 Share Posted November 13, 2021 It appears there is only one show each evening in the Princess Theater. Is that the case? Thank you. Tough for those with dinner reservations at 8 pm! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy that you can order a $12 drink with alcohol on a drink package but not a CAN of soda! The cost to Princess for a can of soda is significantly more than the cost of soda through a nozzle.

This is not a change from the last year or so before covid Understood. We have gotten caught on this as well with the soft drink package. Husband likes no caffeine in the evening and wanted a diet caffeine free drink. They had diet sprite but only in cans and we had to pay for it. I had hoped maybe the beverage package would include this but no.... Sure wish they make one caffeine free diet soft drink available.

Thanks for posting the Gigi's menu - confirmed it has exactly the same food offerings as Alfredo's on the other Royal class ships. Why on earth did they bother rebranding it then?!!!

Can you possibly tell us how deep (or shallow) the Retreat pool is? One thing that surprised us on the Sky was that the Retreat pool was only about 2 feet deep. Just curious. Hope you're having a great time! 2 hours ago, Buckeye10640 said: Hmm...where are the chairs around the pool? Possibly a change due to Covid?

If someone has time to answer - is the Skywalk on Enchanted a balcony style on either side with the railings and opening like on Royal so you can look down thru the gap over the balconies or is it closed with teak deck/ floor all the way out to the rail but the glass windows inset in the teak deck? Just curious!! I believe it's the latter. I do recall there were cabin privacy issues on the ships with that "gap", so it's possible they made an appropriate adjustment in the design for the newer ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curious did you receive a call directly from Princess for your upgrade? Did you book thru Princess or TA? Was it complimentary or did they ask for an increase in cabin fare? TXS We always book through Princess - we think our assigned rep is great and always follows through - the one category upgrade came in an email. We were surprised. At first, felt hesitant as we had a deluxe balcony mid ship, 9th floor. Now we have a premium deluxe on the aft of the ship. Very large balcony and should be fun. Something different. So excited! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were regulars at the Retreat Pool on the Sky - our cabin was right across from it. If I recall, they didn’t put the loungers out if it was windy, the pool was quite shallow, more like a dipping pool. Cannot recall if there were stairs - though given the depth probably not necessary unless you need a little assist getting in and out. We spent most of our time in the area up above the pool as there wasn’t much sun around the pool itself. It’s a nice area but quite a bit different than the other Royal class ships. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the info. I truly hope that the lack of chairs is not a daily occurrance. Guess I will find out next month. Sometimes we want to be outside but in the shade. I was looking forward to using that area since we are booked on the Sun deck. Edited November 13, 2021 by Buckeye10640 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
