Live-- Enchantment of the Seas 8-night SE Coast and Perfect Day: March 25- April 2, 2022

[DragonOfTheSeas]

Tonight's movie is "Funny Thing about Love." It is being shown in the theatre at 5:30pm and 9:15.  

 

The Headliner tonight is vocalist Derek Floyd with "A Lionel Ritchie Experience." We are going to the 9:30 show.  

[DELTABLUE]

Two good entertainment choices tonight.  Wait, what?  If the movie is in the theater at 9: 15 PM, where is Floyd appearing at 9:30 PM?  Is the movie VERY short?

They did not have the blocks on my cruise.  They left me a note with information to fill in to have it shipped to me.  It said 6-8 weeks for delivery, so who knows.

We sailed end of February and we received our block in the mail at the beginning of this week.

We are at 10 weeks and counting still haven't received ours. I am planning on calling at 12 weeks.

We got ours in less than 4 weeks.

I was wondering that also.

We questioned what Dragon posted as she is currently onboard.

[DELTABLUE]

Here's another question:  If you don't have WiFi, will the RCI app work in the terminal to show SetSail Pass?  I know the app is supposed to work on the ship.

You can see it on your phone using your normal phone plan.  You use wifi onboard.  Phone onboard should be on airplane mode to use it there, but in the terminal, use it just like you would anywhere.

[DELTABLUE]

App is on a tablet that does not have phone service.  It works off my house WiFi and I think it will work off the ship's service but will it work in the terminal?

Sorry. I was using the app and had the wrong day open

Just take a screen shot of your SetSail pass at home then show the picture at the terminal.

That is what I would do. I used my phone so it had its own Wi-Fi.

 

I actually did see Cruise Maryland pop up as a Internet provider on my phone but I never connected to it because I didn’t need to, so I can’t vouch for the fact that it actually works.

[alex_drew]

Delta, I hate to admit this, but I actually printed my Set Sail pass for this coming Saturday even though I have it on the App, just because I'm paranoid that for some reason I won't have whatever "service" I need at the terminal.  Sorry...I do try with all of this technology but why would I worry about it when I can just print... 😝

[DragonOfTheSeas]

Here are a couple of pictures from the show.  Derek Floyd was excellent.  He has a nice voice and plays the piano with many of his songs.

Tomorrow we are in Charleston.  Good night.

[DELTABLUE]

Niters Dragon!

 

Mcdonaldbam...I did take a picture.  Wanted to check about service as the picture is not quite square and don't want to be stuck if it does not work because the lines are a little off kilter.

 

Dragon..knowing that "Cruise Maryland" popped up as an internet provider is very encouraging!

 

alex_drew...if it is not already abundantly clear, I freely admit to being rather technologically challenged.  I do what I do and am still able to learn a thing or two, but it takes longer these days.  I just got new ink cartridges for the printer and will definitely have a paper copy of my SetSail pass with me.😉

 

Dragon...gotta agree about Derek Floyd.  Have seen him a few times and he always puts on a great show.

Enjoying the report so far. We were going to be on the April 2 with Delta but we had to postpone. We are now sailing Sep 2 to bermuda. Looking forward to your live stream!  

[DragonOfTheSeas]

We are here!  I did not get up early enough to get a sunrise picture as we sailed in.  😁

 

We have been to Charleston many times.  Most were muti-day land vacations.  I won't say we have done it all, but we have seen most of the sights. So, today we plan to ride The Dash and do a DIY walk about in the historic district and visit the city market. The Dash is a free shuttle that covers the downtown area.  We have not taken this before so wish us luck.

 

We will be taking the green line.  

You can see there is a stop at the water-front park and our dock is just beside that.  

 

 

Here is a link to the map of all three routes :

The only other time we have sailed into Charleston was 3 years ago on the Grandeur.  That time we visited Patriot Park via the water taxi.  It leaves from the Waterfront Park, also. 

 

That is the Grandeur, and the slanted walkway is where the water ferry loads.  You can see how close that is.

 

It is a very nice park to visit.  You turn left from the end of the dock and the entrance is here:

 

 

We both enjoyed waiting for the ferry on the swings. 

 

[DragonOfTheSeas]

We rode the Ferry to the Patriot Park.  They have lots of WWII era items there.  Planes, a sub and the USS Yorktown.  We enjoyed that.  {we are former history educators]  

 

 

 

 

But the real draw was a helicopter trip around the Charleston area.  

 

 

 

This was the ship from the air.

 

 

Fort Sumter-

 

 

Today is going to be a "chill" day.

I'm enjoying your posts!  But please don't deprive yourself of too much of your own cruise time, to do them.

I love your aerial photos.  The last time we were there, we had thoughts of walking up to that bridge, and walking across.  As it turned out, the day was very foggy.  I can see now how far away it is.
