dannyt818 Posted June 29, 2007 #1 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Hello fellow CCs! Just a quick post to let all the future EOS cruisers know whats going on on the ship... a. new beds (at least in the JS) are D-I-V-I-N-E b. same menu (exactly) as last summer in My Fair Lady c. no comedian on board :( d. port side hallway on deck 8 smells of mildew (no biggie, but don't book a room there if you are allergic to strong smells) e. there is constant cell phone service onboard (good for emergencies!) f. hopefully, this won't happen to you: 13 yr old kid wearing flip flops, sitting at the table next to us in the dining room had a bleeding foot from a freshly picked scab as I was cutting into my steak. don't take this post the wrong way, we are having a WONNNNNDERFUL time and are ready to see whats new in Key West. More later!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rpetriegirl Posted June 29, 2007 #8 Share Posted June 29, 2007 So did you have to change anything with your cell phone company, like to international calling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieNJ Posted June 29, 2007 #9 Share Posted June 29, 2007 So did you have to change anything with your cell phone company, like to international calling? Yes, you have to call to activate International Calling or else is won't work. (At least with Verizon that's how it works) Just tell them you're going on a cruise and they can give you all the info you need to be able to make & receive calls. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it could get expensive though. :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nliedel Posted June 29, 2007 #11 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks for the update. I am so jealous! Have a fabu cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieNJ Posted June 29, 2007 #12 Share Posted June 29, 2007 That is really cool, especially for emergencies. I assume it could get expensive though. :confused: With Verizon, it's $2.49 a minute. Click here for the Enchantment charges on Verizon Wireless's own website: http://mobileoptions.vzw.com/international/roaming/rates/Enchantment%20of%20the%20Seas.html It came in handy for us on Enchantment because my DD who was back home staying with my mother got an ear and tonsil infection. :( So having the phone was a great help.

TheWog Posted June 29, 2007 #13 Share Posted June 29, 2007 but now do you have phones constantly ringing and people talking all the time? I can see emergencies, but could it be limited to rooms or specific areas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristieNJ Posted June 29, 2007 #14 Share Posted June 29, 2007 but now do you have phones constantly ringing and people talking all the time? I can see emergencies, but could it be limited to rooms or specific areas? I noticed only a few people on the phones, NOTHING like in normal everyday life. I mean, who wants to just chit-chat for $2.49 a minute? Not me! :p lol It was just people either checking on home, family, or businesses. It's short conversations, if at all. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbeestl Posted June 29, 2007 #15 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Just checked my carrier and it's $4.99 per minute! I won't be chit chatting that's for sure! Text messages are cheap though. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpjmom Posted June 29, 2007 #16 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Thanks so much for the info about cell phones. I'm travelling EOS in September & hadn't even thought about that. (Obviously, I'm a new cruiser!) I have Verizon, so I've bookmarked that website. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare hcat Posted June 29, 2007 #17 Share Posted June 29, 2007 Glad the cell phone rates are high--some people like to get away from other people's endless cell calls while on vacation! Nice for emergencies & to check in at home but other than that NO Thanks... We can't wait to try Enchantment..Had a JS booked in Dec but had to cancel for a med emergency-- Wish they'd aso offer a longer itin- we had a nice 7 day trip on her before the changes!
