My husband and I have been on more than 20 cruises over the years, including RCI, NCL, Princess, Disney and Cunard. We travel on a variety of cruise lines, and hold no blind loyalty to one cruise line in particular. We are both former high-ranking, military officers, one of us is a healthcare provider (PhD-prepared advanced practice nurse), and we both have high expectations for everything it ...
My wife and i planned a vacation for my birthday beginning july 21, 2016 for a 9 day cruise....from start to finish the cruise line was completely organized and couldn't have been smoother....the staff was friendly, helpful, very professional treated us like royalty...we had our choice of what time we ate dinner...the shows were so fun and professional...we went to bermuda for 2 days...then to ...
I see a lot of negative comments about that ship but the whole experience was awesome, except for room service. One night, I tried to get room service, made the call and asked the operator what they had available, she told me to turn the TV on and look for myself... (not good customer service), so I did that, then tried to call for over an hour and no answer... (even worse customer service).
Main ...
We mainly took this cruise to relax and visit with a family member aboard the Enchantment. We knew it had also been refurbished so we wanted to see that also. This was the first cruise ship we ever sailed on and right now it was our 30th and was our sixth time aboard her.
We made private flight accomodations to fly into Baltimore Maryland in the morning. We took a taxi cab to the pier and it ...
Being a satisfied cruiser with RCCL, I booked this cruise as soon as heard of it on a Monarch cruise. With 6 cruises on the MOS, I rate it above the EOS. True, it did not have a Solarium and Park Cafe, or a Chops Grille. However, I was always satisfied with the dining choices on the MOS. And I found the Solarium to always be misused, with no lounges by the pool. So, those additions did nothing to ...
I recently cruised on the repositioning cruise of the Enchantment from Baltimore to Orlando and had a really great time. I was a solo cruiser, although did have a buddy on the same cruise that I hung out with. I hope to provide a brief an honest review of my experience. (hope I don't bore you too much).
Getting Started
I flew overnight from the Los Angeles area to board the ship the next ...
This was our 3rd Royal Caribbean International cruise with our very first cruise on the Nordic Prince in 1986, followed by a 4 day Majesty of the Seas getaway in 2009, and now a repositioning cruise on the Enchantment of the Seas. Here is a short and sweet review:
Ship: Recently refurbished with updated interiors, addition of Park Cafe (light snacks).
Cabin: Inside 4511, yes it is small ...
Flight to Baltimore was good on AA. Stayed at Admiral Fell Inn. Nice stay and much to do. Spent Saturday, prior to the cruise, in D.C. on a guided tour. Had a good time. Spent Easter in Inner Harbour.
Embarkation: The worse we ever had. Spent over 2.5 hours in line to go through security. Brought 2 botlles of wine and was told that wine was not allowed. When we said yes it was now, we were ...
We are mid 60's, fairly active, and enjoy travel. This was our 26th cruise. We selected this ship based on itinerary and price. Also, since we live in Michigan and fly to the ports, we try to book 10 days or longer. We flew into Baltimore the day prior to the cruise and stayed at Spring Hill Suites on Redwood Street. Taxi from BWI to hotel was about $35. It is a very nice hotel, and we had ...
My husband and I have been on a dozen or so cruises over the years, and this sailing out of Baltimore was a bargain, especially since we could drive to the Port. The departure was effortless and we were on-board snacking in the Windjammer Buffet within about 30 minutes of getting dropped off at the port! I had tried to change our cabin a few days before sailing and was informed that it was a full ...
