A little off topic but I noticed Enchantment was doing 2 7-night sailings from Galveston next year.  If I remember correctly it was Key West, Nassau then Coco Cay.  Looked like 2 weeks in a row then back to regular 4 and 5 night sailings to W. Caribbean.  Thought that was interesting.

If you haven't been to the Caribbean before,  I would be very cautious in the sun.  You can burn incredibly quickly at those latitudes,  tanned or not.

It's not really RCI's fault, in my opinion.  Galveston is just geographically challenged.    ?
Although I did happen to notice that next year Enchantment will be doing 2 7-night cruises, back to back, out of Galveston with stops in Key West, Nassau and Coco Cay....maybe they are testing the waters.
I live in Texas and absolutely detest air travel, so I love being able to drive down to Galveston and hop on a ship.  But I don't really care so much where it's going as long as it's a cruise.   ?

Is this the infamous bathroom from your Enchantment Cruise with questionable plumbing?  We are in the same room on the starboard side for a September cruise.  I am a little leery now after reading your live blog but hoping for the best.  ?

I will gladly pay the $6.70 extra to be able to sail an Oasis Class from Texas  ?

A couple of years ago on Liberty,  I asked one of the pool servers if you write a tip in on the receipt does it get pooled or does it go directly to him and he told me it goes to him.  So I have been doing that rather than carrying cash around in my swim trunks.  Even with a drink package I always write in another 1 or 2 bucks per drink,  they do remember you.  And as a pool bartender on Rhapsody once told me, "The more you drink, the better you look!"   ?

As for the afternoon tea, you might be thinking of another cruise line...and yes, they still do it.....but RCI has the belly flop contest...?

We are waiting on a September cruise on Enchantment, and I have pulling up poison ivy planned for this weekend...but unfortunately,  I don't think that helps  ?

Well if it's on FB it must be true.

Can I politely recommend mixing literally anything else you can find on the ship with the vodka, instead of coke?

I found a bunch of pictures from our honeymoon cruise in 1993.  We were on Premier's S/S Atlantic (one of the Big Red Boats).  We were docked at Nassau at the same time as the Empress (was it the Nordic Empress at the time?).  I just remember being awed by how big she was.  I think the Atlantic was ~30,000 tons and their S/S Majestic was ~17,500 tons.    The "Big" Red Boat is off on the right (with the life boats on the top deck).   I have no idea what the little ship on the left is, I just know my wife will never get on that ship unless it was a tender vessel....
Apologies for the non-twangster image quality, a scan of a crappy 25 year old print.

I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I'm pretty sure the sun only sets once a day....?
