Unlimited Dining Package and Deluxe Beverage Package.

This is exactly what I did. I had a few rough notes and used my photos to prompt my narrative.

Okay, I totally read this as "Hilton Molino Sucky" and thought, "Wow! @tonyfsu21 is normally much more eloquent than that, even when he's criticizing something. This place must have been awful!"

I have the Away expandable soft side large bag and the soft side larger carry-on. Have loved them both for years. I've never had an issue, but a co-worker of mine had a zipper go while on vacation, and they ended up sending a replacement bag to her hotel. That was several years ago, so who knows if customer service is still that good, but it definitely impressed me at the time.

I certainly waited till the last minute on this one, but we'll be setting sail from Bayonne on the 13th. If you see a tall and slightly haggard man in a Coast Guard hat on board, say hi. I'm friendlier than I look!

This was very strange timing. Just got a notification on my phone that George Wendt passed away. RIP, Norm.

Not the best picture, but at least it will give you a bit of a feel for what to expect. This was our "gaucho," who brought our never-ending parade of meat to the table. You'll also have a more traditional server who will handle drinks, clearing plates, etc. They work as a team, and it really makes for a fun experience. My son, who we have to practically force protein into his diet, loved it!IMG_9402.heic

Not ones working for Legal Aid Society. (Seriously, thank you for what you do!)

I'm neither terribly religious nor superstitious, but I wouldn't be thrilled to be assigned cabin XX666.

This is very true. I drink at least 2 cups of coffee from the machine in the suite daily, so I bring a cleaning pod with me and use it day one. Worth the few $s IMHO!

Oddly enough, Rising Tide is one of my kids' favorite things to do to wrap the day up. They loved hopping on in Central Park with us, grabbing a Shirley Temple on the way down, then grabbing a slice at Sorrento's before heading up to bed. Something about people watching as they're slowing riding down into the promenade just really tickled them.

Enchantment of the Seas, 1999 (pre-stretch). Got engaged on stage of the Orpheum Theater on formal night. Not a bad 1st cruise!

Adding to the overwhelming endorsement for Poo-Pourri. Wonder product, goes on EVERY cruise with us!

While no school district is perfect by any means, mine is excellent in this regard. Our 2025-2026 calendar was Board Approved LAST February. I definitely count myself lucky.

Got the 3 night dining package for $109 for July 13-20 during the Black Friday sale.
