In less than a heartbeat, I would. When applications become available, will you let us know?

Hey all. Just wanted to reach out and say hello to everyone. It’s been three years since I last posted. Last anyone knew, I was headed for an Enchantment of the Seas cruise Feb, 2016. Well, at the last minute Royal Caribbean cancelled new and it didn’t happen.. The story is long, and maybe one day I’ll share it. I just got really anti- Royal Caribbean for a while. I am better, and miss y’all. I have missed the daily banter, and the fun discussions though. I hope the last three years have been good to everyone. I’ll talk more and more as the days stretch.

Yeah, I know... He was the one that sold me on EotS as well... I was just giving you a playful sassing because in all your cruising, you still haven't managed to get on her yet.. but I know you will

The ONE ship I want to sail on is Oasis. USA Today did an article on her pre first sailing, and with everything she DOES have, I was surprised she didnt have a roller coaster.

For me, the answer is Enchantment of the Seas.

Hey Matt, I can tell you all about it in 28 days. Maybe convince you to try her, since all Michael Poole's glowing reviews haven't convinced you yet.

and why do we have to choose? i want them all... and as i've had none, can't wait to try all

Jeff.

 

Dude.  For some reason, your post really got to me (not sure why, as I'm not divorced nor a seasoned cruiser), and I simply am beside myself excited for you.  I remember how stoked

I was last year before my first cruise; it's almost physically debilitating!  That you get to take the people most important in your life just makes it that much better!

 

I wish I could go with you, amigo (never mind my avatar - I look just like Matt and LOVE Sabor!).   B)

 

I think I can safely speak for all of us by saying that we are all happy for you, and expect a LOT of posts from you, both pre- and post-cruise!

Dave, I truely appreciate your words.

Not usually. I recommend printing it out ahead of time.

 

That is a suggestion. Show up whenever you want.

 

In all ports I have been to, there are digital signs that indicate which ship is docked in which port.  If nothing else, the port security can direct you.  

thanks Matt, again...lol

Well, we made it to 47 days until embarkation, and finally received our cruise contract, and set sail passes... excited...excited...excited

Since this is our first RCCL cruise, I have a couple questions...

1. will we receive any paperwork from RCCL that shows all the pre-booked things we chose.. such as shore excursions, or specialty restaurants.. specifically, the times we are booked?

2. it says check in is 1130... does it really mean 1130?

3. Miami is HUGE... will we be told what part of the port to go to in order to get on Enchantment of the Seas, or just drive around til we see it? all the contract says is follow the directions to the port.

Thanks again for everyone assistance.. Merry Christmas to all.. Happy Hanukkah, Happy New Year.

Jason,

I'll be on Enchantment in Feb. PM me, and we can discuss

I'm sure someone could find a way to have them dunked in chocolate

lol... leave it to us to turn an innocent conversation about harmless cookies into a discussion on the deliciousness of bacon..

just curious...but what does a model of any ship cost, approximately?

I'm really liking the way you only tease small bits of info.. keeps me coming back, looking for more.. my brother lives in TX, and Galveston has always interested me as far as including my brother on a cruise, as its so much easier for him to travel there.

cant wait...

Well said, David..

ok. i just cancelled and rebooked all our excursions and drink packages... saved about 100 due to this sale... aprox how long will it take for rccl to refund my original booking?

Happy Anniversary, Kristen..  Enjoy Harmony. Please let us all know how it goes... and Thank you for your kind words

can one person, say me... get a Frappuccino on Enchantment of the Seas?  Are fraps offered?

Your continued participation here on the message boards, podcast, site, etc are all the thanks I need.  We have a wonderful community here, and it is because we have people like yourself in it.

So... No Sabor????? lol... :D 

how many equals too many? I know its subjective, just curious

What is the website?  I would be interested in it.  Thanks.

cruisetimetables.com

thanks Doc, I knew I could count on you for advice

I was recently given a website address that lists all ships in port on any given day. For my upcoming cruise, we will have 4 total ships in Nassau, including the one I will be on. Will 4 ships make Nassau overcrowded? In your opinion, how many ships are too many ships?

Jeff,

 

I'm so happy for you ....

 

My hiatus from cruising lasted 7 years, but I'm fortunate enough to have not gone through the hell you've gone through, but I definitely understand how cruising, Matt's Podcast and this site can bring a person back from the cliff...

 

My divorce was in 1998, then the mother of my youngest and I went our separate ways in 2009 (as the lawyer said, "Thank God you didn't marry that crazy B*&^%" --- Fortunately my daughter is now 17 and she sees how crazy her mother can be.  SHE GETS IT!!

 

Fast Forward to today, My wife of 3 years and I just went on a 5-nighter to Bermuda back in September (we finally got a honeymoon).  This was her first cruise, AND LOVED IT!!!  The solitude and the ability to go, pretty much, off the grid was very therapeutic.

 

I'm proof positive that you have to go through Hell to get to Heaven ..... Sounds like you've been through your Hell and Heaven is just right around the corner ......

 

Well Done Sir.

 

Mark

Mark, Thank you for this. Very touching
