Big Ship Cruising

I had the pleasure of embarking on a 10-day cruise through the beautiful Southern Caribbean aboard the Enchanted Princess. Generally, I lean towards smaller vessels for a more intimate cruising experience, but this trip proved that sometimes, bigger is indeed better. From the moment we set sail, we were greeted with endless sunshine and a laid-back atmosphere that set the tone for a truly relaxing vacation. The Enchanted Princess, a larger ship, surprised me with its ability to create a warm and welcoming environment. The ship's layout made it easy to explore without ever feeling overcrowded, and the range of amenities available ensured that there was never a dull moment.

 

One of the standout features of our cruise was the entertainment on board. Whether it was live music, thrilling performances, or engaging activities, there was something for everyone. The nightly shows were nothing short of spectacular—each performance leaving us eager for the next. An excellent addition to our experience was the Princess Premier package. This all-encompassing deal included reserved seating for shows, unlimited fitness classes, prepaid gratuities, and other thoughtful perks that enhanced our cruise experience. It truly allowed us to relax without worrying about the little things, enabling us to focus on enjoying our sister time together.

 

Dining was another highlight of our trip. One of my favorite meals was at Catch by Rudi, where we were treated to a culinary experience that was as much about the atmosphere as it was about the flavors. The dishes were beautifully presented, and each bite was a celebration of fresh, exquisite tastes—certainly a memorable dining experience.

 

This vacation was especially meaningful as we celebrated my sister's retirement. It was wonderful to spend quality time with family amidst the stunning backdrops of the Caribbean islands. Each port of call offered its unique charms, but no matter where we ventured, the joyful spirit of celebration remained with us. As an unexpected treat, we were fortunate enough to win a day in the Sanctuary—a serene retreat designed for relaxation away from the bustling ship's activities. This was the cherry on top of an already delightful vacation, allowing us to soak up even more sun and tranquility. Overall, my cruise on the Enchanted Princess was a joyous mix of relaxation, celebration, and memorable experiences. It turned out to be a fantastic trip, proving that sometimes stepping outside your comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises. If you're considering a cruise in the Southern Caribbean, I wholeheartedly recommend the Enchanted Princess—it might just be the getaway you've been looking for.
