Editorial Summary

The creators share their personal experiences and opinions regarding a recent sailing on the Enchanted Princess. They highlight several positive aspects of the cruise line, including the convenience of the wearable Medallion technology for room access and location tracking. They also praise the variety and affordability of specialty dining options, the preference for traditional balconies over infinite verandas, and the overall luxury feel of the ship. Additionally, they appreciate the customer service chat feature within the mobile app. However, the creators also detail several significant drawbacks. They criticize the mobile app for having a difficult user interface and a non-intuitive daily view. They express disappointment regarding long wait times in the main dining room despite having reservations and find the food and drink delivery service to be unacceptably slow. They also note that the Princess Prizes feature was frequently unavailable due to port schedules and mention that the evening dress code is more formal than expected, specifically noting that shorts are not permitted in the main dining rooms. Despite these issues, the creators conclude that they had a great cruise overall.
