Welcome to Vlog #1 of our Enchantment of the Seas cruise — and what turned into a true cruise embarkation day nightmare. What was supposed to be the exciting start of our Royal Caribbean vacation quickly became stressful when heavy fog caused major delays, pushing embarkation back by more than eight hours and nearly causing us to miss the ship altogether.
In this cruise vlog, we take you along through the chaos and uncertainty as we wait for updates, deal with the delayed boarding process, and race to finally make it onboard Enchantment of the Seas before departure. After hours of delays, the ship eventually sails away from port after midnight, making for one unforgettable embarkation day experience.
The adventure continues into day two of our cruise as we settle into ship life and enjoy a special dinner at Chops Grille, Royal Caribbean’s signature steakhouse.
