From the field
Royal Caribbean International. RCI Enchantment of the Seas is scheduled alongside Terminal 2 on Sat, Sep 19. THE PORT PUBLISHES THE DAY AND NOT THE HOUR — every entry in this calendar is all-day, so the sailing time is not in the feed and this row does not invent one; check the line's own schedule before you commit an evening. Tampa's ships leave down a narrow channel under the Sunshine Skyway, which is the frame worth having, and it needs a long lens from shore.
