Where better to spend Valentines Day than on the cruise line of the original Love Boat? Though it’s not the Pacific Princess of the old Love Boat TV show, Enchanted Princess is still a Princess ship. It’s newer, bigger, more modern, and can do something the ship from the show couldn’t do – toot the Love Boat theme on its horn.
chocolate buffet
On the Enchanted Princess Valentines Day started first thing in the morning with decorations in all of the public interior areas of the ship and a little chocolate buffet along with the other breakfast offerings at the Lido buffet.
decorations at one of the ship’s bars
As well as the eateries and main public areas, each bar had different valentine decorations.

Some passengers added their own touch to Valentines Day aboard. Various staterooms around the ship had Valentine decorations adorning their doors. Some just had a few door decorations, but others went all-out.
valentine ducks from Enchanted Princess
Among the duck hiders onboard, valentine themed ducks were quite popular. We brought some to hide and found some that other people had hidden. We found a couple that looked just like the ones we brought, except with other people’s tags.

The gelato shop had a bike cart that was probably just for decoration, but made a good place to set a valentine duck for easy finding.
piazza ready for Valentines Day
The biggest Valentine themed activity onboard for the day was a mass renewal of vows in the central area of the ship which Princess calls the piazza for any couples who chose to sign up for it. The piazza was decorated for the event.
dinner menu on Valentines Day
The menu for the dining room looked quite festive adorned with hearts, but the food itself was the same as the previous week’s second formal night.
Love Boat heart dessert
The only valentine dessert there was the Love Boat heart that is actually on the menu every night rather than anything special for Valentines Day.
Valentine cake
There were valentine cakes on display though. Maybe they served them at the buffet. We did not go up there to see at dinnertime, though the ones they had on display at the buffet earlier in the day were just for looks.
Valentines Day photo stand
Some of the backgrounds set up around the ship for the photographers each evening had Valentine themes starting a week or so before Valentines Day. When the day came there were quite a lot more Valentine’s themed photo ops. Not just backdrops like they had before. They added in several Valentine themed set-ups. People used them for selfies during the day and there were photographers there in the evening for professional photos.
love tag tree
Reminiscent of the love locks seen around various places, the ship had some Valentine trees where people could write a message on a tag to hang on the tree.
Valentines decorations at the port in Saint Lucia
Even the ports we visited just before Valentines Day got into the act with some Valentine themed decorations at the port. Both Antigua and Saint Lucia had things. Saint Lucia’s was mainly a selfie set-up on a round stage thing.
Kissmas tree in Antigua
Antigua had different things along the main walkway through the port. They even had a Kissmas tree – like a Christmas tree except decorated with Valentine colors and hearts.
