Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas

Pros: Everything
Cons: Almost nothing, just two not so good acts.

There's a song "Some Enchanted Evening" for this review we'll change that to Seven Enchanted Evenings. My past birthday I had the pleasure of spending my entire birthday week, sailing the high seas on Royal Caribbean's 'Enchantment Of The...

Pros: the backbone of the ship - THE STAFF
Cons: NONE

The first thing I learned was the difference between the term boat and ship which was supplied by my travel companion SurgRN911 (Diane) and passed down from her brother Gungian. The difference between the two – a ship can ...

Pros: great staff, quality entertainment
Cons: it is never long enough

www.rccl.com Background After taking a NIGHTMARE cruise on Royal Caribbean last January (2005), I was not very encouraged to take another cruise with them (or any cruise for that matter). Since a bunch of my family spent most of the nightmare ...

Pros: pretty close to an all-inclusive vacation, lovely ship
Cons: didn't enjoy Cozumel very much (but that's not RCCL's fault, rude woman on board

One of the issues with having two small children is that you rarely get to vacation without them. It seems as if every vacation we've had lately has been to see one set of parents or the other. And a vacation without the kids? Over the past seven years, ...

Pros: beautiful ship, courteous staff, great destinations
Cons: the cruise had to end...

Background:
My husband and I (mid-20's) took this cruise as well needed springtime get-a-way. We booked it in September 2001 for about $1750, and then in December our travel agent was able to get a reduced rate of about $1400 total. This was my...

Pros: Beautiful boat, top-notch food, stellar service in all areas, and cute employees with exotic accents
Cons: Expensive drinks.... and that's about it.

Somewhere around June, I was informed that my entire family was going to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, and going on a Caribbean Cruise in October. Strange as it may seem- I wasn't too in to the idea (I was having to pay for it). However, the time came, and...

Pros: Fantastic staff, beautiful ship!
Cons: Excursions, early pool closings.

I'm afraid there isn't time or space to cover everything about this cruise. Hopefully, I covered some highlights. We signed up kind of late last summer (July 2002) for this cruise of the Western Caribbean. Since this was our first family cruise...

Pros: Beautiful decor; lots of marble and brass
Cons: Mediocre cuisine.

The Enchantment of the Seas was built in 1997. It's presently doing alternating 7 night Eastern and Western Caribbean Cruises; however, soon it will be doing a shorter five night itinerary.

I sailed aboard the Enchantment of the Seas Western...

Pros: Wonderful staff, great food, great excursions, plenty of activities
Cons: Too-crowded pool, too-small spa facility, forced drop-off in Cozumel

15 family and friends boarded the Enchantment of the Seas on July 19, 2004 for a 5 night tour of the Western Caribbean, including stops at Key West, Cozumel, and Belize. It was a wonderful trip that I would take again in a heartbeat, and on a ship that ...

Pros: Service, food, entertainment, ports, too many to list
Cons: Not enough time in Key West.

UPDATE 3/17/05 - This ship has had a makeover and given a big addition! Here are new features (from royalcaribbean.com): "Thrill seekers get ready! We're adding four bungee trampolines to launch our adventurous guests skyward for unparalleled views and ...

Pros: Staff, ports visited, excursion options, variety of activities
Cons: Cigarette smoke, ship felt old, food mediocre, long lines

Being someone who gets seasick watching Love Boat reruns, I never thought I would opt for a cruise as a vacation. My husband and I have been to several resorts in the past, including Sandals Royal Bahamian and Grand Lido Sans Souci. But he has always want ...

Pros: Incredible service, wonderful staff, beautiful ship decor, great entertainment, and oh the food!!!
Cons: Completely outweighed by the pros.

In December 2002, my fiancé (then boyfriend) and I decided to try a cruise for our annual vacation. We decided on RCI Enchantment of the Seas, the Eastern Caribbean itinerary. Just a few comments about us, we're in our mid-late 20s, and enjoy a variet ...

Pros: Beautiful ship, Wonderful food, Top Notch Service, Great Price
Cons: Dull nightclub crowd, Ice cream on deck 4pm-5pm only (I know these are minor)

This was my second cruise and my girlfriends first. I knew what kind of service, food and accomodations that I expected, but she being a newbie was floored.

To start off with the ship is beautiful. Nicer than the Carnival Sensation that I...

Pros: Service, service and more service. Food isn't bad either
Cons: Not long enough

In the words of Jimmy Buffett- It's been a lovely cruise. My wife and I are in our early forties (quickly approaching mid.) Two days after Thanksgiving 2006 we took our first cruise ever. Our college aged daughter and her friend joined us. We had two ...

Pros: Staff, beautifully maintained vessel
Cons: I had to come home

We sailed the Enchantment Sept 11, 2003 for a 4 day cruise to Key West and Cozumel. This was our 7th cruise, 5 with RCCL. I sailed the sister ship, the Grandeur, in 1997. This is by far the nicest short cruise offered. The ship was in great condition and ...
