All together this was a wonderful cruise. We had a family of 8 and there was something for everyone. We all had a great time.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

We loved the main dining room and the service was awesome. We especially loved Basyir and Rommel. The buffet was nice and had a great selection. Did not do any specialty restaurants.

Pool Bar

5 out of 5

We had the best bar tender Marcel. He remembered all of us by name and drink. He would come out of his way to speak to us when he was tending other areas and we were there or passing by. Loved him!!!

Ben and Jerry/Latte-Tudes

I love coffee and the kids love ice cream. The coffee was wonderful and the Ben and jerry's was delicious.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

Orpheum Theater

5 out of 5

I like the was the theater is set up. Nothing in the way of the performer.

Children's Programs

5 out of 5

Teen Center

5 out of 5

My son had a great time in the teen room. He made new friends. There were a lot of activities for him. I knew I could always find him there.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

Our servers and steward were awesome. We had a favorite bar tender who remembered all of us by name and types of drinks. I didn't care for one girl who told me and my sister we couldn't go to the buffet. I had on a cover and my swim suit is shorts type bottoms. My sister was wearing shirts. But this other girl only eating a bikini could go in. ..

Ship Quality

5 out of 5

Wear and tear was obvious, but kept up and very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

Ship tip

Enchantment has a great crew, very friendly. A relaxing cruise with a fun night life and lots to do.

Thumbs up

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

3 out of 5

I personally don't like Miami. No excursions, just dropping of rental and boarding the ship.

Thumbs Up 4

Nassau, Bahamas

5 out of 5

We did the Essential Nassau tour. We was a lot of fun. The rum cakes were delicious. The queen staircase was beautiful. Wonderful tour guide. Had a great time.

Thumbs Up 4

Cococay (Cruise Line's Private Island)

5 out of 5

Cococay is beautiful. I love this little island. Could care less for the birds trying to steal food.

Thumbs Up 4

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5

I love Key West and Permits Key Lime Pie. I did not enjoy the hop on hop off conch train. Our guide was horrible. Told us we had 25 minutes in one place, but tried to leave in 3 while my son was still in bathroom. I recommend old town trollies.

My son (13) did go to the Teen Central and made some friends. They did scavenger hunts and all kinds of games and received coupons for Ben and Jerry's. My niece ( 3) did not go to the Adventure Ocean. We did sign her, up, but with 6 adults, one of us always had her. I did see the children in there playing when I was looking for my son and the kids were having a great time. They had a pirate parade and it was so cute. I hope that's some helpful information.
