Review summary

We thoroughly enjoyed our first cruise. We hated to leave. The staff is amazing, they spoil you. We ate in My Fair Lady dining room and it was amazing. Our servers were Joseph and Jimmy, managed my Erhan! They made our dining experience wonderful. Our room steward was Rolando on the 8th deck. Such a sweetheart, always made sure we were all set. My only complaints would be the ship was dated, the casino was smoky, we are non smokers, and the hot tubs were always full. Those things would not discourage me from going again.

Ship tip

Bring money to tip your servers and room steward, they really spoil you and deserve more then the 18% added gratuity

Nassau, Bahamas

3 out of 5

We did a private tour with Keith Bryan of Supreme Taxi and Tour services. The port itself was ok, kind of overwhelming. All the shops were the same to me.

Thumbs Up 3

Key West, Florida

5 out of 5

Thought Key West was cute, had hoped for better beaches and swimming. We did the Hop on Hop off trolly service which was convenient. We mostly browsed shops for the day

We took our first cruise on the Enchantment melanie1177. Everything you said was right and we loved it so much that my wife, her friend, (who is also named Melanie) and our boys didn't want to leave the ship. We have since cruised on the Oasis and will be back on it this December.....

Royal Caribbean has always been great for us. We love the dining rooms, so elegant, being waited on, menus with no prices and no bill at the end!!! Oh yes, and all you can eat all the time!

First Time Will Be Last Time With Royal Caribbean

My family and I loved every minute of it. All the staff was very helpful and were so nice. We will definitely be taking another Cruise.

Great Caribbean Cruise
