Review summary

This was a quick 3 night cruise with Royal. Enchantment is an older ship, which can be okay, but Enchantment is overdue for a refurbishment. Staff is awesome on the ship which helped with the worn-out feel of the ship.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

Embarkation was quick - we had printed out our sea pass cards at home and that made it super efficient.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5

We ate at all of the restaurants on the ship. Chops Grille was good but dis not wow us. The best thing on the menu was the tuna tartare appetizer - all of the sides offered were lackluster - the mashed potatoes tasted like they were from a box. We ate at the main dining hall for lunch during the day at Nassau and that was pretty good - the dessert was excellent and the meal was too! Overall we felt there was a lack of variety - same thing for breakfast at Windjammer every day - same thing for lunch.

Entertainment

5 out of 5

We watched a comedian who was funny on night one. On night two, the on-ship performers did a Broadway type show that was surprisingly entertaining and well-done. Then we watched a singer from the Jersey Boys on night three who was fantastic!

Ship Quality

2 out of 5

The ship is in need of a refurbishment and is showing its age. There was visible rust in many areas and the furniture looked worn. The layout was not the easiest and it took us a while to get to know the ship.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5

The cabin itself was clean and our steward Warren kept it spotless. The balcony was rusty and old - not worth paying up for a balcony on this ship.
