Review summary

The inside of Enchantment is great. Outside, not so much. I hate to say it, but a semi-rust bucket. Needs paint. I hate this because i really like this ship. I understand it is getting up there in age, but paint goes a long way. I here it is headed to dry dock after Galveston.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
The fastest I've ever done, however, only ship in port and she came in empty.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

3 out of 5
Food is decent. Nothing new to report. Not terribly important to me. I can find something I can eat.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
This isn't a huge, modern ship. It was fine for my needs.

Entertainment

4 out of 5
One of the best cruise directors. He interacted well with guests. One production show was average, the other was really good. Have seen it on another Royal ship.

Children's Programs

No kids, haven't a clue.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Best Diamond Concierge ever. The staff was just super.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
I like this smaller ship. Inside seems like more elbow room since they lengthened this ship. Sailed on her 21 years ago.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The ship is now 22 years old. They have updated things, but size and dome things are just from snother era. I haven't a problem with that. I wouldn't recommend the jr. Suites though on deck 8. Above you there are carts moving quite a bit in the wee hours, Especially on the port side. Above us is late night food service till 3am in the Solarium. Carts are moving!

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

3 out of 5
Galveston is limited by their location. You currently won't be going to anything exotic here. These cruises are about getting away for me personally. Not an issue.

Costa Maya (Mahahual), Mexico

4 out of 5

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5

George Town, Grand Cayman

3 out of 5
Just a bit of shopping,

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fastest disembarkation as well. Smooth as silk.

I’ve seen recent pictures and it does look a little rusty. I’m looking into going on it again in a couple of years. Hopefully it will get a dry dock before then.
