Review summary

We usually sail Carnival so we had a lot of comparisons with this being our first Royal Caribbean cruise. Both have their pros and cons. Some say Carnival is the "party ship." After sailing Royal Caribbean, I feel that they are about both the same. It's all in the branding. However, Royal Caribbean did seem to have a more traditional atmosphere in the decorating of their ships.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

No waits whatsoever

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

Excellent food. Less choices than Carnival. Perhaps it was due to the smaller size of the ship (Enchantment of the Seas)

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5

Smaller ship. Less activities compared to Carnival.

Entertainment

I did not attend these.

Children's Programs

No children traveling with our party.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5

There were some problems initially, but they seemed to go over and above to make them right.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

When looking at the exterior of the ship, I was concerned. Much rust and it did not appear to be well cared for. However, the interior of the ship was very nice.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5

Overall, fairly nice. Enjoyed the oceanview window. There was a tear in the wall covering.

Ship tip

If you are looking for a smaller crowd to travel with, this ship is for you. If you are wanting a wide variety of food and activities, this ship is not for you.
