Review summary

It was a nice break. The seas were rough. Couldn't go outside really until the first sea day. Everything was good. I feel Progreso is not a good stop because there doesn't seem to be anything to do there.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
No one in line, basically no wait other than navigating through all the rooms

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
We ate in the main dining room for each dinner. The meals were very nice. The food was good every night. The buffet needs to be revamped or rearranged, There were so many people in there at once, basically no real line because at each end of the round center serving area, there were signs that indicated to go one way but when you got half way around, you overlapped with the people on the other side, and then people were cutting in, etc. Needs to be changed to create a better flow. The food was good, lots of variety.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
WE played bingo every day (shout out to Connie, the bingo lady who was AWESOME!), participated in some of the games trying to figure out songs from the 80's, song titles with colors, etc. It was fun. We also did some of the dancing games which my 11 year old granddaughter really enjoyed. There is plenty to do. No one should be bored.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
All of the evening shows in the theater were very good. The juggler from America's Got Talent (Charles ???) and singer from American Idol (Lou Gazarra) were outstanding. The ships singers/dancers were good also.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
Mostly very good but there were little things that happened, not really a big deal like not enough towels, no bath mat (I had to ask for one more than once after I had already put it on the floor, then in the evening it would disappear).

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
Everything was clean, some of the areas for the games were not big enough to accomodate all the people who attended. There is normal wear and tear but nothing major. I would go on Enchantment again.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
It worked out fine for us. It was clean. Need more electrical plugs.

Ship tip

If you feel motion sickness, you can get medication at the guest services desk free of charge.

Ports of call

Galveston, Texas

5 out of 5
Just embarked and disembarked.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

2 out of 5
Not much to do. Did an excursion to a cenote natural reserve that was super disappointing. Went to the beach which was just ok.

Cozumel, Mexico

4 out of 5
Went to Chankanaab but it rained nearly the entire time.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
The instructional letter was a bit confusing. We were supposed to go to the main dining room but when we got there we could already leave. I suggest doing the disembarkation where you take your own luggage, much faster than the old style of waiting to pick it up outside the terminal.
