Ship experiences

The food and staff at each dining location was wonderful. Food- many tasty choices. Staff - helpful, kind, and attentive.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
There were many activities to keep you busy on Enchantment of the Seas. Sometimes you would have to quickly leave one to get to another. The open space of the Centrum levels made watching an activity as much fun as participating in that activity. Here are some of the activities: Learning to draw, Word Search, Coloring at Sea, Art Auctions, Raffles', Trivia, badminton, MOB Dance, Enrichment Lectures, Karaoke, and sunbathing!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows were great! Welcome show with comedian George Kanter, Can't Stop the Rock musical, juggler Albert Lucas, Love and Marriage show, Stage to Screen production show, and Impressionist Paul Boland were the shows I attended. Each was great but Albert Lucas was fantastic!

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
The service at My Fair Lady was top notch! (Dinner and Breakfast). At Windjammer, we were treated to juice and hot tea service (each visit, Yuli) at breakfast and lunch. Jenny, our room steward was kind and helpful. Customer Service (three visits-help with the ships App., help with debarkation set up, and a general question. Each was met with smiles and resolutions.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
The ship has an open layout in the center of the ship. The seven story atrium is pretty and a great way to have many people see one activity at the same time. Have a seat and a drink, reada book, or talk with a new friend. This is a great area to be in. All area of the ship were clean and well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
While small, the cabin was comfortable. Always clean and ready for our return. Not much bathroom counter space and no refrigerator we did made good use of bathroom space and could have ice delivered.

Ship tip

No self serve laundry - wash/dry/iron. Must send out, for a fee.

Walk off the ship and enjoy the port. Shopping, walking about taking in the culture, and having a meal and drink at Los Angeles Cafe Bar & Restaurant.

Philipsburg, St. Maarten

5 out of 5
You can walk about the port right from the ship or walk or water taxi to Downtown. Lots to see and do either way.

St. John's, Antigua

5 out of 5
The city is a short walk from the ship. Wonderful shops all around. Stop to talk with any of the ladies that sell keychains and magnets and they will gladly share the history of the island.

Bridgetown, Barbados

5 out of 5
Shuttle bus picks you up at the ship and takes you to the depot stop, or you could take a nice long walk. Here you may do all of your shopping for gifts!

Basseterre, St. Kitts

5 out of 5
Walk off the ship and go sightseeing, shop or visit a museum. Have a drink at Cheers, before and after shopping! Take time to talk with the islanders. They have so much information to share, willingly!

Disembarkation
