This was one of the more exciting cruises, bad seas and detours, but it was fun, fun, fun. There was a lot of activity planned even the seas were rough, but crew and other ship personnel were kind, helpful, and very upbeat. Loved this trip!!!!!

Review summary

Wonderful! Am doing it again next year. Enchantment is a great ship for this trip. There were a multitude of countries represented on this voyage. Enjoyed speaking with Germans, Canadians, South Americans, people from United Kingdom, Denmark, as well as the polyglot crew.

Ship Quality

It's a little older and needs some updating, but more than adequate.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

Very good, wonderful location, and much to see through the windows on days the sea was too rough to go out on the decks.

Ship tip

Having sailed Enchantment before, all locations are fine. Depends on what you are personally looking for.

Disembarkation

3 out of 5

Somewhat confusing, ticket numbers were called, but after leaving the ship, the port personnel would not let people into baggage claim area stating the bags were not there. However, they were, but they seemed to give Pinnnacle and Key priority even though other numbers had been called. Found this a little disturbing and unusual.
