Enchantment of the Seas Cruise Reviews - Reviews

Made a good first impression on us. Hope to do it again. Great food, overwhelming amount of things to do if you wish, we mainly relaxed. Cabin was clean and we were well looked after. We wanted a cabin that would be quiet and pretty much got that thanks to the agent who helped us. Wished to have stayed one more day at Coco Cay, great beaches, food, and snorkeling. Nassau was just ok, we didn't not do a lot of activities there, went on a 2.5 hour guided city tour and shopped a little. Over all though it was good experience for us.

The cruise price does not reflex what you will pay in the end. Add $60.00 for parking, 14$ a day for gratuity(that is for each day, including the day you leave the boat at 7AM ) over price and over taxed drinks and quickly we began to figure that this was not for us. Most of the food is terrible and the pool on the boat is smaller than my condo complex pool. My very first and last cruise

My husband and I were looking for a last minute cruise to celebrate Father's Day. We found and it exceeded our expectations of relaxation! From arrival to Port Canaveral to boarding the ship! The expedient check in and settling into our room was beyond excellent. Cant think of one complaint everything was perfect including the weather! 

Prepare to be nickeled and dimed to death, there is a fee for every little thing. Food was good desserts were nasty. The stops were beautiful the only problem is all these tour guides and people trying to sell you things. Room service attendant took really good care of us. When we had a question we asked her for instructions. Great price. Pay the gratuity charge up front so that you aren't blindsided by it. Don't bring liquor on board they'll hold it until the end and charge ridiculous prices to bring theirs. $7 for a redd's apple ale (really). Would rather fly to destination, but did enjoy being in a different place every night.

Our room was spacious, as we opted for  balcony suite.  But it was dirty, hand markings over the bed and sand all in the carpet and the shower curtain was brown from mildew.  The food was better than I expected, as the dining room staff was very attentive, the server even cut up my children's steak fr them.  I also had purchased a premium beverage card and the drinks were a little weak but as far as I could see they were using top shelf liquor and it included the Starbucks on the ship.  The pool space was EXTREMELY SMALL!!!!!!! We didn't even attempt to go in it as it was so crowded and the decking was soooo hot you would get a third degree burn from stepping on it.  Also the kids activities were always full so none of our four kids could do any of the activities and the rock wall was closed AND the bungy jump was closed, so they get a BIG two thumbs down for that.  As far as the ports we visited, Nassua Bahamas is TERRIBLE, a shanty town full of hustlers attacking you as you get off the ship, then we went to Atlantis Resort and they wanted to charge us 700.00 to go in their water park for two hours!  Needless to say we did not do that so we went back to the beach were it is was littered with broken glass.  My recommendation is to just stay on the ship.  Cococay was beautiful, we did a jet ski tour which was ok.  They gave us a very good BBQ lunch on the resort as well.  My recommendation would to be get off the ship EARLY and book ypur excursions right away, because if you don't you will not get a reservation, as it is first come first serve and it fills up quick.  We tried to go para sailing and tried to book it at 12 noon and EVERYTHING was booked for the day.  Overall an ok trip but not worth the 6000.00 price tag we paid for 2 adults and 4 kids!

Me and my wife enjoyed ourselves, but for what we paid, we expected more.  The boat needs some serious updating for one.  The food was hit or miss, especially the breakfast in the Windjammer...but I know that they make it in bulk for a lot of people, so it is not going to be great.  The dinner in My Fair Lady was mostly good, the duck and eggplant parmigiana was great.  There was no rain when we were on the boat, so all of the entertainment and the pool was available the whole time. There were quite a few things to do, but it felt like there could be more options during the day.  We were done in the Bahamas and Cocokay before the time we had to be back on the boat, and when we got back on we ended up hanging out in our room and sleeping for a few hours because there was nothing else to do.  We had fun with some of the night activities, Love and Marriage and The Quest were the most fun things we did during the cruise.  We would cruise again, but only on a different boat, and if we pay less than we did for this one.

Spent three days on Enchantment of the Seas to Nassau.  The ship shows sign of age but overall it was a nice experience.  The buffet area was small and became very crowded.  The amount people versus sitting area was very hard to find a seat.  You passed on getting an omlette or eggs cause the one line was way too long to wait.  The rooms showed there age but at the same time were well maintained.  RCCs private island Coco Cay was very nice and I was quite surprised.  It was spacious and being tendered was not an issue.  The staff was top notch and for three days this was a fun time.  If I chose a seven day I would want a larger boat.  But overall a great cruise.

While the staff was friendly, accommodating and professional, the ship itself needs a major overhaul.  While in the women's restroom nearest the casino, the door fell totally off the hinges next to me.  Our cabin (which I paid extra for a Junior Suite) was hardly any larger than a regular cabin on most ships....plus there was rust everywhere on the balcony and the door handle leading onto the balcony was broken.   This was my fifth RCL cruise and still my favorite line, but I'd never take a cruise on the Enchantment ever again.   I'll opt for the newer, larger ships.

room service and dinging service is very good. Excellent work done by the dining arrangement lady!

Need more entertainment equipment like mini golf or playing machines.

This was my second cruise, my 18 year old daughter's first cruise. However this was my first Royal Caribbean Cruise and I have to tell you that royal Caribbean is the way to go. We enjoyed everything about the cruise. But if we were going on a longer cruise like a week long I would want a larger ship with more activities. The only thing I would change is that I would book a shore excursion for the Bahamas. We did the enjoy our time in Port. But our time on coco cay island was incredible and the highlight of that day. I can't wait to book my next cruise!

The ship is somewhat old and somewhat small, like most shorter cruises. The staterooms were outdated and worn. The carpet looked dingy from wear and the tiles and shower in the bathroom did as well. The service was excellent! Our stateroom attendant, Elvin was very helpful and friendly. Our dinning room servers, Carla & Sachin were also excellent. They remembered our drink preferences and were very friendly and helpful! The food was excellent, but the portions were somewhat small. The hours for the Windjammer and the Cafe were annoying. I also did not like that if the cafe was closed, you could not get drinks even though it was a self-serve station. This is not a problem on Cranival's cruise ships. Also, the buffett-style dining area is not like a food court like you see on Carnival's ships. This means that the whole thing is closed at times, whereas on Carnival you may see a station or two closed at a time, not the whole dining area, which I liked better. The entertainment on the ship was excellent! The singers & dancers put on very good shows! The other acts--comedian & juggler--were also very good. The band & orchestra were also very good. There were a lot of excellent art pieces to look at throughout the ship. The adult area was well patrolled to keep kids out, which was nice. The adult area also has a pool and is larger than on similar sized Carnival ships. The amenities on board were somewhat lacking. It would have been nice to have putt-putt golf, billiards, or bowling on board. The poolside movies were nice, but variety would have been better. They repeated some movies during the cruise. Coco Cay is amazing! It is well developed with amenities right on the island. Overall, the cruise was nice for the money, but it may be worth it to spend a little more on a newer, nicer ship with more amenities. At Nassau we did the Forts & Pirates tour. I would not recommend it. There is not much to see at the forts as they are not very big. The pirate museum contained mostly replicas and very little actual artifacts. It was a major disappointment. If I go back I would go to Atlantis. The Nassau area is a little sketchy, but the beach is within walking distance if you do not want to spend the cash to go to Atlantis. At CoCo Cay, we did the kayaking excursion which was excellent. We also did the Treasure Hunt Snorkeling. I didn't order the kayaking & snorkeling combo because it was still listed as 1.5 hrs and I wanted to be able to snorkel at leisure. I thought maybe that was a tour group. Don't waste money doing that, the combo packs give you access to the snorkel gear the whole day, so it's worth buying it in a combo to save money. CoCo Cay was amazing! They brought food from the ship, so you did not have to go back. It was also nice to beach while feeling secure because there were only people from the ship on the island. 

Would never book through cruises only again though, they repeatedly messed up the payments we made toward the cruise and never coordinated the ground transportation, even though it was paid for. We waited 3 hours to get picked up from the airport and had to get on the phone for an hour the night before to make sure the next things were getting handled, and had to pay out of pocket and get a refund for some because they dropped the ball. The Royal Caribbean part though was really great. I loved the boat, the food and the activities. We picked some pricey shore excursions (dolphin cay at Atlantis and Aquaventure and stingrays at Coco Cay) but I really liked the island and the cruise portion of our combined Universal / Royal Caribbean package.

We had a very nice time on our first cruise.  The room was very nice and surprisingly comfortable for the size.  The crew was friendly and helpful and the food was great.  My one negative is that all of the pools were not accessible by walk in stairs, but instead you had to use a ladder to get in and out.  This is fine, but I had some physical issues that made this difficult.  This meant I couldn't use the pools and this really was a downer. 

Customer service needs to be improved .Some staff members need to realize our trip pay there salary.This my third cruise and I would recommend Carnival Cruise.

Had a wonderful time. The ship is a little dated. The customer service was excellent except on formal night when we were doing pictures, the photographer was very nasty with us. But otherwise the staff was very accommodating. They remembered our names which I really like that personal touch.  

I like the cruise on the Enchantment Of The Seas,because it was very relaxing. I also enjoyed the nightly entertainment the professionalism of the staff and the food was great.

This is our first cruise with Royal Caribbean, previously we cruised with Carnival. We were very pleased with the boarding and departing of the ship. We have a son with special needs and we were worried about how he would do. The boarding was a breeze. Although this is an older ship, it was very clean and beautiful. Staff was wonderful. The only two disappointments we encountered was the room service choices were terrible, and the unloading at Coco Cay was very long. The room service was the worst I've experienced anywhere. Only a handful of choices and nothing kid friendly or anything I even liked. The cruise director stated that getting off the ship would be easy at Coco Cay. We went to get off the boat at 10:00, as we had an 11:00 shore excursion. He recommended getting off the boat 30 minutes prior to excursions. It's a good thing my instincts told me otherwise. The line was wrapped around from floor #1 all the way up to floor 4. People were hot and anxious after waiting so long. Our son did ok, thankfully but I was very worried. Aside those two experiences, the trip was great. The shows were amazing, and the main dining room was fantastic.

This cruise was wonderful!!  1st vacation in 3 years, could not have picked a better thing to do.  Sleep Eat and sail into ports that we have never seen.

Nassau was a surprise, I'm a shoppers and found better deals in the states.

Cococay was enchanted and restful.   The boat was clean everyone was gracious and catered to every need.

The cruise was great! Fun for all age groups! Food was amazing, service was great as well. Plenty to do while on board, didn't have to leave the ship unless you wanted to. The only negative thing was the "guest service" area was always crowded with long lines. I enjoyed the dancing with the stars! Make sure you bring picture money, they took the most amazing pictures, I had to buy them all, quite pricey but worth it! Overall, I had a great time.

We had an AWESOME time!   I wanted to spend some quality time with my daughter, and that's just what happened.  We had SO much fun!  The weather was great!  The food was delicious!  The only thing that we did not like was the outdoor movie screen.  Maybe 1 movie would have been ok, but Sunday there were 3, and they were all repeats of the other 2 nights.  We did not watch any of them and would have preferred to listen to music.  I also want to say it was GREAT getting away from cell phones, internet and technology.
