My boyfriend and I were on Enchantment of the Seas from March 5th to 10th, 2005. The ports of call were Ocho Rios, Jamaica and George Town, Grand Cayman.

We flew into Ft. Lauderdale the morning of the 5th. We booked our own air thru Jet Blue, which was much cheaper than getting air thru RCCL. Our flight got into Ft. Lauderdale at around 10am. We took a cab to the pier for approx. US$10. We were very early - first ones there! We had to sit and wait quite some time to board the ship. Embarkation was a breeze and we were onboard by about 12:30pm. We packed in several carry on sized bags so we were able to carry our bags right onto the ship ourselves. This was great so that we did not have to wait for our luggage to arrive later that evening outside our room.

We enjoyed everything about this cruise. It was my second (first cruise was on Carnival back in '98) and my boyfriend's first. He definitely has the cruising bug and can't stop talking about booking another one! I really liked RCCL - much better than Carnival. We thought the Enchantment was beautiful - easy to get around. Walking around deck 5 was my favorite! I've read some reviews saying the ship is showing her age but we didn't feel that at all. She's in great shape and they keep her so clean. I can only imagine how great she will look later this year after she's stretched! We would definitely go on her again. Read more
