Review of Enchantment of the Sea, 4 Night Cruise Feb 9-13, 2006.
First, let me say that there were 4 of us in our cabin. Me (42 yr old lawyer), Jane (my wife and a teacher), Mary (daughter age 15) and Will (son age 13). We went on a Carnival cruise 19 years ago but more recently went on a Disney cruise 2 years ago and a Carnival cruise (Inspiration out of Tampa for 7 days to Western Caribbean) a year ago. November of 2005, we went on HAL Zuiderdam (that review is available under that ship). We had the same category cabin on each cruise. As I talk about things, I will often compare Disney, Carnival, HAL and RCCL. For those unused to some abbreviations, DD is Darling Daughter, DS is Darling Son and DW is Darling Wife (DH is Darling Husband but thankfully I do not have one of those!). I will refer to each days events at the end of the evening so some of my observations may be countered later in the review as we learn or see more. Hopefully you will read the whole thing. In addition, the purpose for this 4 night cruise was to celebrate my sisters 40th birthday so I will share their opinions on many topics as well.
There were 13 of us total (age range from 2 to 63). I will abbreviate Enchantment of the Seas as EOS so please dont confuse it with any other ship.
