I'm the type who reads every available review before stepping on board a cruise ship; I just don't like surprises when my valuable vacation time is involved. In the case of Enchantment of the Seas the reviews were all over the place and I had a difficult time figuring out where the "Hated everything" and the "Love everything" people came together. Even with this confusion we booked the cruise and took the chance. It was because of this grey area that I paid so much attention to the details in preparation of my own review.
As a point of reference, my wife and I are 49 and 50 and decided to take our college age children on one last family vacation before significant others began showing up and their lives took different paths. This was our second cruise so we had a good idea of what we wanted out of it. My wife and I had a cabin with a veranda and the 3 adult kids shared an inside cabin, both on deck 8.
Embarkation was a breeze and Port Canaveral staff knows how to get you onto the ship quickly. During the short time we waited I met a group of people celebrating their high school graduations from Coco High School in1963 through 65. We talked and laughed and I learned some very interesting sign language.
The room was clean and well taken care of. There was please of suit case storage under the bed and there was more than enough draws for clothing to be unpacked. The bathroom isn't the largest I've ever seen but it was in good shape and had everything we needed. We had all the hot water we needed. The veranda was a perfect size for us and you could have fit 6 people standing out there if you wanted to. Plenty of television channels to check out and the AC worked great. The bed was a surprise, loved it. Didn't hear any noise from anywhere and there was no one to bother us.
