After tons of time spent pouring over reviews in preparation for our family cruises, I've finally decided to sign up & offer up one of my own reviews. The information I've received from other people's posts have been very helpful, so time to pay it forward. This was my 5th cruise (2nd with Royal Caribbean, and 3 with Carnival), 1st time on the Enchantment of the Seas.

Day 1 (Friday): We flew Southwest Airline into Orlando the morning of the cruise. Landed at 10:15, rented a car with EZ Car Rentals at the airport (pre booked) & drove to the Park N Cruise lot (also pre-booked), arriving at 12:30. It was actually cheaper to rent the cheapest car & leave it at the Park N Cruise location than in was to pay for a transfer with cruise line or taxi. This also gave us a car for the day we returned since our flight out wasn't until 7PM. Park N Cruise was very easy to work with. Pulled up, gave them our reservation # & keys, waited for about 15 minutes for their shuttle to take us to the ship. Arrived at the ship in about 7-8 minutes and dropped off our luggage with the porter (Park N Cruise even had staplers & stapled our cruise luggage tags on for us). We got in line at 1:00 to board, had our sea passes & passports in hand, got our picture taken & received our sign & sail cards. At 1:35 were were walking onto the ship.

Room: Large stateroom with window on deck #3 midship (room 3068). Surprised that we felt absolutely no movement or heard any noises at night. A first for us out of our 5 cruises. Typical stateroom. Small couch, full length mirror, mirrored dresser/table with drawers. Plenty of closet space (open room under beds to store suitcases & shoes too) Typical small bathroom. Liked that the shower had a closing door instead of a shower curtain. Not very hot water. Beds were ok as far as comfort, pillows very soft. Our bedding was a little dated with a couple of stains.
