My review of our April 9, 2007 five day Western Caribbean cruise on Enchantment to Key West, Cozumel, and Belize.

Let me start by saying this is my fourth cruise and my wife's third. All our previous cruises where on Carnival. Since this being our first RCL, I was a bit worried because we where getting married on the ship and a bit worried about not knowing RCL. But everything worked out great. My comparison of Carnival and RCL is that Carnival is certainly the fun ship and RCL is the laid back and elegant ship. Carnival will let you party hardy and drink until your drunk, but RCL cuts that down considerably. RCL won't even let you bring or sneak alcohol onto the ship. Can you believe that? I have brought alcohol onto plenty of Carnival ships without a problem. But besides this our RCL cruise was excellent.

First Day - Had a beautiful wedding and was very surprised to see RCL photographer taking a lot of pictures during the wedding. I felt like a superstar. I would later find out that the extra pictures would be offered to us if we wanted the extra 100 or more. Of course we did and we purchased 40 more because most of the shots where very similar. I was surprised at how good a photographer she was. I believe her name was Fern and she said that she is on an 8 month job with RCL and that she only takes picture, apparently so, because she did an excellent job. Read more
