Upon a suggestion from a friend I took my first cruise. My friend has only sailed Royal Caribbean so I gave it a chance! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised about the ship and mostly about the food quality and service on the Enchantment of the Seas.

DECOR Definitely dated in a mid-90s kind of way. The brass railings made it feel slightly cheap. Everyone in previous reviews complains that the ship looks worn. Well, this ship is probably 12 years old so what do you expect? The staff does a hell of a job keeping it clean, though.

CABINS We stayed in an inside stateroom #2575. Yes, the cabins are small but there is more than enough storage for your luggage, toiletries, and clothing. The beds were very comfortable and I was shocked that the sheets were so soft. I was expecting scratchy, low-thread count sheets but that wasn't the case. The only problem I had with the room was the bathroom. There was an overwhelming smell of urine and mold/mildew. I'm not sure if this is a symptom of being on a lower floor or if all rooms are like this. The entire 2nd floor had the same smell. Next time I may go for a higher-up floor and see if there is a difference. I bought an air freshener in Key West and that seemed to help.
