Despite a rainy start in Ft Lauderdale, the rest of the cruise was smooth sailing!! We were traveling with a group of 8. My partner, parents, sister, cousins from Germany and my best friend Debra T. - We had the Grand Suite. Once you've had one, it's hard to go back. Especially the "concierge club", which is a great place to meet and mingle. As a Diamond Member on RCCL, I have access to the club no matter which cabin I'm in. My other family members had the Jr. Suite and ocean view cabins. PS: Once you reach Diamond, the discounts for a balcony and above cabin is great! - Our ports were Key West, Cozumel and Belize. Key West is well, Key West. Not my favorite spot. We got off the ship long enough to get a chocolate dipped key lime pie on a stick. Yum! Then it was back to the ship for RR by the pool. - Next stop was Cozumel. We took a taxi to Chaakanaab. It was great! A $10.00 taxi ride and $25.00 entrance fee, which included your snorkel gear. Well worth the money. Very relaxing day there. Explore the property (faux ruins), the restaurants were good, lockers provided. However, beware that when you first arrive, there are people asking you to pose with their parrot and Iguana. They will charge you $5.00 for each photo. The photos were cute. Just be ready for that. I'd go back there in a heartbeat. - Belize City was ok. We did the Jungle River tubing excursion. It was a LONG ride to the excursion but very informative. Be careful of the HUGE fire ants on the walk back after the tube ride is over. The BBQ was good. I thought we were doing the cave tubing, so be clear on which one you book. On a prior Celebrity Cruise, we did the Barristers Island Snorkel tour. That was was a fun day, similar to a CocoCay. A remote key. Beautiful water, a bar, volley ball etc. You leave directly from the tendered ship to the key. - Over all I think the Enchantment is great ship for the money. Recently refurbished and looks brand new! The pool area was great! Chops Grill was awesome. Service was good. The spa was great (Seaweed wrap) and the gym was adequate over looking the stern. While it doesn't have the ice skating rink etc like the new ones, it's a great ship. - I look forward to taking my next cruise on RCCL Enchantment. However, it will be the Grand Cayman itinerary. Please email me if you have any questions. - David

The Grand Suite was "grand". You feel like you are in a high end hotel. Civilize cruising.
