We celebrated our 11 year anniversary with a cruise to the Bahamas aboard the Enchantment of the Seas. We are both in our mid-30s and enjoyed most of our time aboard the ship and off. We were meant to hit Coco Cay on the first day, but weather did not permit so we traveled straight to Nassau. However, the captain attempted Coco Cay on the way back and the winds were low enough that we could go!

Ship - this is an older, smaller ship compared to others out there, and in some places it does show its age, but I do not feel this hindered our impression of it. This may be because it's or first cruise and we didn't have the newer, larger ships to compare it to.

Entertainment - Honestly, none of the shows interested us, which was a bit of a bummer but we had fun elsewhere. We went to the Park West Art Auction, and while the seminar about 500 years of Art History was nice, we got suckered into the auction which showcased art we could not afford, and as my husband put it, felt like they were trying to sell us a timeshare the whole time in order to purchase art. There were some high rollers next to us who you could tell were art collectors, but unless you're really into art, I would advise not wasting your precious vacation time on it. TV had some good channels for the rare moments you were in your cabin for downtime. They also had some more recent movies playing, but at odd times.

Cabin Review

Large Inside Stateroom

Cabin L

I was pleasantly surprised by this cabin. I wasn't expecting so much room for an inside stateroom. Very clean, and well kept up by our stateroom attendant. It comes with the two twin beds that push together for a queen, one comfy chair, one glass coffee table that kinda gets in the way sometimes, but you do need a coffee table, plenty of storage (like, a crazy amount actually) flat screen TV, bathroom with sliding shower doors, and safe. You have plenty of room to move right when you walk in the door. Did not hear any noises unless someone was yelling while running down the hallway which probably only happened once, otherwise very quiet. The only complaint would be the bed was too firm for our liking.

LOVED the Blue Lagoon - water and sand were wonderful, food was very good, not a lot of people, beautiful place. Absolutely loved it.

Port Canaveral (Orlando)

While the lines are long, you get through embarkation fairly quickly.
