I chose the cruise because it happened during the Memorial Day weekend. The alternative was to do Disney again, and I didn't want to do that. Cruises included your meals, while Disney requires that purchase of a Dining Plan to go w/the hotel stay.

Cruise Critic says that the "ship shows its age." Aside from being launched in '97 and having a broken hinge to a cupboard storage area of the cabin bathroom or the clingy shower curtain, I disagree w/Cruise Critic about how Enchantment "showed its age." I chose an outside double cabin that turned out to be somewhat convenient being on the same deck as the MDR (Deck 4). I say "somewhat convenient" because walking through that deck to get to the MDR was like walking through a maze: very confusing. I figured out to get to the MDR eventually. The ship has so many facilities that were new to me, like the Spotlight Lounge (like the Pharaoh's Lounge on Voyager) for such activities like the Quest Game Show. I didn't find the Spotlight Lounge until late Sunday night. I was greatly pleased w/the accommodations for disabled folks: I showed a lot of left leg pain (cramps) during the Muster Drill, and I was shown to a different station where there were many guests w/disabilities and their companions and available chairs--that alternate location was the Bolero's Club. I guess the next time I go on a cruise, I'll self-identify as a person who needs some assistance so that I can attend the Muster Drill at a lounge rather than standing for a long time.
