Flight to Baltimore was good on AA. Stayed at Admiral Fell Inn. Nice stay and much to do. Spent Saturday, prior to the cruise, in D.C. on a guided tour. Had a good time. Spent Easter in Inner Harbour.
Embarkation: The worse we ever had. Spent over 2.5 hours in line to go through security. Brought 2 botlles of wine and was told that wine was not allowed. When we said yes it was now, we were ...
We are mid 60's, fairly active, and enjoy travel. This was our 26th cruise. We selected this ship based on itinerary and price. Also, since we live in Michigan and fly to the ports, we try to book 10 days or longer. We flew into Baltimore the day prior to the cruise and stayed at Spring Hill Suites on Redwood Street. Taxi from BWI to hotel was about $35. It is a very nice hotel, and we had ...
My husband and I have been on a dozen or so cruises over the years, and this sailing out of Baltimore was a bargain, especially since we could drive to the Port. The departure was effortless and we were on-board snacking in the Windjammer Buffet within about 30 minutes of getting dropped off at the port! I had tried to change our cabin a few days before sailing and was informed that it was a full ...
First the good stuff.
The ship is super, clean, nice decor, smooth sailing, loved the solarium, etc.
Staff- wonderful!!! Can't think of any negatives.
Drinks - good
Islands - WOW!
Check in - smooth
I really like the no-smoking policy in the casino on formal nights. Great idea - now lets make it a few more nights!!
Now the bad stuff.
I don't want to come across as nit-picky BUT it ...
We really enjoyed our cruise - wonderful ship, excellent service by the staff, comfortable accomodations. My husband and I were on the Enchantment for the 12-night Eastern Caribbean cruise that left Baltimore on January 14, 2013. This is only our second cruise - the first was on Holland America for the Alaskan Inside Passage cruise, so our observations are from cruise neophytes.
Embarkation: ...
This was a 12 day southern Caribbean cruise on Enchantment of the Seas out of Baltimore. As we live an hour away from the port, we drove to the pier and took advantage of the $15 a day parking. Nothing like being able to walk off the ship when the cruise is over, get in the car, and head for home. We arrived around 11:30. Baggage handling and parking went smoothly. Once in the terminal the ...
I have sailed with RCI over 50 times, with a number of those trips on Enchantment. I like Enchantment as it is one of RCI's smaller ships and has a Concierge Lounge - both of which are important to me. Embarkation in Baltimore is easy, terminal is a short, $40, taxi ride from BWI, embarkation formalities were easy and quick, now if only RCI would do something about its very delayed (on all ships) ...
We just returned from a 12 night sailing out of Baltimore to the Southern Caribbean. Previously we had sailed out of NYC in the winter on both Holland American and the Explorer of the Seas. For a change of pace, we decided to try sailing from Baltimore as we are equidistant from both NY and Baltimore.
Arrival at the port was quite easy. We dropped off our luggage and proceeded into the ...
This was our second cruise with Royal Caribbean, and the second on board the Enchantment of the Seas. We live in Virginia Beach, so not having to fly to the port is an advantage. My parents were celebrating their 40th anniversary and the last time they cruised was 37 years ago. We were traveling with our 5 yr old son as well.
We stayed the night before in the Holiday Inn Express by the Stadiums ...
This was a Southern Caribbean cruise with a large group of folks from Cruise Critic, many we had sailed with in 2009.We arrived at the port around 11am and the parking lot at the port was backed up for some reason; it was an hour before we were even able to park. Other than that embarkation went smoothly. We had an oceanview cabin on deck four, right behind the Champagne Bar. Not the world's ...
