We were a little nervous about taking a cruise and had no experience Whatsoever but the price was right and we decided to try it!! Booked a 5 night February cruise aboard the Enchantment of the Seas departing out of Ft Lauderdale. I discovered and used the cruise critic board for all sorts of information from a pre departure hotel to what to do on excursions. The information there was priceless!! ...
My partner and I sailed on Enchantment of the Seas Nov 14- Nov 19, 2009. We have sailed this wonderful ship before and stayed in exactly the same cabin as last year. We have sailed with RCI 5 times, Celebrity 1 time(hopefully more to come) 4 times on Holland America and 1 bad cruise with Princess. We are not that thrilled about large ships, so Enchantment is a great fit for us. Our favorite ...
Pre-cruise - I originally booked airfare and transfers with my cruise but found a good deal on airfare so canceled the original and went down to Fort Lauderdale the day before. I HIGHLY recommend this if at all possible. I did this on my last cruise and it is so nice to relax and not have to worry about getting there the day of the cruise (I am SO glad I did not have the Thu cruise since there ...
My husband and I were celebrating our one year anniversary. Upon arriving to the port check in was very fast and we were on the ship in less than 15 minutes. We got something to eat at the windjammer and then put our stuff in our room. We sailed Halloween night and they had some great Halloween displays as well as trick or treating for the kids. The adult Halloween contest was full of people who ...
We 6 enjoyed the Enchantment of the seas mid October for the Midwestern Fall Break long weekend. We were happy to find a quickie 4 nighter to Key West, Cozumel, and out of Fort Lauderdale. Since it was our 3rd cruise this year we decided to save some money and booked very inexpensive insider cabins (3 of them) on the second deck.
Yes the menus are the same as the last 2 cruises on the ...
Background: Previous cruises on HAL, NCL, Princess and (ancient history) Costa and Sun Lines. First cruise on RCCL. Preferred cabin: Aft Suite, but on this cruise, chose a starboard Owners Suite due to great deal and timing of the voyage. (Birthday)
New Terminal: Departing on 10/26, we were the first passengers to embark on a cruise from the new terminal 18. The terminal is being ...
Embarkation was great. We drove down from Atlanta and arrived early, around 11:00 AM, and were greeted with smiles. We were eating lunch in the Windjammer by 11:30. At 1:00 sharp we went to our room. Our luggage arrived shortly after. We decided to participate in the "My Time Dining" program. You can choose to dine anytime between 6:00 and 9:30 pm each evening. We really liked out waiter ...
So far, I've written a review for each cruise that I've been on. This one was one of the best, even though it is the shortest cruise we've been on.
We flew down to Fort Lauderdale Airport (FLL) on Air Tran, checking one bag ($15) for the cruise. We used Air Tran because of the early morning non-stop flight for a good price. The flight went well, although the zone boarding concept is dumb, in my ...
This was our 3rd cruise and 1st on RC. Overall we were pleased and had a great time, but I was annoyed at a few things. I realize that cruise ships make most of their money while guests are on board. My husband and I are more than happy to purchase bottles of wine at dinner and drinks while at the pool, and being from NYC, we think the prices are reasonable - in fact some seem cheaper than what ...
We just returned from a 5-night cruise which included Grand Cayman Island and Cozumel, Mexico. The Enchantment of the Seas is a beautiful ship. Our inside cabin on the fourth level was fine for the two of us. The mattress was firm but very comfortable. The room was small but fine considering we literally just slept and dressed there. It was a bit cold, but I was finally able to manage the ...
