Sailed on the Enchantment Nov 21-26, 2005 for a 5 night Western itinerary (Key West, Cozumel, Belize). My husband & I (both in our 20s) were in a Jr. Suite on deck 8 and this was my 6th cruise.

I learned 2 valuable things on this cruise. 1) don't go on a holiday sailing!!!!! 2) less than 7 day cruises AREN'T the same as 7+ day cruises!

Let me explain a bit further. We sailed over Thanksgiving, a good idea at first glance. It was a packed cruise; I've never seen so many people on a cruise before! Many of these people were with their families and extended families so it seems fighting and emotional tempers were an issue . . . I saw so many unhappy people. This mood rubbed off on me and the ship employees. The employees all seemed annoyed, frustrated, and not very friendly. To top it off, there were hundreds of children. Young children running all over the ship. Literally. I paid a lot of money for a jr. suite, but it was located midship on deck 8. Right under the pool deck, deck 9. All day and surprisingly all night I heard running feet pounding overhead. DON'T EVER GET A ROOM BELOW THE POOL DECK! Read more
