Sail Date: Oct 2013

We are diamond members and haven't been on Enchantment since 2002 (prefer Radiance class). I will try to include info about our pre-cruise plans, the ship, Adventure Ocean, and Coco Cay.

We arrived at MCO and rented a car from Avis. No wait at the counter. They told us which parking space to go to and the keys were in it and we were on our way. We did not take the insurance, but we did pay the extra 6 per day for the roadside assistance. Made sure the transponder was in the off position as we were paying exact change for the 2 tolls. The first toll was 1.00 and the second one was 1.25 (although we were told they would both be 1.25 so be prepared. Went through the change lane and threw our quarters in.

We chose Double Tree in Cocoa Beach. It's on the beach, has a restaurant, Publix grocery/pharmacy across the street, and very nice clean rooms. We had a 2 room suite. (king and tv for us, sofa bed and tv in the living room for our kid).

Cabin Review

Our room had plenty of storage. The balcony was very nice with 2 chairs, a table, and 2 loungers. No noise at all. Bathtub and shower worked excellent. The new vessel sink with the tiny faucet was annoying. Our cabin steward was amazing. We had medicine that needed chilled for our son. He kept ice in our little cooler twice a day, plus he left extra ice in the ice bucket. The refrigerator would not get cold enough. We even had maintenance look at it, but they said it was not designed to keep medicine cold, just a slight chill on beverages. (I did not think the beverages felt cold at all). The room was great, but I agree the mattresses were hard. It felt like laying on a slab on concrete. My hips were hurting and I even noticed our steward put a double layer of mattress pad under the sheets to help, but it didn't help much. The only other comment about the junior suite is it is smaller than the junior suites on the Radiance class. No walk-in closet either.
