Enchantment of the Seas Review

Additional details
This was our first cruise ever and was pleasantly surprised. I was originally a little reluctant because of some of the previous reviews I read. Because of this, I decided that I would write up a review of my experience for other first time cruisers. My husband and I are in our mid 40’s and have a 15 year old daughter.
Pre-Hotel – Since we were flying into Port Canaveral from Denver, we booked a room the day before just to make sure we made it to the port in time. We stayed at the Courtyard Cocoa Beach Cape Canaveral. It was a nice hotel and was walking distance to the beach. Cocoa Beach was clean and uncrowded.
Ship information – We arrived at Port Canaveral around noon and the check-in was a breeze. We heard that there was a long line earlier in the morning (check in started at 11:00). We reserved a Jr. Suite room. We knew that we did not get all of the perks that the other suites got, but we did get priority check-in which was great. There was still a pretty long line and we were able to go right to the front. Staff greeted us as soon as we got on the boat and directed us to the Windjammer for some lunch. Be prepared for a lot of people. Rooms were not available until around 1:00 or so, so most of the guests are here. As soon as the rooms were ready, it cleared out quickly. The ship was clean and well taken care of for the age. I can’t imagine what the newer ones are like.
Cabin Review
This room is located close to one of the elevators/stairs. I thought is would be noisy because it is close to the Boleros Lounge which has a lot of activities but you could not hear anything until you opened your door. It does not have a pole in the middle of the room like a lot of the Jr. Suites which is nice. I did notice some noise coming from the floor above (pool area) like people running at times but it was not bad. There is a desk with a chair, two other chairs, a large closet, a good size bathroom for a ship (with a full size tub) and a balcony with chairs and a table. The bathroom has shampoo, conditioner, bath gel, bar soap, lotion along with a liquid soap on the wall. There is a hairdryer. The shower head was adjustable and the handle could be taken of the base. I would recommend this room.
