This was my first cruise, and I wasn't keen on the idea. This is a random dump of my thoughts. We sailed about two months ago, but it's all still fresh on my mind.

Arriving at the port and initial boarding was not inspiring and it's obvious that the Enchantment is an older ship, but that quickly faded. I can't imagine the maintenance force they need to keep everything they was they do. At least twice in three days I saw a guy dusting the underside of the railings in between floors in the main lobby area.
