I chose this cruise because I wanted to try cruising on an older, smaller cruise ship with my kids. I saw a relatively cheap cruise from Baltimore, Maryland and booked it. My kids were a little disappointed as they were expecting to go on one of the newer cruise ships, but, nevertheless, they had a great time onboard. We entered the ship in the atrium, which really amazed us. For the size and age ...
Chose this cruise last minute as we were in Baltimore. Its been a few years since we sailed Royal. We are Emerald members. This old ship should be seriously docked permanently. the ship is rusted and smelly. Carpets need to Our cabin was next to a Utility room and every night we heard rumbling noises from our shower. And the smell of sewer. Bringing this up to our attendant and Guest Services was ...
This cruise had ship issues (freezing cold cabins and common areas) at the beginning of the cruise (first day and 1/2). The cruise staff did not communicate, and cruisers found out there was an issue when making calls to maintenance. One call we made to maintenance went unheeded although they promised to send someone to our cabin. We had 3 cabins and Royal provided credits two of our cabins at ...
Wanted to see Charleston SC and Coco Cay. It was ok and Poogan Porch was nice. I forgot my credit card and had some cash but not enough for whole bill. I am sending them the difference. Really didn't do a lot on the ship. Broadway shows were fine but I am not into variety and comics. The pool area is small, 2 pools so all the kids were in it most of the time. The solarium was fine but I like more ...
We ran into the hurricane. Ship floated outside of New York to Baltimore for 5 days. They did not show first run movie, made excuses for entertainment. Ran a movie at 6:pm to 9:00 pm and then there was no dinner. Had pizza at indoor pool. Food at Windjammer always cold. We usually sail NCL which has 24 hour O'Sheehans, so you can always get food. Royal needs a lot of attention, We went on ...
This was my first time on Royal. Probably will be my last unless I get a really cheap deal. The overall experience was average. Some things were fantastic, like the crew. I can't believe how happy, friendly and helpful all of the crew were.
Food was below par, worst of any cruise I've been on. In the MDR, most of the food came out cold on the first night. We informed the wait staff and they ...
First of all people are very friendly. Ship is in need of refurbishment badly. Mold in bathroom, furniture dirty, drawers banged up and lots of rust throughout ship. Entertainment was great. Food was sub Par breakfast in dining room took 1 1/2 hours. Food was delivered cold and orders messed up. Tried 3 times in 8 days same thing. Had to go to windjammer to only get lukewarm food. We made the best ...
We like to leave out of Baltimore, our kids drop us off so we avoid flying and all those hassles. We went on Grandeur of the Seas, which was very good and Enchantment is even better. We are in our 60's and so looking for a quiet experience with all the other 'grey hairs'. I saw maybe 3 or 4 kids and they must have been bored. It was a wonderful trip for what we were looking for, and the ...
I was on the Sept 8 sailing. Ship needs update with 1 specialty restaurant. It seemed like 75% of the passengers were seniors. I have never seen so many walkers, wheel chairs, and canes; as well as really sick and frail. I saw 2 babies and a couple of teenagers. The entertainment reflected that, with boring piano music, 50s dance party, etc. The vibe was Nursing Home. I was glad I did not ...
Enchantment is a great ship, smaller in size and easily navigable. If you are looking for bells and whistles with non-stop activities, it is not the ship for you. However, if you like a more traditional, relaxing cruise, then I highly recommend it. Others feel the same as I encountered a number of repeat passengers during the course of my trip. Although showing its age a little, Enchantment is ...
