Welcome Aboard Enchantment of the Seas

Introducing Enchantment of the Seas, a classic member of the Royal Caribbean fleet that offers a more intimate and manageable way to explore the Caribbean. As part of the Vision class, this ship prioritizes a classic cruising experience that feels approachable and easy to navigate, making it a wonderful choice for those who prefer a traditional ship layout over the massive, sprawling designs of newer mega-ships.


The Atmosphere

The mood on board is relaxed and unhurried, reflecting a sense of charm that encourages you to slow down and enjoy the sunshine. Because the ship is smaller than the latest additions to the fleet, you’ll find it easy to get around, creating a friendly environment where you can quickly become familiar with your surroundings. It’s a perfect space for guests who want to trade the busy, high-energy bustle of larger ships for a more personal and quiet getaway.


Elevated Experiences

While the ship focuses on a classic experience, you can still find comfort and extra touches by selecting one of the available suites or participating in the Crown and Anchor loyalty programme. These options provide guests with additional recognition, priority access to certain amenities, and a heightened level of service throughout the journey.


Signature Highlights

  • The adults-only Solarium offers a serene retreat with a retractable glass roof, providing a climate-controlled space to relax regardless of the weather.

  • Dining options include the refined Chops Grille, where you can enjoy prime cuts of meat and fresh seafood in a sophisticated, traditional steakhouse setting.

  • The high-octane rock climbing wall provides a signature thrill, allowing guests to challenge themselves while taking in expansive views of the ocean.

  • Broadway-style performances in the theatre showcase high-energy song and dance numbers that bring the excitement of the stage to the sea.

  • The ship features multiple dedicated lounges and bars, such as Boleros, which invites you to experience live music and Latin-inspired entertainment.


What Stands Out

What truly makes this ship stand out is its enduring charm and the ease of the guest experience. We recommend it because it offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a classic cruise style without the overwhelming scale found on newer, larger ships. The focus here remains on the fundamentals of a great vacation, including attentive service, accessible deck layouts, and an itinerary-first approach that makes every port of call feel like a special discovery.


Who Is This Ship For

Enchantment of the Seas is an excellent choice for couples and smaller families who value convenience and a more relaxed pace of travel. It is a natural fit for guests who prefer a ship where they can easily find their favourite spots and navigate between decks without needing a map. These guests will especially appreciate the quieter corners of the ship, the straightforward entertainment options, and the ability to focus on quality time together at sea or in port.


The Cruise Advisor's Insider Tip: Be sure to head to the Viking Crown Lounge at sunset, as the panoramic windows offer the most spectacular views on the ship for your evening cocktail.

How We Rate Enchantment of the Seas

The Cruise Advisor gives Enchantment of the Seas a 3 out of 6. This rating reflects the ship’s position as a classic, mid-sized vessel that serves a specific need for travellers who prefer a more traditional experience over the latest technological innovations. While it lacks the wide variety of expansive features found on the newer, larger ships, it succeeds in providing a comfortable, friendly, and reliable environment for a getaway. The 2017 refurbishment certainly helped keep the interiors fresh, yet the ship’s age is noticeable in certain areas. We believe this ship is best suited for those who prioritize a relaxed, smaller-scale environment and value the simplicity of a well-established cruising style.
