Ok, we got home last night after our 4 night cruise on the Enchantment. First, we did have a very good time. The crew members were wonderful. Our waiters were Sanjay and Mylene and they were great! Our stateroom attendant, Sydney, was hilarious. That being said, if you have cruised before you may find yourself a little disappointed. The ship is very old but in good shape and kept very clean. It's the smallest ship we have been on and took no time at all to get from one end to the other. I'll start with the food. The food in the main dining room wasn't bad, but it also wasn't very good. It was just meh. Not a whole lot of taste. The first night was the thinnest slice of prime rib I've ever seen but it had no seasoning whatsoever. Other nights included beef tenderloin (very tender), duck, turkey and shrimp. Portions were small but no big deal, you can get as much as you want. For the first time, I could not find anything appetizing at the Windjammer buffet. They had a pretty sizable selection but nothing that looked appetizing, just personal opinion. A lot of the meats were dry and vegetables were mushy and seemed to have been overcooked. They were running spa specials all week. My husband and I decided to splurge and purchased the Spatopia special. Head, neck, shoulder, ankle foot massage. Hot rock massage, facial and full body exfoliation. We got this in the evening thinking it would relax us for a great night's sleep. WRONG. After being rubbed raw by the exfoliation (this may be typical but my first one) I felt like I had been assaulted. I left barely being able to touch my left shoulder blade and my husband had visible bruises on both shoulders, no sleep for us. Beware, those little spa ladies pack a big punch. You will also be subjected to a big sales pitch at the end for their products. Excursions..the first stop was Nassau in the Bahamas. We were in port for nearly 24 hours. I had read just prior to the cruise that Nassau was the most dangerous cruise port in the world so I didn't have the warm fuzzies from the start. Then our waiter leaned in the night before and cautioned us to stay close because there were a lot of bad people. There was a warning in our Cruise Compass that the US Embassy has issued a safety warning for tourists to be on high alert. Yea! We did the harbor tour and glass bottom boat excursion. The harbor tour was lovely. We saw lots of celebrity homes belonging to Nicolas Cage, JK Rowling, Chuck Norris, Oprah, Sean Connery as well as the Atlantis resort. The glass bottom boat was nice but we did a semi submersible tour in the Grand Caymans a few years ago that was much better. Then we walked around the Straw Market, had lunch at Senor Frogs and went back the the ship. The following day was Coco Cay. The weather was gorgeous, mid 70's light breeze and plenty of sun. I sat my happy butt in the sun while DH did a snorkeling/treasure hunt. They had hidden gold coins (painted wooden discs) around in the water. He found one, turned it in and spun the wheel. He won a 1 hour jet ski tour. He was one happy camper. The entertainment was okay. Hubby joked that we got the B crew. The 2 bands on board were actually pretty bad, butchered a lot of good music. They had the usual trivia, bingo, etc. Spent a little time in the casino. I think that's it, sorry it's so long, I've never done this before. If anyone has any questions, I'll be happy to answer what I can. Again, we did have a very nice time and wouldn't hesitate to cruise Royal Carribbean again.
