   Too many Children by
Rich P from Pennsylvania Sailing date: Dec 2012Pros: Wonderful crew Cons: children all over the ship UNattended I had just started to write a summation of what should have been a very nice cruise to the Caribbean.. When I went ahead and read some of the not so nice reports written by cruises with Young children. Hmmm, you must have been on my ship not enough activities for YOUR children.. Maybe yours were the ones that ran through the ship screaming, and got on the elevators and pushed all the buttons and then jumped off.. Maybe yours were the ones that were up in the windjammer unsupervised taking more food than three people could eat and then just leaving it. Or just maybe yours was the THREE year old out on the dance floor in everyones way at 2 AM there ARE Cruise lines that cater to YOUNG children, Royal Caribbean does it s best to and has many activities for children, BUT if you want on one of their ships with Your Young children please take advantage of the ships activities and treat them like CHILDREN not little adults or maybe just leave then HOME !!! We really dont like YOUR children on OUR cruise. Ship QualityGreat Ship Re-done Looks Great !! Dining/FoodGreat Food.. top rate chef's Stateroom QualityThere are hairdryers in the dreawer Ship Staff QualityVERY friendly Entertainment & ActivitiesGreat Shows Top Rate Children's ProgramsKEEP THEM HOME 7 out of 10 people found this review helpful.

Cruise, not a family friendly boat, by
A Traveler from Newark Sailing date: Apr 2012Pros: suite with balcony and friendliness of staff on board the ship Cons: lack of family friendly activties The Cruise was nice and relaxing, but besides the kids club and the arcade, there was nothing for kids to do when it was rainy or windy. And we had two full cruising days on the boat with bad weather. The indoor pool was for adults only. They should have allowed the kids to use it in bad weather for designated hours. I have heard larger ships have more activities and areas for kids, just be aware.There was plenty for adults to do at all times. But the average age on our cruise was probably 65 years old. Ship Quality
Dining/FoodThe soups and salads were excellent, but any seafood dishes had very small portions of seafood with a lot of other filler foods on the plate. For instance the scallops in pasta were so small they were almost pea sized and there was only about 6 of them in a large bowl of pasta. Stateroom Quality
Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & Activitiesneed more family activities, not just bingo and casino tournaments and dance parties Children's ProgramsThe kids club was excellent but only a tiny area of the ship. My son got bored there after only an hour, each time he was there. There is only so much you can do in a small room for each age group. I can't imagine if there was a lot of kids. this cruise there was only 20. The week before they had 400 and 800 kids the week before that. The kids club could only accommodate about 10 from each age group at a time, and that was pushing it. 3 out of 7 people found this review helpful.

Good cruise by
A Traveler from Annandale,VA Sailing date: Mar 2012Pros: Staff Cons: Food was bland, entertainment was not kid friendly most of the time We weren't impressed by Royal Carribean. We had sailed Carnival before and it was superior to the Enchantment of the Seas. Ship QualityThe ship was clean but aging. Dining/FoodThere were a lot of choices in the food but the flavor was truly bland. Service was nice in the dining rooms but room service took 45 minutes or more. Stateroom QualityRooms were okay. There was no water in the bathroom one night and a lot a banging going on. Ship Staff QualityStaff was excellent. Entertainment & ActivitiesI thought the entertainment was overall not great. There were many nights of vulgar comedians such as John Joseph. These type of comedians should be listed as adult only. I expected Madagascar themed entertainment but that is false advertisement for only one ship. Children's ProgramsThe kids just played games. There were no crafts or gifts. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful.

Fun but not really relaxing family time by
Melissa from United States Sailing date: Dec 2011Pros: Crew hospitality was superb! Cons: Be ready to spend, spend, spend! Loved our cabin, on board entertainment, staff esp. cabin/stateroom crew. Would have liked more relaxation time with my husband but that was hard with a 3 and 8 year old. Found some of the "hidden" costs, for instance kids had pop package and assumed that included pop in the stateroom-it did not!-VERY EXPENSIVE! Staying connected on board was extremely expensive-Recommend buying international package from Verizon. Spa Hot Stone Massage was fabulous by Jenn, she's Irish. Highly recommend. Excursions were alright, but docking times severly cut into sun and fun time esp. during winter months when sun goes down early. Ship QualityFood was great, drinks were strong and not too unreasonably priced! BEWARE of stateroom beverages! They cost a fortune and ARE NOT FREE! Dining/FoodFood was great. Didnt realize till the last day that I could eat more than one offering at the formal dinners though! Take advantage of this during lobster formal night! The lobster was some of the best Ive ever had! Stateroom QualityKids loved the drop down bunks, and towel animals. I loved the bed and linens but hurt my husband's bad back. Ship Staff QualityOur stateroom attend, IVAN, was fabulous as were the other two stateroom attendants in the corridor, Lamar, and Pardeem. Our Head Waiter, Sherry was genuinely kind and accommodating. Front desk was very helpful. No complaints about anyone associated with Royal Caribbean's employees the went above and beyond. Entertainment & ActivitiesThere were a ton of activities to participate in and they were all optional. Cruise director and his assistant were funny and we loved the on board television show they did. we also liked the pictures they took all the time and should have taken more advantage of those opportunities. Children's ProgramsMy older son, 8 yrs old, loved the activities and had a great time. My only complaint was that they would not take my younger son, who just turned 3 yrs, and was not fully potty trained for activities without either myself or husband. This really added to this not being a very relaxing vacation for him and I. If there had been some program that could take him, even for 1-2 hrs, that would provided us with some down time. It would have made the vacation a total success. Babysitting was available but it cost additional money and we found it difficult to arrange d/t availability of staff. We also had some concerns on who we would be leaving him with in our stateroom. 7 out of 9 people found this review helpful.

Wonderful Cruise, very nice ship by
Curtis J from Charleston, WV Sailing date: Sep 2009Pros: Great Shows and food was very good Cons: Excursions on Grand Cayman were not worth the price Very good short 5 day cruise, boarding and departing was easy, graet shows, food, pool was fun, Mexico was GREAT including the jeep/ snorkle trip, Grand Cayman tour was sort of a rip-off. Overall the Cruise was very good (watch out for the Cayman tours...) Ship Quality

raiting between 3.5 and 4.0 by
Yuriy A from New York,NY Sailing date: Aug 2009Pros: good restorant and food I don't like pool on this ship.
Since first day, water never changed in pool...
Pool was dirty.
Also some cruises lines (Carnival) replaced water in pool and cleaned pool every day.
Enchantment of the Seas is not.
Water in the pool not from ocean or from Caribbean Sea
Also not enough shower cabins, wich is located close to the pool.
I think this very important.
