Enchantment of the Seas
Enchantment of the Seas is the stretched standout of Royal Caribbean’s Vision Class—compact enough to feel friendly and easy to navigate, yet lively with classic venues and sun-splashed outdoor spaces. A major lengthening added cabins and hangouts while preserving that relaxed small-ship flow. Expect a glass-topped adults-only Solarium, three pools connected by airy suspension bridges, an ocean-view fitness center, and breezy promenades for sail-away views. It’s a comfortable choice for shorter, value-friendly itineraries and port-intense routes where getting around the ship quickly really matters.

Accommodation
Enchantment of the Seas features a practical mix of Interior, Ocean View, and Balcony rooms, with family-friendly connecting options and accessible staterooms across categories. Interiors are cozy with smart storage and desk space, while Ocean Views bring daylight for wake-to-sunrise starts. Balcony rooms are limited yet prized—ideal for sail-aways and a quiet morning coffee. Suites step things up with lounge-like living areas, larger verandas, and helpful priority perks for embarkation and dining. Every room includes daily housekeeping, in-room safe, flat-screen TV, mini-fridge on request, and adjustable beds to configure twins or a royal king.Dining
Classic Royal Caribbean dining anchors the experience. The Main Dining Room rotates multicourse menus with vegetarian and kids’ selections, while Windjammer offers a come-as-you-are global buffet from breakfast to late snacks. For specialty evenings, reserve Chops Grille for hand-cut steaks or Giovanni’s Table for rustic Italian favorites; both feel intimate on a ship this size. Park Café keeps daytimes easy with custom salads, soups, fruit, and warm sandwiches, and Latte-tudes covers sweet treats and coffee breaks. Room service handles late cravings, and allergy-friendly choices can be arranged in advance so everyone dines with confidence.Bars & Lounges
Evenings orbit the lively Centrum and a set of classic lounges. Schooner Bar brings piano sing-alongs and nautical nostalgia, while Boleros turns up the rhythm with Latin beats and cocktails. Pub-style spots pour pints in a cozy setting, Vintages or the ship’s wine nook is the place to compare pours, and the pool bar keeps sunshine sips going on sea days. The atmosphere is friendly and familiar—easy to find your favorite seat and just as easy to make it part of your nightly ritual.Activities & Entertainment
Sea days bring classic choices: a rock-climbing wall, sports court, and ocean-view gym for active hours, plus trivia, dance classes, art auctions, and family game shows for low-pressure fun. The glass-topped Solarium creates a calm, climate-controlled retreat for adults, while the main pool deck hosts live music and movies under the stars. Evenings include production shows in the theater, a buzzing casino with tables and slots, and live bands across lounges. Kids and teens have age-tailored programs at Adventure Ocean and a dedicated teen lounge, giving everyone their own space to explore.Highlights
Signature suspension bridges arch over the main pool deck for a distinctive top-side look, and wraparound outdoor spaces make sail-aways photogenic from every angle. Mid-size proportions keep venues close, ideal for short getaways and port-intense itineraries where timing matters. Balance activity with the Vitality Spa, quiet library corners, and promenade nooks that soak up golden-hour light. With refreshed public spaces, warm service, and a straightforward layout, Enchantment delivers a laid-back cruise that’s big on sea views and easy good times.

Why Choose Enchantment of the Seas? Top 5 Reasons
- Small-ship ease with big-ship spirit: Enchantment’s mid-size footprint keeps everything close—pools, theater, lounges—so your day flows without long walks or guessing where to go next. Yet the atmosphere still feels lively thanks to a bustling Centrum, classic Royal Caribbean venues, and a deck plan that concentrates energy where you want it. If you love the social vibe of larger ships but prefer simpler navigation, this is the sweet spot.
- Pool deck with personality: The ship’s suspension bridges arching over the main pool create one of the most recognizable lido looks in the fleet. Three pools and six whirlpools mean there’s room to spread out on sea days, and you can alternate between sunshine on the open deck and the tranquil, glass-topped Solarium reserved for adults. It’s equal parts photogenic and practical, designed for lazy afternoons and golden-hour sail-aways.
- Dining that fits real life: From the Main Dining Room’s rotating menus to Windjammer’s come-as-you-are variety, everyday meals stay easy—and good. When you want a step up, Chops Grille and Giovanni’s Table deliver intimate specialty nights that feel tailored on a ship this size. Park Café keeps families fueled with quick salads and warm sandwiches, Latte-tudes handles coffee breaks and sweets, and room service has your back for late cravings and early departures.
- Relax or rev up—your call: Balance spa time and slow reading in the quiet nooks with action on the rock wall, sports court, and ocean-view gym. Evenings shift to production shows, live bands, and a friendly casino, while Adventure Ocean gives kids and teens their own age-perfect hangouts. Whether you’re pairing port-intense days with mellow nights or building sea-day routines around trivia and music, the schedule bends to you.
- Perfect for short getaways and first-timers: Enchantment regularly sails value-friendly, shorter itineraries that pack in marquee ports without the overwhelm. The straightforward layout eases embarkation and day-to-day logistics, making it a strong pick for couples, families, and friends testing the waters—or for experienced cruisers who want an uncomplicated, good-vibes week. You’ll step off feeling you used the ship to the fullest, not the other way around.
