My boyfriend and I sailed on Oasis of the Seas in early 2016 and wanted to try out a smaller boat. With only two people, the Oasis was just too large and crowded for our taste. We opted for the Enchantment because of its size and the length of the cruise. 5 days and 4 nights was a perfect getaway.

Embarkation: We arrived in Miami on Monday morning around 10:30. We were able to sign up for the RCCL shuttle at the airport (around $18 per person, charged to our account), and were on it by 11:00. We reached the port around 11:20/11:30 and went straight to the check-in line. My boyfriend began chatting with an employee who was really friendly and he ended up putting us straight to the front of the line! We were so surprised and thankful. We were on the ship and eating in the Windjammer by noon. It was so easy and smooth.

Sure, there's rust here and there on the hull, but this ship is 20 years old and sails in SALTWATER full time. What can you expect? The interior had a luxurious feel to it, especially the Centrum. The pool deck was nice and we could always find seats (try that on Oasis...ha). The ship was not crowded at all, and there were only about 10 children traveling total. The demographic was a mix of young people like myself (20s) and retired aged people. Not many families with young kids. Read more
