Cruising on the RCI Enchantment of the Seas - October 2010

Additional details
This is my third cruise, all through Royal Caribbean, and it was pretty much perfect, as expected. Sure there were some issues, but nothing that really spoiled our vacation.
We did find a hotel that would keep our car for the length of the cruise just for staying there the night before, or after, the cruise. It was cheaper than parking at the port, and we got breakfast included ! That allowed us to go down the night before, and avoid the last minute rush and fear of heavy traffic, flat tires, etc. The hotel supplied us with a shuttle trip to and from the cruise port without incident.
This cruise was my first cruise out of a local port, so we didn't have to worry about airline restrictions or timing. It is the second cruise on the Enchantment of the Seas, and the second time we stayed in room 8093. When we booked this cruise last year on our previous cruise, we liked the room, so booked the same one. Not that our room was anything special, but it was on deck 8, which put us close to the activities. We seldom had to use the elevators, as we could easily walk up or down a floor or two and be where ever we wanted. We also didn't have to wait in an elevator that stopped at several floors on our way to a lower level room every time we had to go to the room.
Cabin Review
Large Inside Stateroom
Our ship was refurbished in around April of 2010. We had heard that all shower curtains were gone, replaced with shower doors. We also heard that all the old style TV's (crt's) were removed and replaced with flat screens in the rooms. We were in room 8093, which still had the old TV and shower curtain. We were a bit disappointed, but it didn't ruin our trip at all. It wasn't worth complaining about, but I just want to point it out for future people who may have heard the same thing I did about the refurbishment of the ship.
