Enchantment of the Seas SHIP TOUR - Royal Caribbean Cruise [Full Walkthrough & Review]

A full ship tour of Enchantment of the Seas from my recent Royal Caribbean cruise. This full walkthrough and review of the Enchantment of the Seas will show you all the highlights of this Royal Caribbean cruise ship.
I set sail on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Enchantment of the Seas. This Royal Caribbean cruise on Enchantment of the Seas took me to Bermuda for a 3-day stay. This was my first time sailing from Baltimore, my first time to Bermuda, and my first time on an older Royal Caribbean ship. Enchantment of the Seas is the third oldest Royal Caribbean cruise ship.

I just booked almost a month on Enchantment (2 8-day & 1 12-day, back to back to back). Looking forward to it. Thanks for the tour!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

She’s a great ship. Really enjoyed her! Thanks for watching.

I like it when you slowly move around as when you move quickly it creates a seasick feeling.

[@poseidonrox95]

This was my first ship. It's wild how well the interiors have aged, nothing looks changed and while some of the brown paneling in common hallways is a bit dated, the public venues look great. So many great memories in each place you took us. Thanks for the tour!

[@katrinaassoumou6400]

I really like the 9th floor solarium. Nice and bright. Wow!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

It was a very nice Solarium.

[@paulntpa1122]

Hey Zach, Tampa here. Yep, I'm sailing on her May 11 from Tampa. I really enjoy the smaller ships, and being to most all of the islands, I prefer to stay onboard and enjoy the pool. The excursions can get old, so to run off and shop briefly might be nice, or get a day pass at a resort, however, I can enjoy the pool on ship, not pay the entrance fees and have a beer or two. When the crowds return mid-day, I re=position my butt to a nice quiet spot in the Solarium. Thanks for your video, and sail safe.

[@TheRedComyn]

Thanks for this! My next cruise is RCI Freedom. Great tour!

[@Kayrenar]

Great tour! I was on this ship at the end of Dec 22 out of Baltimore. Another little tip - behind the Oasis Bar there are three spaces on the floor where you can see down to the ocean because that part extends over the water

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Thank you so much! Hope you had fun.

[@karenkrolik7592]

What did you think. We are going in 3 weeks!

[@ResetYourJourney]

@karenkrolik7592 Our balcony room was perfect and our boy's enjoyed the cruise (especially the climbing wall at the back of the ship), but we've learned that it's not our scene. Way too many people, everything seems to be focused around excessive food, and by day 4 we were ready to be off the boat. I (Rose) got the dreaded stomach virus and almost didn't make it off the ship in time. Not fun ☹️

[@alanjames7877]

I loved Grandeur out of Baltimore. I’m so glad Royal is keeping this class well maintained. We’re thinking about booking Vision next summer. I really like Izumi in the crown and Giovanni’s. I’m surprised Royal hasn’t added those to Enchantment. Great ship tour!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Thank you! I loved this ship so much.

[@Frenchiesonthego]

Really nice ship. Royal Caribbean doesn't have much ships in Europe where I live but I will definitely board one when the time is right. And I must say I absolutely love ships with wide atriums like this one. I hope this will not disappear on all new ships because it really shows the size of the interiors. It's usually the first glance when you come in and add a nice touch to the wow-factor of those ships 🙂

[@notaaronpitts4439]

I'm going on this for my second cruise

Thank you! My upcoming October sailing switched from the Brilliance to Enchantment and I was worried. I sailed on Enchantment in 2005 but have spent the last 15+ years sailing the bigger ships. It looks beautiful and now I cannot wait to board her.

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Have fun!

Excellent detailed review.. I didn't see anything here on their fitness/gym area?

[@laurenbehr718]

It reminds me of a slightly less fancy Celeb Equinox. Was considering for a cheap cruise to get back to Coco Cay and spooked by the reviews but you sell her well. Royal should thank you!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

She is a great ship! And I love CocoCay too. Thank you for watching. 😊

[@Steven-er2bt]

Thanks Zach! Another great video. We pretty much stick to Celebrity, but we like to see what other cruise lines and ships look like... Would you consider a Royal Caribbean vs Celebrity comparison video some day?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Thank you for watching! And that’s a great suggestion - I’ll add it to my list. :)

[@andrewpotts28335]

For as old as she is, she really is in great shape. Royal does a great job of keeping their ships in order. Might have to book something on her now.

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

She’s a great ship! And just down the road! Highly recommend. Thanks for watching!

[@kennywalker4091]

I hadn't planned on doing Bermuda via Enchantment but it's trying to nudge it's way on to my Bucket List. This video however has me really stoked about my upcoming Rhapsody cruise. Just had to check the deck plans for Rhapsody and sure enough where the Diamond Club is on Enchantment is where Izumi is on Rhapsody. I can't wait for that cruise. Great video, keep up the awesome work!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Thank you very much! You’re going to love Rhapsody. And an Izumi on Enchantment would have just been perfect. Love that venue and missed it on this cruise.

[@kennywalker4091]

@@ZachtheTravelingMan I'll eat two entrees in your honor. Lol

[@kennywalker4091]

After all that I never made it to Izumi. It was sold out every night Ensenada though it never looked full when I walked by on my way to the Viking Crown Lounge. I finally went up in the last night hoping, maybe as a solo, I could get in. The place was practically empty. Still couldn't get in. Turns out they only had one server available for the whole week and the place was more than half empty. Much so about nothing. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Oh man, sorry to hear this! But that only means one thing. You have to go on another to try Izumi! It’s really great and I’m sure you won’t mind just one more cruise.

[@johnsmeith3913]

That theatre and centrum are still fare nicer spaces than any equivalent Norwegian has to this day. Im always amazed nowadays how much farther ahead RCI and Carnival are at designing modern ships compared to Norwegian and MSC who are always playing catchup

[@FlightAndTrack]

Ncl and msc are better than carnival

[@pittsburghrocco5373]

Haven't been on a cruise in years, and I am going on this ship in September 2024...Maybe I missed it, but is there a duty free shop on board? And thanks for the walk through, I can't wait to get on this boat!

[@achungstah]

This video was so helpful thank you so much Zach! Sailing next month and I was worried since the ship is smaller than the oasis and freedom classes, but now I’m excited:) I was just wondering does the Park Cafe serve the same pizza as Sorrento’s on other ships? I was so bummed to see there wasn’t an actual Sorrento’s on this ship and I’m worried since it’s my fav part about cruising!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

I hope you have a great cruise on her! She’s a lovely ship. I think the pizza is the same as Sorrento’s. So don’t worry, there will still be great pizza available.

[@achungstah]

@@ZachtheTravelingMan thank you so much for replying Zach! Yes exactly what I wanted to hear!! I love your content please never stop making videos💞

[@jtdzfsu]

I have watched three recent ship tours of this ship. By far yours is the best. Do you pronounce Schooner that way as a joke or is it an alternative I am not aware? We are leaving out of Tampa in two weeks.

[@Lord.Kiltridge]

Seeing the ocean IMO is a very important part of being on a cruise. Many dining rooms restrict your view of the ocean. I know seeing the waves bothers some people, but it's a large part of why I'm there.

[@rgruenhaus]

I agree! Even though I had been in the Navy 16 years and have seen the sea at it's best and it's worst, I still love it when cruising! Even more actually because I'm not at work!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

I also love seeing the ocean as much as I can.

[@commonwealthwarfare]

@@rgruenhaus I felt this on a personal level 😂 much better to see those waves on vacation

[@rebeccalyons1327]

Great tour. I love older, smaller ships with atriums. I’m looking a a TA from Barcelona to Tampa on her. I think it’s pronounced “skooner” though.

[@robertspaeth8617]

Are you doing your TA. Nov. 2023. We are going Athens, Barcelona then on to Tampa

[@rebeccalyons1327]

@@robertspaeth8617We are looking into the Barcelona to Tampa cruise, but yes in November. We can’t usually book a cruise so far out so I’m just keeping my eye on it right now. That’s amazing to be able to do the Athens cruise as a b2b with the TA.

This ship looks remarkably well maintained and up-to-date. Then again, I expect no less from Royal Caribbean!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

It was incredible. I loved it and already want to go back.

[@danielc365]

How do you cut a ship in half and extended it. 😮 the amount of wiring and pipe and just structural components that needed modifications

[@AxelQC]

It's strange that Enchantment, the biggest Vision class ship, has only one specialty restaurant. The Grandeur has 3: Chops, Izumi, and Giovanni's. We ate at all 3 on our first cruise.

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

That is very interesting. Thanks for watching!

[@NLMusique]

Nice tour of the ship. I have a question for you. My friends who love dance classes. Are there much dance classes on this ship? I also know on some royal ships, the centrum has some acrobatic shows. Do they have those on this ship?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

No acrobatic shows and no dance classes that I’m aware of but that can change by cruise. Thanks for watching!

[@NLMusique]

[@ceritapulliam696]

How old is this cruise ship? It seems out dated.

[@rgruenhaus]

When you talked about the computer services area you said computers could be used if you didn't have yours! Do you know if they charge to use their computers? How much is it and is it per use or for a period of time?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

They do charge but I’m not sure how much it is. It’s definitely charged by amount of time.

[@mypaperguitar]

On port days which bars were open on board?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

I’m pretty sure most of them opened in that evening. During the day just the atrium and pool.

[@clarencemarquez8134]

Hey Zach, considering booking an Eastern Caribbean Cruise on Enchantment of the Seas with Royal Caribbean for later August 2024. Considering this ship due to lower cost overall and the itinerary gets me to PerPerfect Day at Coco Caye private Island. QUESTION: Other videos have criticized the age of the ship as "VERY OLD," old looking, old smelling, old Cabins although a refurbish a few years ago; "Quality of Food," and hit or miss on Entertainment. WHAT IS YOUR OVERALL EXPERIENCE?? QUESTION²: Is the Casino smoking or Non-smoking?? I do NOT smoke. Thanks in advance. Keep up the good work. 😎⛹️‍♀️🤸‍♂️🚴‍♂️

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

I enjoyed the ship, the food, and the entertainment. I think it would be a great ship to sail on!

[@christinaamour]

What month did you go? Would you recommend going on a cruise in late October/early November?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

September. And yes, those are great months to go.

[@Drknnja]

Did you have to make reservations for the theaters?

You do not. There were always plenty of seats available.

[@slickdealer2099]

Does it have a helipad? Why does the model show a helipad?

[@sunnyr.1954]

I’m thinking of booking a trip on this ship from Baltimore but I had a question. What is the age group like on this ship during the uncommon vacation months, like Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec, etc.? I’m in my 20s but I’m kind of hesitant to go if it’s predominantly order/retired people. Thank you!

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Thank you for watching! It will most likely be an older crowd during the months you mentioned save for any holiday weeks when kids are out of school.

[@sunnyr.1954]

@@ZachtheTravelingMan Ok that makes sense thank you! Are they all around 50 years old+? Or are there a good mixture of people in their 20s and 30s as well? I’m 28 so I like to converse with my own age group. I may reconsider a different travel time if it’s mainly retirees.

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

There is a good mix of ages still. Not many kids but there were plenty of folks in 20s-30s.

[@feliciadavis6917]

Is the Ben and Jerry’s included?

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

No, it’s additional cost.

[@drewskywithay1255]

Not as big as the new ships but the new ships don’t go to the ports the small ones can….so while most people will see more ship on the big ones, the small ones will see more ports….

[@GreenManalichi]

Zach...wife booked a trip in December. I'm curious as to which restaurants are part of the package and which ones are extra $$$

[@ZachtheTravelingMan]

Hi there! The main dining room and buffet and all meals in those locations are included. Unless you do the Chef’s Table or Chops Grille or the Taste of Royal Lunch, everything is included. These other three that I’ve mentioned will cost. Have a great time.

[@GreenManalichi]

@@ZachtheTravelingMan thanks... I've been binge watching your vids. I spent 20 yrs in the Navy... wasn't sure I wanted to go back out to sea, but this time, I won't be working.

[@johnlavery6116]

Hello Mark...Having had your cruise,..would you recommend the experience....are there any things to avoid money wise,? and did you find the food good......Ireland.

[@GreenManalichi]

@@johnlavery6116 John, my cruise was on an early version ship out of Baltimore, Maryland during the winter. It was a smaller ship compared to the newest ones, but we managed to enjoy the trip. The buffet food was edible but nothing to write home about. The main restaurant was for dinner and again, nothing exceptional either. There are plenty of things to do, like gambling in the casino, or playing bingo, pingpong, etc. All the rest of the restaurants were not free and imo, a tad expensive. The newer ships have so much more to offer, so our next trip will be on one of those. The cabins aren't hotel sized, but they do the job. After all, who wants to spend time inside the room? I suggest the middle of the ship...the choice of window, patio, or just an inside room is all yours. For me and my wife, we think next time, a cheap inside room since we won't spend time inside except to shower and sleep. Enjoy your special trip...any other questions, just ask... I'll do what I can

Anything for kids?

[@heather1833]

I am on Enchantment OTS right now with two girls, 6 and 8 years old. They do not like Gaga ball and are tired of coloring. Have been disappointed in the lack of activities and variety of activities for kids. There are quite a few other families onboard with the same issue. Someone in our FB group said it is going to be a long, boring 5 days with kids. Our days in Nassau and Coco Cay were cancelled. So we are at sea starting last night, 11/7 until we return to Baltimore on 11/11. Really wishing we had booked the Oasis OTS out of Cape Liberty. Would recommend this ship for a relaxed, older crowd but definitely not for kids. Perhaps they have more staff/activities during the summer?
