CRUISE SHIP FACTS
|
Description
Completed in 1997, this Vision class cruise ship holds cruises concentrating on the Caribbean regions all-year-round. While it’s one of the oldest vessels owned by the Royal Caribbean International company, it underwent major makeover in 2005, making it one of the most attractive vessels now for families who are traveling together. Among its top facilities include a rock climbing wall and bungee jumping zone. There are separate lounges and discos assigned to teens so you can be sure that your children are safe. There are also two pools onboard: one for sports and one for leisurely swimming. Passengers won’t be able to keep themselves from admiring this large cruise vessel’s three-floor atrium. Despite the elegance of the settings, cruising with the Enchantment is a casual and cozy experience.
Destinations
Unlike its sister vessels, the Enchantment of the Seas only travels to the Caribbean all-year-round. The cruises range from 7- to 18- days each. The best ones are said to be scheduled during the winter season.
History
The Enchantment of the Seas was made for the Royal Caribbean International in 1997 by Kvaerner Masa Yards Helsinki New Shipyard in Helsinki Finland. It currently flies the flag of the Bahamas and its cruise has been concentrated in the Caribbean since it first started operating. This Vision-class cruise ship underwent a serious overhaul in 2005. One of the major changes done on its structure included a mid-body extension. This extension project paved the way for 151 newly installed staterooms and a facility for bungee jumping. Suspension bridges and pools were also added to the ship.
Dining
Eating places include My Fair Lady restaurant, the Jade Restaurant, Latte-tudes, Ben and Jerry’s ice cream shop, and the Chop Grille. There are several bars and lounges sprinkled across the ship, and the Latte-tudes is known for its Seattle coffee.
Entertainment
During the day, passengers of the Enchantment of the Seas can enjoy the pool deck and the Fitness Center with rock climbing and bungee jumping facilities. At night, they can go to the theatre and the bars. The casino, though small for a cruise ship’s casino, is also a good way for you to kill time at night if you’re feeling lucky. You should also go to the Champagne Bar for live music. There are separate entertainment facilities for teens. There is also an Adventure Ocean center for children 3 to 15 years of age.
Cabins
There are various categories of staterooms in the cruise ship including balcony rooms. The standard balcony rooms quite spacious. The outside cabins (with picture windows) are about 154 square feet, while the inside rooms (without views) range between 140 to 146 square feet big. If you want more space and better amenities, you can choose from the Grand Suite, the Junior Suite, the Owner’s Suite and the Royal Suite. The Royal Suite has the best amenities, with its own whirlpool tub and waiting area.
