Its name is fitting. Not only does the ship itself weave a spell over its guests, but the destinations to which it travels are just as mesmerizing. Right now's a perfect time to let the beauty of two entirely different cruise destinations-New England and the Caribbean-make your vacation experience one that you'll never want to forget.
As far as the ship itself, the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas is a member of the Vision Family of Royal Caribbean cruise ships. At 74,000 tons, it would be considered "middle of the road" as far as the weight of cruise ships go; however, there's nothing average about its onboard amenities, style, and comfort. In the spring of 2005, Enchantment of the Seas will be undergoing a massive renovation that will see the addition of 73 feet in its midsection, new attractions like the bungee trampoline, and innovative designs done to the pool and outdoor public areas.
Sailing to ports of call in both the Caribbean and New England, Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas cruises from convenient points that dot the east coast of North America: Philadelphia, PA; Boston, MA; Cape Liberty Cruise Port, NJ; Fort Lauderdale, FL; and Quebec City, QC. Any place is a good place to start one of your New England orCaribbean cruise vacations.
Breathe in the crisp air and look around you: it's autumn in New England. What could be a better way to see the brilliant colors of fall than on a cruise ship traveling up the rugged northeast coast. You'll get the chance to experience the best that nature can offer, as well as everything from rustic villages to pulsing cities. However, if you can't wait for autumn to see the area, cruises in the spring and summer are available!
Check out the scenery in Bar Harbor, Maine, which is nestled against Arcadia National Park and the stunning coast line. Experience a Lobster Bake and browse the shops for great wares. It's a great place to have a quiet cruise adventure.
Corner Brook, Newfoundland is yet another port of call on a Royal Caribbean New England cruise. Located at the mouth of the Humber River, a waterway known for its multitude of salmon, Corner Brook is surrounded by including forest, rocky coastline, and a plethora of offshore islands. When you're there, check out Gros Morne National Park-a vision of nature that no camera or words can completely capture
Halifax, Nova Scotia, known as "The City of Trees" will win your heart with its charm. Do everything from sample a beer at any number of pubs, take in some artwork at the Nova Scotia Art Gallery, or meander through Victorian gardens.
Other stops on the New England cruise include Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; Saguenay River, Quebec; St. John's, New Brunswick; and Sydney, Nova Scotia.
Although it may be considered more of a typical cruise destination, a Caribbean island feels anything but typical once you've gotten there. Once a city of the mighty Mayan Empire, Belize City has become today a mixture of Indian culture, European influences, and Caribbean breezes. Climb El Castillo, the Spanish name for on of the tallest Mayan structures in Belize.
Ocho Rios, Jamaica you may know of because of its famous Dunn River Falls, the gently sloping waterfall that for years has been a great tourist adventure, and Cozumel, Mexico is a destination that has as many sights under the surface of the water as it does above.
George Town, Grand Cayman and Key West, Florida are also ports on the Caribbean itinerary.
Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas Entertainment
The casino isn't the only way to entertain yourself on the Enchantment of the Sea, but it's a nice start! Let's take a quick peek at the casino, however. You can jump in on a game of blackjack, roulette, poker, or craps. Plus, there are also tournaments in which you can enter. After you're done flirting with Lady Luck, grab a drink at the Schooner Bar, or make a toast to the day you've had or the day to come at the Champagne Bar. The adults can dance it up at the Carousel Lounge, but the teenagers have their own place at Fantaseas Disco. There are also lots of shops to browse through in the gallery, even pieces of art you can take home with you. And of course, who can forget the amazing Broadway-style shows that are performed in the theater.
When you travel on cruises with Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas, the possibilities abound. You've worked hard all year, so now's your chance to get the pampering you deserve: get a hot rock massage or a facial at the ShipShape Spa. One of the four whirlpools on the ship are equally relaxing. If you feel like burning off some energy later (or just working off that rich créme brulé from last night), visit the rock climbing wall, the full-sized basketball court, or the pool. Come visit the ShipShape Fitness Center and you'll have access to the most state-of-the-art equipment available anywhere. Play a round of gold on the miniature golf course or keep your drive up to game in the golf simulator. Take a cooking class, join a Yoga class, pick up a pool-side read in the library, or log ontothe internet to say hello to your friends back home.
And that just skims the surface!
Royal Caribbean Cruise Line main dining room on Enchantment of the Seas, My Fair Lady, serves food that "fair" wouldn't even come close to describing. And, once you couple that with the with impeccable Gold Anchor service of the wait and kitchen staff, you've got something that's less a meal and more of a culinary event. The dress code in My Fair Lady is not always formal, but figure that there will be at least one night of formal wear in the main dining room. If guests are in the mood for a lighter meal, they can visit Windjammer for a great buffet or the Café Promenade for a quick sandwich or slice of pizza. And, as with every Royal Caribbean ship, 24 hour room service is available.
