About Enchantment of the Seas

Enchantment of the Seas is a Royal Caribbean International cruise ship of the Vision class, in service since 1997. She measures 82,910 gross tons and carries 2,252 guests. She sails Caribbean, Bahamas itineraries. We rate her 4.0 out of 5.

Enchantment of the Seas is a Vision-class ship that entered service in 1997 and stands apart from her sisters because she was stretched in 2005: at the Keppel Verolme yard in Rotterdam she was cut in two and given a new midsection more than 70 feet long, which lifted her tonnage to about 82,900. A further dry-dock refurbishment followed in Freeport, Bahamas, in December 2012. Like the rest of her class she has large expanses of glass. She is based in Tampa, Florida, where she sails Western Caribbean cruises year-round, some with a call at Perfect Day at CocoCay.

Cabins to avoid & quieter candidates

  • Forward Deck 3 where Decks 2 and 4 also show cabins

    Compare forward Deck 3 cabin overlap

    Start with the forward accommodation section and align the exact room with cabins immediately above and below. Avoid assuming the aft section has the same relationship; check dining and public footprints there.

    Why we flag this

    The selected plans show forward accommodation on Decks 2, 3 and 4, while Deck 4 also contains major public areas farther aft. Quiet is a conditional layout preference, not a guarantee. Check the source plan.

  • Deck 8 below occupied Deck 9 public areas

    Check Deck 8 beneath pools and dining

    Match the room to pool, whirlpool, outdoor seating, buffet and wellness footprints above. Ask about hours and furniture setup where spaces overlap.

    Why we flag this

    The selected Deck 9 diagram shows pool and public facilities above portions of Deck 8 accommodation. Exact position matters; not every cabin lies under the same venue. Check the source plan.

  • Rooms near the central lift and atrium circulation

    Check accommodation near the Centrum

    Check whether the door is beside the lift lobby, stair access or open Centrum area. Ask about evening events and the actual corridor separation before booking.

    Why we flag this

    The selected ship plans show central vertical circulation and the Centrum adjoining accommodation routes. This flags proximity, not measured sound transmission or a confirmed complaint. Check the source plan.

Location-based guidance, not measured noise or a guarantee of quiet. Flags identify areas to investigate, not every cabin on a deck. Check the exact room, connecting doors, accessibility and the plan for your sailing date. Official ship-specific interactive SVG deck artwork for the operator-selected sailing period.
