My Thoughts

Enchanted holds 3,360 guests and 1,346 crew, the most giant ship I have been on until Sept 16, 2024. This is an excellent and big ship. A lot of things to do and the decks are laid out nicely. The elevators are a pain in the butt. They are placed far apart. But that is life.

Royal Caribbean is on to something with the shipbuilding. They are making them bigger and better.
