The Ship
The Enchantment of the Seas has a fun and friendly onboard atmosphere and excellent food. You have 5 included dining options: My Fair Lady Dining Room and Windjammer Marketplace for all main meals, Solarium Park Café for breakfast, lunch, and late-night snacks, Café Latte-Tudes for snacks, and room service for breakfast.
The cabins are comfortable but not very modern. They include at least two closets, three large drawers, smaller desk drawers, and cabinet space. There are only two power sockets (1 UK format, 1 US format – so bring an adapter) in each cabin, located by the desk. The bathroom (and especially the shower) is tiny.
Among the entertainment options, you have many themed bars and lounges, a climbing wall, and an atrium with shops. Overall, the Enchantment of the Seas offers good service while lacking adventurous attractions, making it a good ship for people who wish to simply relax in a friendly atmosphere and have a good time with their fellow passengers.
Getting to Cape Liberty
Cape Liberty is a port in New Jersey, close to New York. Your best option is thus flying to either Newark Liberty or John F. Kennedy. One-way flights tend to be even more expensive than round trips, so you can usually book a round trip and simply throw away your return ticket. Prices are usually around €324, e.g. from Barcelona with Aer Lingus.
