Travel magazine's ranking of the Enchantment of the seas

[Daniel1313]

I was reading a travel magazine this morning and out of 30 Large cruise ships, the Enchantment of the seas was ranked dead last. I am a little worried about my upcoming cruise now. My question is to anyone that has been on this ship, how would you rank it compared to other cruise ships that you have been on?

Enchantment is my favorite of all the Royal Caribbean ships I've been on! I loved the Radiance too, but these two ships are very different, IMO...

Not to worry. Enchantment is THE BEST! I don't want to say too much as it may gain in popularity and prices may go up!!! You'll love it. [img]http://messages.cruisecritic.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]

Enchantment was our first ship ever, and we loved it. I can't imagine why it would rank dead last??? It's really a great ship, I would love to sail her again in a heartbeat!!

I'm shocked at this. This is my favorite ship. It's beautiful, clean, best service I've ever had. In my opinion it ranks far above any of the other ships I've been on. Both cruises on the Enchantment rank at #1 for me.

Daniel1313,
Did the magazine say why the Enchantment was rated last? Is it because it's not really considered a "large" ship? I'm cruising on the Enchantment soon too so I'm a little concerned (although I feel better reading the reassurances from the other posters)!

Thanks!

I am assuming the list is for all large ships of all cruise lines out there. If that is the case, then that is a great for Enchantment to make the list because there are definitely more than 30 large ships that the magazine had to choose from.

I have been on the Enchantment and loved it. It was a clean, beautiful ship with the friendliest staff out of the 4 cruises I have been on. You will have a great time!

[Daniel1313]

The large ship category was for any ship that had at least 1500 passengers. There may be more than 30 ships, but this was all they listed and Enchantment was last. Thanks to everyone for responding

The major cruise lines probably have in excess of 100 large ships so if the Enchantment was #30 it is still in the top one third of all ships. We sailed on the Enchantment a couple of years ago and had a great time.
