tredin18 2 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Going on our first cruise for 4 nights on Enchantment out of Port Canaveral in March 2016. Any information about tips, information, anything you can give would be appreciated, especially about the food in MDR and the service in all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tredin18 2 Posted January 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks Matt. If you buy a drink at a bar can you wander around the boat and bring it back to the stateroom? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DocLC 2,015 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks Matt. If you buy a drink at a bar can you wander around the boat and bring it back to the stateroom? Yes, you can. They won't even question it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lildawgscottFL 191 Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks Matt. If you buy a drink at a bar can you wander around the boat and bring it back to the stateroom? Doc's exactly correct! Every evening on Freedom, I'd stop at R Bar, grab a drink, take it back to the room, and sip on it while showering and getting ready for dinner. You're on a Royal Caribbean cruise! You're ROYALTY!!! You can do almost anything you'd like to do (except for streaking in the Centrum!). KLA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You actually CAN streak in the Centrum, but you can only do it once and won't likely be allowed on another Royal Caribbean cruise, but you COULD do it. lildawgscottFL 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cdixon22 104 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Last cruise on Enchantment was March 2015 - Chops was great. One of the best steaks I have had. MDR food was good too and service excellent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DocLC 2,015 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 My non steak eating wife actually consumed her entire filet mignon at Chops last week on the Liberty, so that should tell you something about the steaks. I actually usually prefer other cuts, but the filet is the best choice at Chops. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam P. 18 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Mmmmmmm... chops... can't wait until april. Best steak anywhere, not just in the cruise industry. Also, that thick cut bacon appetizer. Yum DocLC 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KLA 1,813 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 Incidentally, the only time I've been to Chops was on Enchantment and I actually wasn't impressed... though, this seems most likely related to the fact that we had the head chef and a couple of high ranking RCCL Executives dining a couple tables away from us. Some of our sides got mixed up/forgotten and we felt pretty forgotten about at times. Chalking it up to bad luck (and a nervous waiter) and looking forward to trying it again!

We had a similar experience on our first time, too, on the Jewel. However, we gave it a second and now third chance and it has been spot on since. KLA 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WAAAYTOOO 12,136 Posted January 15, 2016 Report Share Posted January 15, 2016 I have never been on the Enchantment so take my opinion for what it's worth - generic and not specific to a ship. I find the food in the MDR to be very good and do not feel it is necessary to EVER eat in a specialty restaurant. I have certainly eaten in all of the specialty restaurants before....but in the end, it is really not necessary to spend more money when the complimentary food is absolutely good enough. I am not overly fond of the Windjammer, but that is b/c I have bit of a bias against ANY buffet style, but for a buffet, even the Windjammer is ok. I have never had a bad meal in Chops and I have never had a bad meal in Portofinos/Giovannis. Maybe I'm just easy to please.... tredin18, DocLC, KLA and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
