Walk through everything you must and also can optionally do beforehand?

[Carole McKenzie]

We have only done a Disney cruise before and it's been some time.  is there a way to walk through everything you must and also can optionally do beforehand?  i find the website confusing. Crown and Anchor; Key program? What activities, dining and amenities are available without charge on the Enchantment of the Seas/ I found things to buy but no directions/steps to follow for information or pre-boarding choices,/requirements.  Thanks. Carole McKenzie

Two resources that I think will be helpful...

First time cruisers: Getting ready for your first Royal Caribbean cruise

Getting Started section is a great jumping off point to other helpful info.

As far as things with no charge, really the only thing before the cruise that you can sign up for related to Enchantment of the Seas through the cruise planner is to make reservations if you have My Time Dining.  Everything else that is included at no additional charge as far as activities will just be walk-up with no reservations needed.  

If you want an idea of what will be available on your cruise, you may want to look at a Cruise Compass.  It will lay out the different activities on a daily schedule.  It also lists the dining options and breaks them down by dining times (breakfast/lunch/dinner/snacks).  If there is a charge it shows a ($) next to the venue.  I find this is an easy snapshot of what is available on the ship.  You can find past Cruise Compasses for Enchantment at:  https://www.royalcaribbeanblog.com/cruise-compass?ship=289
