Rare Host Anne Posted January 28, 2017 #1 Share Posted January 28, 2017 A friend has asked me for advice on a short Spring Break cruise for their family (teenage boy and daughter in her 20s). I haven't sailed Enchantment or Empress (only been on Majesty). Don't have much time to read reviews so I'm hoping I could get a few suggestions from our wonderful members. Thanks for any advice I can pass along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for any advice I can pass along. I would favor Enchantment over Empress by a wide margin. Huge pool deck, covered Solarium, Park Cafe, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisedancemom Posted January 28, 2017 #4 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Loved Enchantment last summer! Great crew and really lovely ship. Fun too, not boring at all! Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mak5 Posted January 28, 2017 #5 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Haven't been on the others, but we loved enchantment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonLuvr Posted January 28, 2017 #6 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I've sailed Enchantment and Empress both, and I would agree that Enchantment has more to offer. Both are pretty ships! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hannibal54 Posted January 28, 2017 #7 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have cruise on all three ships, the Majesty is my favorite. Tell them to try the Enchantment because it is a bigger ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted January 28, 2017 #8 Share Posted January 28, 2017 We have sailed both Majesty and Enchantment. We would select Enchantment, but will NEVER sail again during Spring Break and especially if it was a Fri-Mon. We accept the fact that those 3 night weekend sailings are party cruises, but add Spring Break...:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clean1owner Posted January 28, 2017 #9 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Just got off the Enchantment yesterday. It was a great cruise with a nice itinerary. Plenty for the kids to keep them entertained. I would definitely recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaside2358 Posted January 28, 2017 #10 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I have been on both Majesy and Enchantment. Enchantment definitely gets my vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty G Posted January 28, 2017 #11 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Enchantment is my advice. We have experience all of them and for what you said about the family I believe she is a much better fit than the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candleonwater Posted January 28, 2017 #12 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm curious about the comment on not cruising during spring break, especially the weekend cruises on majesty... please elaborate? I am considering a quick getaway in March. Fri-Mon. I actually don't mind a party atmosphere, maybe it will give me an idea of what sailing on Carnival would be like? I've never sailed on Majesty, what else should I worry about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare shipshape sam Posted January 28, 2017 #13 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm curious about the comment on not cruising during spring break, especially the weekend cruises on majesty... please elaborate?

I've never sailed on Majesty, what else should I worry about? Majesty is the last of the Sovereign class. It was a great class in its time. They are smaller ships with very few balcony cabins and other public spaces due to size. We always had great cruises on Sovereign. I would sail Majesty again. Sailed her once in mid 2000's on a 3 day cruise out of Miami. Sailed Enchantment twice and it is a much bigger/newer ship. Especially since they added a middle section to the ship. If it is a first sailing, then I would suggest Enchantment though for the variety onboard and in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
