Enchantment Prologue

We enjoyed the Memorial Weekend cruise on Queen Mary 2 so much last year that we're going to do it again this coming June. At first, I was looking at cruises to Alaska for Memorial Weekend, but it turns out that the Philippines cast won't be here until June. So It's going to be an early June cruise from Fort Lauderdale to Key West and Cozumel on the Royal Caribbean Enchantment of the Seas. It'll be interesting to ride on another ship after being on one of the World's largest. QM2 dwarfs Enchantment by about 200ft and outweighs it by almost 70,000 tons! Oddly enough though, Enchantment holds only 150 less passengers. I wonder if there will be enough elbow room for everyone!
