- Enchanted Princess is one of the newer ships in the Princess fleet and after being onboard for 2 Caribbean cruises it’s now one of my favorites. Enchanted offers an outstanding selection of included and specialty restaurants, impressive entertainment, nicely appointed cabins and a lively main atrium with multiple bars and restaurants, including a fun Irish pub. The amenities are also fantastic and very chill-friendly with multiple pools and hot tubs, a thermal suite and luxurious sun deck. There were some small disappointments, including an overpacked and smoky casino and underwhelming night life on some nights.
So is Enchanted the right ship for you? Find out with this full ship review, which includes a preview of multiple cabin types, including interior, standard balcony, minisuite and Penthouse Suite. The food section includes a review of all specialty dining options, including 360. #princesscruises #enchantedprincess

We went on a Western Caribbean cruise on Enchanted Princess and it was amazing! I loved it!
Glad to hear!
It was so great meeting you on the Enchanted Princess last week. We had fun dancing with you and your mom. 😊🕺
Great to meet you and dance as well! That was actually my friend I was cruising with 😬
Thank you for this great overview. We’ll be on Enchanted this summer. We went on Discovery just after it entered service in 2022, and it looks like there may have been some enhancements even since then.
I think the main difference is the Irish Pub replaced the gastro bar on the main piazza level, which is a very positive change in my opinion. O'Malleys was one of the most popular venues on the ship when the Irish duo was performing. It's a great ship - I hope you have an amazing cruise!
Great review, thank you! I'm considering sailing on the Enchanted this fall, as it has a New England itinerary out of NYC. Mom and son vacation.
Hi Brian! Thank you for the feedback. I'm planning a cruise with my mom as well (in Alaska next month). Happy planning - let me know if you have any questions!
Thank you
You’re most welcome. Thanks for watching!
Just came off my first ever Princess cruise (Discovery Princess) and I’m a fan! They actually renovated during my voyage so Salty dog gastropub has changed to O’Malley’s. They also swapped the venues for Sabatini’s and Catch by Rudi going forwards.
Glad you enjoyed Discovery and that they’re adding O’Malleys. It’s a great place.
Hello Andrew. I'm not really sold on Princess at this time. There are many design and service elements that I think I will like but NCL has me at this time as a retiree who often travels solo, and Celebrity has us when my wife graciously takes time off work. One thing though is that it seems that Princess does the British Isles better than my favourites and it's more a question of time than anything else. Happy horizons from a fellow Canuck in Mississauga.
Happy horizons to you as well! I love Celebrity so I understand why you prefer them.
Great video! I recently enjoyed a cruise on the Sky and really enjoyed it except for the smoke in the casino. Our cruise had 500 or so comped casino cruisers and it seems they are all smokers. Cough cough .🚭 Now I'm going to go back to your Sky videos.
Thanks for the feedback! Smoke was definitely an issue on Sky as well and I mentioned it in that video too! The smoking section is much smaller on the earlier Royal class ships (Royal, Regal and Majestic) although that could change.
Ew smoking in the casino! No thanks. Apart from that it does look like a stunning ship. You have some great tips on this video- cheers 🍻
I'm glad you found the tips helpful. Thank you for watching and for the feedback!
Just got off the enchanted princess... beautiful ship but too crowded. Food was delicious, entertainment was great.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I definitely felt the crowds on deck 7 and sometimes waiting for a table in the main dining rooms.
I’m on the Enchanted a few times this year. Did you see their new policy with the Sanctuary? Now if you want it, you have to book a Sanctuary room, not sure if that’s just for Sun and Star ships.
I hope you enjoy your cruises on Enchanted! Very interesting what they've announced with the Sanctuary rooms.
Princess needs to address the indoor smoking not fair to those that don’t smoke and it is a health challenge!!! I will be avoiding the casino even though I love playing the slots!!! Can’t do smoke!!!
I agree - it's out of control with the smoking section taking up 75% of the casino on the newer ships.
Agreed 100%. The casino should be more proactive in preventing secondary smoke inhalation. I love to play on slot machines, but the smoke often made me sick and caused asthma related problems. NCL cruises have smoking section completely separated. Princess can easily do that too.
Sad that princess will not ban smoking in casinos. Why go when you leave smelling like an ashtray.
Agree. Luckily I had a balcony on my last cruise so I could air my clothes out, which wreaked of smoke after spending a few minutes in the casino.
My wife and I were kicked off Enchanted Princess half way through a back to back 20 days Caribbean sailing after I tested positive with Covid-19. Up until that point I had been a loyal Princess cruiser. The ship was only one year old and I thought was beautiful, but how my wife and I were treated during and after our disembarking made me swear to never sail with Princess again. The crew treated us rudely and their staff (land based) lied to us multiple times as I had to fight and argue with them to get reimbursement. I now enjoy cruising with Celebrity.
I’m so sorry to hear about your experience. Celebrity is a great line - I can’t wait to go back onboard a celebrity ship!
Not sure what else you were expecting the parents to do. I can think of a lot worse than what was said and a closed door. If you think it's bad for you, how do you think the parents feel in the room. Don't think your knock on the door helps the situation at all. Maybe an adult only cruise would serve you best going forward!
The parents can instruct their kids to not yell and scream and bang around. It’s not their house. I understand kids make noise. They’re being kids. But what comes along with that is teaching your children manners
I disagree. Whether it is late-night parties or loud children, you shouldn't make so much noise in your room that it disturbs others.
