MS Enchantment of the Seas is a Vision-class cruise ship operated by Royal Caribbean International. She cruises in the Caribbean year round sailing out of Miami, Florida, USA. She sails two cruises weekly: a 4-night cruise to Coco Cay and Nassau, Bahamas with a day at sea and a 3-night weekend to Nassau, Bahamas and Coco Cay, a route formerly fulfilled by the Monarch of the Seas.
The two propellers are highly skewed fixed pitch types, manufactured in Sweden. Enchantment of the Seas and her sister ship Grandeur of the Seas are the first two major cruise ships to be equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System frequently used to maintain position while in port, particularly when tender boats are used.
The ship's dining facilities include the two-story "My Fair Lady" dining room, the Windjammer cafe buffet, the Chops Grille specialty restaurant, and several themed bars and lounges, including a piano bar. Other features include three pools, a spa, a theater, a , a fitness center, a discothèque, a shopping center and centrum, a teen disco and lounge, Adventure Ocean center, an observation deck, a rock-climbing wall, four bungee trampolines called the "Jump Zone" and the Viking Crown Lounge.
