Enchanted Princess review

 Enchanted Princess is a relatively new ship at 2 years, but the carpets in the hallways need a good cleaning. Even in my balcony cabin there is a large stain at the door. 

Here’s what I like 

- the food in the amalfi dining room is quite varied from the menu on the gem class ships and has a good flavour and is still hot when served

- the theater is big with comfy seats and the entertainment ok to  very good . Loved Mighty Quinn

- the balcony cabin is fine for one person but seems smaller than other Princess ships. But the shower and sink are bigger. Had a couple minor issues but these were were fixed quickly 

- the cabin steward is friendly and efficient 

- they have a more varied arts and crafts class with a Celtic knot necklace thats fun to make

- embarkation was quick

- walking track good but not as good as having a promenade

- entertainment venues are bigger than most ships, and lots of seating 

- security lines are shorter and more organized than most ships

- love the limited seating outside on the promenade deck'

What I am annoyed with:

-the balcony is tiny and you can’t recline the chairs 

- you don’t automatically get face clothes anymore. You have to request them and then the steward advises that it will likely be one a day. He advised this was a cost cutting move

- no more towel animals due to cost cutting for towels

- the mini golf area is the worst I have ever seen on a ship. Just a few broken holes

- no promenade deck so you have to use the walking track on 18 aft. Note to get to it you have to get off at 17, walk by the smokers and up steep steps.  I found a handicapped elevator at back of ship

- very little choice in teas and it’s the cheapest brands

- staff generally do not say hello or smile 

- unless you are a smoker don’t use 17 aft as the cigarette and cigar smoke is overwhelming 

- entertainment staff are just ok, with a couple of good ones
