Not Recommended for:

- All ages but particularly popular for families and couples
- Newlyweds, groups, and special occasions such as family reunions and celebrations
- Active, "Get Out There" passengers!
|
- Seniors or physically challenged (unless occupying a stateroom near one of the two elevator banks)
- Passengers who insist on ultra-flexible dining. The Enchantment offers the traditional style of dining with assigned dining times and tables. Although the Windjammer Café offers a casual, restaurant-style dining at night, there are no true, "alternative" restaurants onboard.
