History
AI-generated

Enchantment of the Seas and her sister ship Grandeur of the Seas were the first two major cruise ships to be equipped with a Dynamic Positioning System for maintaining position while in port. The ship underwent a significant mid-body extension that added a new section with 151 passenger cabins, completed in less than two months at Rotterdam shipyards. Enchantment of the Seas notably evacuated Royal Caribbean employees and their families from Miami when endangered by Hurricane Irma.
