Enchantment of the Seas: Sanitation Record & Health Report

Look, Enchantment of the Seas isn't trying to be the flashiest ship in the Royal Caribbean fleet — and honestly? That restraint might be her secret weapon. She's a Vision-class vessel in a world increasingly obsessed with surf simulators and robot bartenders, and she's holding her own with a CDC score of 95, right at the fleet average. That's not a standing ovation, but it's a solid, dignified nod. Her latest inspection in June 2025 came back clean, and a food safety score of 90.0 with a "Clean Kitchen" grade means the buffet isn't quietly trying to kill you — which, if you've read enough of our inspection deep-dives, you know is not a given.

The food safety situation deserves a moment of genuine appreciation. A 90.0 isn't a 100, but it's the kind of score that says "we take this seriously and also have a lot of passengers touching the same tongs." The Clean Kitchen grade is the real headline here — it means inspectors walked through, poked around, and didn't find anything worth writing home about in the bad way. For a mid-size ship running high-volume service across multiple dining venues, that's genuinely respectable.

Who it's for: Cruisers who want a real Royal Caribbean experience without navigating a floating city the size of a small municipality. You get the brand, the service culture, and the itineraries — without the existential dread of finding your cabin on deck 18. This is also a solid pick for anyone who has quietly started judging ships by their inspection records, because Enchantment gives you very little to worry about. Who should skip it: If you've been telling everyone you're going to "finally do one of those big ships" with the zip lines and the 10-restaurant options, this isn't that. Enchantment is charming and competent, not Instagram-bait. Manage expectations accordingly, and you'll have a great time.
