Propeller
Both propellers are a very tilt fixed pitch type, manufactured in Sweden. The Enchantment of the Seas and his sister ship Grandeur of the Seas are the first two main cruise ships equipped with Dynamic Positioning Systems that are often used to maintain a position while at the harbor, especially when the boat is tender used.

Facilities
The ship's dining facilities include a two-storey "My Fair Lady" dining room, Windjammer's cafe buffet, Chops Grille's specialty restaurant, and several themed bars and lounges, including a piano bar. Other features include three swimming pools, spa, theater, solarium, fitness center, discotheque, shopping center and centrum, disco and teen lounge, Adventure Ocean center, observation deck, rock climbing wall, four bungee trampolines called "Jump Zone" and Viking Crown Lounge.
In December 2012, Ocean Enchantment went to Drydock in Freeport, Bahamas and received new features including Park CafÃÆ'¨, pool side screen films, new Centrum upgrades without flying action received by other Vision ships , Flatpanel TVs, improved phone systems, widescreen WiFi technology and other enhancements.
2005 fixes
In 2005, Ocean Enchantment was overhauled. Part of the overhaul includes stretching the ship by cutting it in half and adding a 73 feet (22 m) long section. The Enchantment of the Seas entered the dry dock at the Keppel Verolme shipyard in Rotterdam on May 15, 2005. The center-extension section was built at Aker Finnyards earlier, allowing construction to be completed in just months.
The ship resumed operations on July 7, 2005, less than two months after entering the dry dock. The new section includes 151 new staterooms, outdoor trampoline sounds, suspension bridges, expanded pool area, 64-jet interactive water fountain area for children, and floor windows that allow unobstructed ocean views below. During the time out of service, Ocean Enchantment also received an overall renovation, including a painting by Paul Critchley for the Windjammer cafe.
When the expansion project is approved, the sailing ship's Enchantment of the Seas ', Grandeur of the Seas is also planned, tentatively planning to expand other vessels in class Vision (and possibly across the fleet). However, while the Enchantment of the Seas project has proved very expensive, and all future renewal projects have been canceled. Instead, the Voyager class was extended on paper, and the Freedom class was created, utilizing the shipyard capacity previously reserved for Vision class extensions.
Incident
On September 30, 2009, when Ocean Enchantment anchored in Cozumel, Mexico, strong winds drove the Carnival Carnival vessel against the side that caused damage to both vessels. A Royal Caribbean spokesman commented that the ship suffered minor damage to the stern and several fences. Both vessels may depart to the port of subsequent calls after inspection by the port authorities.
