In 2005, the Enchantment of the Seas was overhauled by cutting it in half amidship and adding a 73 foot long section. This new section included 151 new staterooms, outdoor trampoline bungees, suspension bridges, an expanded pool area, and floor windows allowing an unobstructed view of the ocean below.
