Here is my review of the June 29 July 3 sailing on the M.S. Fantasy. This was a 4 night itinerary Nassau and Half Moon Cay with at sea day on 3rd day. This was my mom/dad and daughter/boyfriend's first cruise. I do believe we have 4 new cruise addicts!
Embarkation -- The embarkation at Port Canaveral was fast and easy. We left Jax at 8:45 and arrived at the port approximately 11:00. We gave the porters the luggage and I went to park the car. It was $12.00/day - $48.00 total. They directed me to the valet who took my name and car keys. I left the car and walked across the street to the terminal where family was waiting with our carry-on luggage. We were the only people in line for security walked through and up the escalators to check in. Went right up (no lines) and checked in and proceeded to get our room keys and then pictures, then onto the ship.
The cabins were not available so we went to Windows on the Sea with our luggage and had a nice leisurely lunch. After lunch we were able to access our cabins and unpack. Muster was held for us in the Forum Lounge, at approx. 3:30, then we went to the aft deck to watch sail away.
