Carnival Fantasy Review

Additional details
Bottom Line: Old smoky ship, bad food, less than ideal ports of call, and clientele that should be home watching Duck Dynasty instead of smoking up the cruise, ship.
There is always a reason for a bargain, and I'm not sure if the worst part of this cruise was the horrible food and apathetic service, or the lower-class clientele. I felt like I was in a Wal-Mart late on a Friday night.
This ship is old, and cramped, and smells of cigarette smoke everywhere, largely due to the open-ended Casino right in the middle of the ship. There was no escape even outdoors, as the smokers claimed all the prime relaxing spaces as their own. The cabins are small and lack even basic amenities like soap (yes, soap!), ice buckets, and night stands. There were virtually no quiet spaces to sit and read a book or just relax without the constant base thrum of the pool DJ, or suffer the wafting of cigarette smoke.
Cabin Review
This cabin was much smaller than what is shown to be an oceanview, and had no sitting area due to a bunkbed taking up the wall space needed for a setee. There were no night stands, no refrigerator, no hair dryer, no soap, no ice bucket, no product samples, and the bathroom door would not stay closed unless locked.
