We are family of 4 platinum cruisers traveling over our spring break. We arrived in Charleston the night before the cruise after a drive from Maryland. Pre-cruise we stayed at the Embassy Suites Historic District and enjoyed the sites and sounds of lovely Charleston. We chose this cruise because the ports were Nassau and LSC (new to us).
The Fantasy class is our favorite class of ship due to the open eating areas on the Lido deck. The Fantasy did not disappoint. Sure she could use a little refreshing, but the ship is clean and everything was in working order. Reviews I had read were quite mixed, but we enjoyed every moment on board.
Embarkation is a bit of a mess in Charleston, but we had read about the trials ahead of time and were prepared.
Spacious cabin with plenty of storage for our family of 4. The sleeping configuration was a little "cozy" with a king bed, pull down and trundle. But we all fit and slept well!
