This was my wife's and my first cruise with Carnival Fantasy. In fact it is the only cruise we have been on for about 20 years. There were some things that we liked such as the service and all of the staff. They were so nice and hospitable. The ship is older and that's OK. The one area where it was lacking was a good dining experience. It was hit or miss in the dining room. Some entrees were good and some were terrible and we had to send it back. In fact, the food in most of the areas were sub par. Many meals, my wife just grabbed an apple after tasting what was being served.
The rest of the experience was good. Very organized in getting us on and off the ship. We enjoyed the shows....wish there had been more.
If the food was better, we would consider going on another Carnival Cruise.
We think that our steward named Bagus was excellent and very nice. He seemed to really appreciate his work and service to all.
