This was our second cruise and first on Carnival. I was a little reluctant to book because of this ship being the oldest in the fleet. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised by the look and feel of this fantastic ship hence the name Fantasy. I was so proud of our ship as it sat there off the beach at Half Moon Cay. It reminded me of a classic car you would be proud to own. We loved every minute of our time on board. We booked a suite so we were able to get on board early and straight to the Lido deck for lunch. Our luggage was there shortly after lunch and I wish you could have seen the look on my wife's face when I opened the door. We loved our suite and would book again for the VIP perks. The balcony was worth every penny.All I can say is splurge and get a suite.
