We had a great time on this cruise back in Feb 2017 thought we would do it again and had a good time here as well. We only have two cruises under our belt before this, but it seems we are getting the hang of it.
It was different and not the magic of our 1st cruise and the most expensive cruise I have taken and a 2nd deck cabin, but it was still a great time and as long as Carnival keeps taking ...
Embarkation was perfect...no line no waiting. Only issue was the guys taking your bags in the very beginning begging for additional tip money after tipping them. Keep in mind this was my very first cruise ever! So i was excited and ready to go with a lot of expectations of fun. We got on the ship and it seemed big to me. It was clean and the people were treating us nice. They started of taking ...
A friend of mine mentioned he and his wife were going to celebrate their 30th anniversity & my wife and me were coming up on our 25th anniversity. So we decided to surprise her and take our first time ever cruise to theBahamas. My friends had never met my wife prior to (Co workers). We planned to get her on board with out her knowing she was going on cruise. I had paid for it via a Walmart credit ...
Kenny G (piano) was EXCELLENT. I wish we could have seen him more often-entertainment-"so so" as far at]s the shows Motown and Brits...Comedians Cee Jay and Caroline falling down funny-can't wait to see them and Kenny G again. My only suggestion for the comedy show is move it into the Universe Lounge-the place they have it now is simply too small---The comedian/juggling show hilarious (Winfrey) ...
This was my first cruise, so I don’t have anything to compare it to, but I thought it was fantastic! Of course the pool is small, the décor is a little dated, but with a good attitude all of our expectations were exceeded.
First get the FASTER TO THE FUN pass! We arrived at the Charleston port at 12:33 pm (they told us not to arrive before 12:30). We went to a special place to drop our bags, ...
Been on several cruise lines. Carnival has been the worst. Disembarkations were confusing and disorganized.Getting out of the Charleston Port is an ordeal in it self (going and return). Food on the ship was terrible. Same food was in all the dinning areas. Worst coffee. Any information being given on the speaker system was too loud and individuals giving information was not understandable. ...
I agree with several other reviewers - if you're not expecting a 5 star cruise, you won't be disappointed.
The Fantasy is and older ship and in some places it shows, however, when it was built it was considered super liner. Even though it's smaller than the mega ships, it still has the size to cruise smoothly.
We went on a seven day cruise out of Charleston (we live in Raleigh, NC). The ...
First I wanted to say to the comment below about over run by spring breakers??? Really, well that's just bad planning because most schools do take spring break in March!!
We sailed out on March 21 2015. Just got back. We visited Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Nassau.
Grand Turk- Truly not amazing but we made it fun. We did not do an excursion because we wanted to have our own schedule and have a ...
The main problem with Carnival's Fantasy is that it thinks it's 1975. The entertainment was music and comedians mired in that era of long ago. There is practically no internet access (unless you consider taking 10 minutes to download a few emails, at 75 cents per minute) and no daily news except the occasional CNN report on 12" TV in stateroom. If you want to keep in touch with your friends, ...
Carnival's oldest and smallest ship. Writing about your miserable experience here would be like booking a Bed & Breakfast and complaining that it's not the Four Seasons. Perspective! If you have some, and a good attitude, you will have a fabulous time! We've been on 10 cruises on 6 cruise lines. We adore the Fantasy. We are on vacation!! What's not to love? The food, great. The staff, awesome. The ...
