Carnival Fantasy Review

Additional details
Our cruise was February 18, 2013. Overview: My mother in law & I were first time cruisers. I researched many questions on the Carnival Cruise Line site before we left and I fully recommend it. I've read other reviews on this site where people complained about things they didn't know and it could have been prevented if they just read information on the site. It really covers everything. I picked the excursions that we went on because of the descriptions, pictures & reviews. We were not disappointed in the least. I even used google satellite maps of the two ports to familiarize myself with the area and knew what to expect. We didn't have any issues at all on our cruise. From the embarkment to the disembarkment.
Embarkment:
Drop off at the Charleston Port was very easy. We checked some luggage and carried one bag each. There were a lot of people checking in but it went smoothly. We did get our bags checked but it didn't take long. Everything kept moving and we barely stood still waiting. The representatives checked us in and told us there would be food available at The Windows of the Sea on the 10th floor. We easily made it to our cabin and my mother in laws luggage arrived right after we did. Mine was in my room after we came back from the safety meeting. It was very cold and windy as we left port, but I stood out on the deck taking pictures of my beloved hometown as we set sail. (even though I live in NC these days)
Cabin Review
Ocean View
Our cabin was U118. The cabin was clean and was plenty of room for the two of us. We didn't feel cramped at all. The bathroom space could have been a little bit bigger but was adequate for what we needed. We could see out the good sized window but wished it was a little cleaner on the outside. We did understand we were out to sea and it comes with the territory. We were in a quiet and central location. I've already booked the same room on my next cruise.
