First, let me just say how much I love this ship! This was my second cruise adventure aboard the fantasy and I just booked another fir December the 17!

Day one: embarkation day us never fun. Carnival states you can start larking at 12:30 and that's not true. Signs at the port say 11am. However, this time the ship was in Kate and we were told to come back after dropping luggage off at 12:00. My fb group member posted they were allowed to lark in line ten mins after I pulled out. Go figure! I drove back around and proceeded to wait in line for an hour and a half before finally arriving at the terminal. Jumped out the car, ran to the little bus, made my way to checkin which was painless and quick about 20 minutes before I was boarding the boat. If you park at terminal it's like 11.00 per day. Park and ride service is around 7.00 theta an offsite facility. If your handicap parking is free.

After boarding the ship I made my way straight to the lido deck got a frosty drink and had some scrumptious food. After that the sail away party on deck started. I then went to the room turned on tv of lido deck party lol and unpacked and got dressed for the evening and unpacked. I have to say the century 21 bar is where you make friends, drink, and dance like you don't care! Loved it Read more
