Getting to the ship was a nightmare as they were having a Gaspirilla Pirate Parade and shut down down town Tampa, where the port was..I stopped several times and ask cops and they all said "we don't know how your going to get there...." encouraging...NOT...we finally went down I4 and circled in behind the port and came in the back door..a normal 15 minutes driving took 3 hours....
We got on and went to the room. This was our 24th cruise, 12th on Carnival so we knew what to expect out of the Fantasy class ships...she was clean, food was average, although rolls were warm...impressing...the lobster good, beef excellent and the desserts were good.
Buffet was good in the morning, fair at lunch and did not try the dinner. We did eat lunch several times in the dining room and breakfast and it was good.
