The fantasy is very old and really is starting to look it. BUT the main selling point of going on the ship is Mickey the Cruise Director. He is amazing. He is where you get the definition of fun. I don't think it is possible to be on the ship and not have interaction with him. He is everywhere and talks to everyone and pushes those that are not having fun to have fun.
The food this time was NOT good at all in the dining room, and the service was not any better. We went on the ship 6 months ago and I wrote the food and service were amazing, that was not the case this trip. Guys burgers were good but the Blue Iguana was better. Now the dining room was really good when you went there for sea day brunch. Just not dinner.
The center bar is where everything happens, Russell and Nancy the bartenders are amazing, very friendly. Really enjoy them.. Russell actually sings and is really good.
The cabin I would not recommend, the storage area for all the cleaning equipment is right outside your door and they are not quiet in the morning. Also about 3 doors down is where the crew enter the public areas, that door opens and closes all night long and about 6 am it bangs about every minute.
