This was our first time on a Fantasy Class ship and it had a very cozy feel.

Embarkation: Very smooth. We spent the night before in New Orleans after securing the Marriott on Canal St. for 55 bucks on priceline and watched the suoerbowl with friends. Drove over to the port about 10:15 the next morning and had the car parked (80 bucks), through security and checked-in by 10:45. At 11:00 they said they would be boarding the ship at 11:15 (45 minutes early). We had boarding number 3 and we were on the lido deck having lunch at 11:40! Embarkation was a true brees...

Cabin: We booked early saver and got a porthole on the riviera deck for $249, cabin R12. This cabin is HUGE!!! there was at least four feet on either side of the bed and a bay window where the two portholes were that was at least three feet deep and four feet long. great place to sit and look out the portholes and store extra bags. The TV was not a flat screen but we had no complaints. Great selection of channels as we always had CNN and the ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX affiliates from Miami, along with three movie channels. This cabin was great and I recommend it to everyone. You do hear the waves hitting the ship during rough seas but I actually enjoyed that. Read more
