Pros: Food 24 hours a day, spa, can get good prices Cons: Aging ship and showing it, entertainment
Past experience
The Background/Story
Fantasy is a 855 foot cruise ship holding up to 2,056 guests along with 920 staffers. According to Carnival’s website, Fantasy is 70,367 tons and has a cruising speed of 21 knots....
Pros: Price, no driving, simple, so much to do! Cons: Ship showing signs of age...but still a blast
It seems strange that I’ve lived in this area for so long and have never been on a cruise, especially considering that Port Canaveral is a short drive for me. But, with so much family in California, I’m usually using my limited vacation time to visit ...
Pros: reasonable price, many activities, 2 Bahama ports for day trips, great food Cons: cabins, number of passengers
I have pleasant memories of my first cruise on the Carnival Fantasy. It was a long awaited vacation for my husband and myself, without the kids. We chose Carnival because of it's nickname as "the funship." Keeping that in mind, we did not look...
Pros: Great food, huge ship Cons: Too hot inside, too many drunk people everywhere
In the summer of '95, I went with a large group of youth from my church, ages 13-18, to the Bahamas on a 3 day cruise on board the Carnival Fantasy. After arriving at the dock, it only took about an hour to get on board the boat and put our luggage in...
Pros: Plenty of activities, great food, nice "little getaway" vacation. Cons: Ship is a little older although is kept in good repair. Some rude employees.
We sailed the MS Fantasy in December 2001. I fondly refer to the year 2001 as our "year of cruising". We went on 6 cruises that year. There were just too many good deals to pass up and this was one of them.
We booked this little four night deal...
Pros: Good food and entertainment. Cons: Older ship, showing signs of age.
I recently sailed aboard the Fantasy during a work related voyage. Like her sister ship the Imagination, she has a guest capacity of just over 2000 people. She sails out of Port Canaveral making three and four night stops to the Bahamas, calling on...
Pros: Food & Entertainment Cons: Nothing! It was great!
We arrived around 10:30 am Sunday morning to check in. There were guys there to unload our luggage as we got off the shuttle from the hotel. We made our way to the check in counter and since we got there so early, there was no line and we were able to wal ...
Pros: Spacious cabins, lots of entertainment, good shore excursions, reasonably priced Cons: Older ship, smaller pool, the cruise being over!
Last summer we decided to take a cruise. We booked on the Carnival Fantasy 4-night leaving from Port Canaveral. It is very convenient to live so close to a cruise port, might have to go more often! We were to stay in two suites as there were 7 of us, ...
Pros: Entertainment, Formal Dining, Service Cons: Shopping, Buffet Food
I went on the Fantasy about a month ago and from the very beginning it went great. We first went to Dallas, then to Orlando, and although it was all very tiring, it certainly went smoothly. We arrived at the Crowne Plaza hotel, and the front desk was a...
Pros: Great Ship, Price, People Cons: Pool food could be improved, ship shows some aging.
To start, this is my FIRST REVIEW on epinions, so be nice:)
We booked this cruise about 2 weeks before sailing, after visiting Carnival's website and being contacted by phone/email by a GREAT cruise specialist there (I will give you his...
Pros: The cruise is a good dollar value on a one stop vacation. Cons: The Universe Lounge has poor visibility in many seats.
Some things get better with age...tobacco, wine and whiskey are aged to enhance their body, aroma, and to make them more pleasing to the palate. The Fantasy is considered old in in cruise ship circles, but has gotten better with its refurbishing that ...
Well, I’ve decided I can bear the guilt no longer. After savoring the most exciting vacation of my life so far for four months, I’m finally giving back to the online cruise community by writing a review.
Pros: I Loved it all, too numerous to mention Cons: Ran into bad weather, but this is not Carnival's fault
We recently completed a 5 day cruise on the Fantasy during the first week in August. We are a family of 4 (Mom & Dad in Mid 30's, Boy age 5, Girl Age 2 1/2). This was the first cruise for all of us. Basic Itinerary: Saturday - Depart Port Canaveral ...
Pros: Food, staff, plenty to do (or not to do) Cons: Freeport
We were looking for a cruise and some R&R and some activities for us and our 3 kids and found it, for the most part, on Fantasy.
ARRIVAL
We sailed on a 4-nighter leaving May 26. To get a good place in line for checking-in (we...
Pros: excellent foods during formal meals Cons: Young, serious drinkers who party hardy
I've just returned from a Fantasy cruise, and found the Carnival line to be primarily for younger, more party oriented people. It seemed most people on board were between 21-38 years. There were lots of activities to mingle and socialize with lots of...
