I stick the main dinning room some nights were awesome and others were meh. In the end, we were happy! My nieces and nephew loved the attention the waiters gave them and they deserved 5 stars!!

Entertainment

4 out of 5

Entertainment staff were super sweet and fun, and some of the bands were good.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5

The kids under 11, had a blast in the club. The one teenager did not. She tried to go a few times but the system was weird so she just kinda kept to herself.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5

Fantastic!

Ship Quality

4 out of 5

Very clean, just still a little dated from the 80/90’s glam era, lol!

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5

I do like that the older ships have bigger standard cabins and bathrooms so it makes it fun going on Fantasy class ships!

Ship tip

Fantasy class ship may not have bells and whistles, but their crew is usually above board. I love the more intimate feel of less passengers. If you want big and flashy, this is not it:
