Review summary

Only made aware of changed itinerary (from Key West and Cozumel to Freeport and Nassau with return to Miami) upon arriving at cruise terminal. Ship problem also delayed arrival at pier in Miami by 4-5 hrs. causing all 2000+ passengers to wait in the terminal. No available food, and very tiring. Finally, ship arrived, all passengers loaded, and ship departed several hours later than scheduled. About 4 hrs. late so none of day's scheduled activities on board occurred. Another ship problem in Freeport delayed that departure. No dance classes as in listed activities on WEB site. Only small dance area adjacent to smoking area so could not dance. Few activities during the day when at sea. Food, service, and evening entertainment were great.

Very nice cabin with large window, lots of storage space, and in-cabin safe. Well maintained by cabin steward and assistant. No excessive motion from waves.

I love the Fantasy and it maybe the oldest ship in the fleet, but it is way better than the Conquest Class Ships, especially when it comes to the passenger to space ratio
