Review summary

I will never depart from the mobile port again. I will never take the fantasy again. There were 4 delays on the trip. 1 weather related, 1 health emergency, 1 "technical problem" which caused the boat to go a max of 13 knots, and 1 delay due to missing passengers when leaving Mexico. The Fantasy is an old ship and broke while we were on it. It rocked horribly. I've been a dozen cruises and have never experienced rocking like that before. People were falling and leaving throw up bags everywhere. They tried to make up for all the inconveniences by giving free drinks on the last day but it did not make up for it. People were drunk and had to pack that night. We heard lots of complaining the whole trip.

Cabin / Stateroom

1 out of 5

Inefficient use of space in cabin. If the bed was in a different spot it would make so much more sense when people share a cabin.

Ship tip

Don't take this ship

Dirty and polluted. Gulf waters. Go to the beach in Alabama or Florida and it's prettier.

I'm not taking sides but there were barf bags hanging at every elevator, everything she says is true but my family made the best of it and would do it all again if we could.

I find what you are saying very hard to believe it's all in what you made of it when did the ship start waiting for late passengers??puke bags everywhere come on every one drunk what a pitiful complainer

I was on that cruise and none of it really mattered. the worst part was the 2 hour delay on embarking day.
