Review summary
We sailed the Fantasy years ago out of Charleston and really enjoyed it. We decided on the Fantasy again as a last minute family vacation. We prefer the newer ships but this port is the closest to us and so we decided to go on her again. This is the oldest ship now in the fleet. So, if you are used to larger newer ships this may be a drawback. I prefer the larger ships. There are just not as many places to explore on the smaller ships but they are less crowded so there are pros and cons. Seems like the pool area was just way too crowded all the time. Could never get a lounge chair. The serentity deck is in a weird area and small. No hammocks.. Just a small area off the back of the ship so we went there quite a bit. Guys Burgers is always a favorite and they did add that to this ship as well as the Blue Iguana. They didn't have the Alchemy Bar which is so cool. The promenade was small and the comedy club crowded. The service we had in the dining room was great and the food was pretty good. We enjoy trivia so we did those. Wish they had some more activities like that during the day. I will tell you that what made this cruise so memorable and fun was Mikey our CD. HE WAS FANTASTIC. I mean we even went to the morning show because he was there.... really he was great!!! The shows were meh.. just ok. They need to mix things up a bit and bring back some acrobats or some other things other then the las vegas style shows. Plus they are the same ones on a lot of ships so we keep seeing the same shows which gets a little old. We are booked on the Dream in December and I am praying they have some different shows. All in all this was a really fun family vacation!!Embarkation
