Review summary

What a great introduction to cruising! Met wonderful people who helped us out tremendously. Everyone from the staff to the guests were very kind. Ports of call were clean and inviting. We definitely made memories we will cherish forever. Even though our ship was smaller, we feel 100% certain that this will not be our last cruise!

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We checked our bags when we parked the car. They arrived to our room shortly after we did. Lines moved as fast as they could. Felt very secure

Again, small ship but wonderful

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Small but not cramped. We are accustomed to a Kind size bed and this one did not disappoint. Plenty of storage as well.

Go to dinner each night! Guy's burgers is great but the dining room really shines

Agree, ctav. We took some first time cruiser friends on the Fantasy and they had a great time. Of course, so did we.
