Review summary

We really enjoyed our cruise experience overall. We love Carnival and hope to cruise again on a newer styled ship. The outdated features of the Fantasy were a turn down to our desires as a young couple. We hoped to enjoy more activities than what it had to offer. We did enjoy our experience but will probably choose a newer ship next time.

Embarkation

4 out of 5
Pretty good, small parking garage and ship delay made it a bit stressful and our embarkation was behind about two hours.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
All restaurants, lido and MDR, were great. We enjoyed all of the food and ordered plenty to try new things.

Onboard Activities

4 out of 5
We enjoyed the karaoke, Playlist Production, and other small activities like bingo. They were fun but the limited timing made it a bit inconvenient to attend events.

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The crew of the Playlist Productions on this boat were great. Their Country themed show was fabulous and I very much enjoyed the show. They were also very friendly to the audience after the show by speaking to everyone, thanking them for coming, and taking pictures with people.

Service and Staff

4 out of 5
We had a great experience with most staff. We had a little trouble with our room steward and cleaning staff.

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
The ship is not laid out the best. The ship is older which means it has mor character but the cleanliness of our cabin was not acceptable. We had some issues with stains on the sheets, hairs in the bed, and not receiving clean towels. Our family who tagged along also had issues with their room which was beside ours.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
The cabin was a cozy size, we definitely enjoyed it. We loved the experience of the window view. We ran into cleanliness issues as reviewed above, but other than that and the outdated flaws of the ship such as the small bathroom and shower, we did enjoy our cabin overall. There was definitely vibrations and movement from the propellers in this location. I personally would not book another room in the back of the ship.

Ports of call

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

4 out of 5
Progreso was much better this visit. We enjoyed the public beach and had a great time.

Cozumel, Mexico

5 out of 5
Cozumel was wonderful. We went to paradise beach and had a great day. The staff were friendly and the activities were worth the money. We will be going back soon.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
We chose to self disembark which was quicker but the smaller port created a traffic jam. Not a bad experience, just a bit chaotic.
