Review summary

As a first time cruiser I enjoyed the smaller boat of the fantasy. A downfall is it was so rocky 2/4 of the nights that you could barely walk without falling over and feeling like you were drunk!!! We did talk to some previous Fantasy cruisers though and they said it had never been that bad before! It was on Spring break...there was no rain but was very windy!

Embarkation

3 out of 5
Our embarkation was delayed by a day due to fog and the ship not being able to come into the terminal. Because of this, there were no arrival time appointments, it was a free for all that next morning. We had to wait outside the terminal in a line for 2 hours...

This one has to be in the middle. We had an EXCELLENT steward named Made! He was very friendly and remembered all of our names! We did have bad experiences with 2 different employees, unfortunately I didn't get their names. One was a guy that we asked for directions and he just said I don't know I am new here. It's his job to know these things, he should have been more prepared. The next we went through the doors into our hall and they were closed. We walked through and could not figure out how to get them back closed as it was me and a friend and we weren't strong enough to pull it off the magnet I guess. Either way, we tried and then continued down the hall. We get halfway down the hall and a worker yells "THEY WERE CLOSED FOR A REASON" and slams the doors closed. I could not believe that!!!!
