Review summary

VERY disappointed in room steward this time and a little disappointed in wait staff, tired of same menu in dining room...but LOVE my Guy's Burger! Took a LARGE group of 33 this trip, most of which were first-timers. 15' waves caused for some seasickness which I hated, but it is what it is. Still, a bad day on a boat is better than a good day at work, right?

It was fine. This was my first PLATINUM cruise so I was first in line to get on ship

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Food was just meh. Maybe I'm just tired of the same Carnival dining room menu?

Guy's Burger Joint

5 out of 5

Guy's burger is the BEST!

Onboard Activities

3 out of 5
The Fantasy is the smallest ship. So other than shows, there is not much activities to do. I did enjoy karaoke!

Entertainment

5 out of 5
The shows and comedians are always wonderful!

Children's Programs

Didnt bring the kiddos.

Service and Staff

The room steward was AWFUL this time. The first time ever I've complained... they are usually top-notch. I only saw my steward twice the whole trip. The waiters were less than sociable, probably due to having too many tables.

Ship Quality

4 out of 5
They are always hard at work cleaning the ship. It's old and that's why I didn't give a perfect 5 stars.

Cabin / Stateroom

I've been on Fantasy 7 times so I didn't expect anything different than other stays. It was okay. Really wish they'd wash the windows!

Ship tip

Perfect for a first-time cruiser

Ports of call

Mobile, Alabama

Love Mobile. Visited the Carnival Mardi Gras Museum (no relation to CCL) this time.

Progreso (Merida), Mexico Did not visit port

The ship was late getting to Mobile so they cut this port out :(

Cozumel, Mexico
