Review summary

I only have one other ship to compare fantasy to and that is carnival elation. We liked the elation much better than the fantasy. You could feel the ship moving almost the whole time and we think the staff and shows were better on the elation. We really enjoyed it and loved the ports we went to but probably won’t go back on this ship again.

Embarkation

5 out of 5

We had faster to the fun so it was very quick and easy. By the time we parked our car we were on the ship within 20 minutes.

Food and Dining

The food was good in the dining room but we’ve had better. Guys burgers and blue iguana is always great. Drinks were strong!

We had an ocean view room. We had plenty of room

Ship tip

This ship is very rocky. We felt the movement in lots of places on the ship mainly in the dining room so if you get sea sick you will definitely need some medicine.

We LOVED this port. I was a little anxious to get off here because I read so many mixed reviews but we had so much. We did the bird aviary in the port area and it was great

If you like Carnival, try The Conquest next. Loved it so much. Cabin is spacious and air and plumbing were great. Ship is older but decor is beautiful. Food in MDR was absolutely delicious. If you want more info let me know or go to my pictures and reviews..
