Review summary

Had such a great time on this cruise.. Halloween themed events , shows and late night adventures and meals with my new friends (and new cruise family ).. The staff was great ...always smiling and saying good morning and greeting me warmly. Hated to leave ..... until my next adventure....

Embarkation

It was all great EXCEPT the workers inside the Mobile terminal...they were very rude and bossy. The Carnival Fantasy ship crew were all awesome..

If u enjoy the juice at breakfast, be sure to bring and extra water bottle and fill it up for a juice fix later in the day...

The vendors at duty free were very nice , but always trying to get you inside to check out the merchandise. I found a great deal from a vendor for some blankets...they were two for $10....in the duty free shop , the same blanket was $14 each..... The bus drops u out into the middle of a bunch of vendors and it's a long hot walk to the beach...at beach u get flocked by vendors and people wanting to database you , give massages or sell u something. One port I can definitely do without next time unless it's just for duty free area shopping.

Mobile, Alabama
