Review summary
My family and I (four of us in total) were very pleased with our cruise on the Carnival Fantasy. I was a bit concerned from the various reviews I've read and was anticipating some crummy conditions. However, I was pleasantly surprised to see the ship really is in good condition considering she is 30 years old. The crew was very friendly and accommodating. The food in the main dining room was good (4 out of 5 stars). The food in the buffet was a 3 out of 5 stars. Guys burgers and tacos from Blue Iguana are a solid 5 stars. I found the entertainment just okay. On the not so positive side were the size of the lounges such as the Cats and Cleopatras. I think they are small and not very comfortable. The bar stools are also very close to the bar and not comfortable and certainly don't lend themselves well in sitting at the bar for very long. Would I recommend the Fantasy? Yes, but only for a cruise of five days or less. Highly recommend getting of the ship on Cozumel and going something. It's a really fun port. We went to Mr. Shancos and glad we did. As for Progreso, we did the VIP, Chetsen Itza with Cenote and lunch and we were extremely pleased with this tour.Embarkation

Ship tip
Be ready for a lot of kids running around with out any sort of control coming from parents. It's as if once onboard the kids are let loose to run amuck without supervision.
