Review summary

Great choice for a family - price was excellent. Overall service was outstanding. I wish there were more rooms with balconies on this ship and I wish there had been at least one specialty restaurant.

The "Fantasy" class ships are the oldest in Carnival's fleet. Some have had additional balcony cabins added, see pictures if the Ecstasy. As far as specialty dining goes, there simply isn't the space to add or retrofit a steakhouse. When planning your next cruise, try the "Dream" class ships (Dream, Magic, Breeze) you will have many balcony cabins to choose from & so many dining choices!!! You will love it!
