Ship experiences

Food and Dining

Wish they had more restaurants to choose from

Entertainment

3 out of 5
Average Carnival entertainment.We went on a carnival cruise 2 years ago and they had the same show this time around too.

Children's Programs

3 out of 5
We had teens with us and there were about 15 teens on board tho no one took part in any of the youth activities. The younger kids had a build a bear workshop so I know they loved it!

Service and Staff

3 out of 5
Room staff and our table waiter were fantastic.My husband is a diabetic on a low carb diet and they made sure that he was taken care of but the other cleaning staff did not look happy and were curt when you asked them a question

Ship Quality

3 out of 5
Public Restrooms were usually not very clean.

Cabin / Stateroom

3 out of 5
On par with other cruise ships

Ports of call

Cozumel, Mexico

3 out of 5
It has become very touristy.It docks at the expensive shops!We had been on a Norwegian cruise to Cozumel before and it docks halfway down the shoreline and the shopping is better there. But the dock where the Fantasy docked is beautiful
Don't Miss: Not much you will miss

Progreso (Merida), Mexico

5 out of 5
We loved Progreso,we took a shore excursion to see a Mayan temple.It was great.There are a few shops right at the dock which had the usual touristy stuff but was cheap.Really cheap.Definitely stock up on souvenirs at Progreso as Cozumel is expensive.
Don't Miss: The souvenirs at the dock

Pros: Being able to do stuff with each other

Cons: Getting off the ship

Recommends Holiday? Yes!
