25% off another cruise as on board credit. If 2 of you then 50% of another cruise as credit.

Been on Fantasy 10 times from 3 different ports. Loved the smaller ships and less crowds.

Has Fulton Street Parking closed? Their website is no longer available. Where else can you cruise park cheaper than docks?

Trying to find a post put on within the last year. Someone listed all the sights ant times sailing down the Mississippi River from New Orleans to the coast. Please help.

All four cabins booked at same time, paid for at same time, no changes made, and all linked together at time of booking. I told my wife if we weren't sitting together at early dining we would get off at first port of call and have them fly us home.

We are traveling on the Sunshine in two weeks. We are Platinum and the three groups traveling with us are not. However they have early dining(choice), and we are waitlisted for early dining(choice) What gives?

Going on Fantasy Nov,28,2015. What kind of magnet do you want?

Been on Fantasy 10 times, 8 out of Charleston. Great ship with great people. We usually book upper deck mid-ship, or 2nd level is good also. We will be on it again Nov. 28 for Nassau. Grand Turk, and Half Moon Cay.

We have already booked the Legend from Vancouver next May 2016. The best reviews I have seen say to book Empress in the back side of the ship. The reasoning is you are right behind the suites and they usually have the best cabin personnel assigned to that area. You are also 3 decks below the Lido deck and also a few decks above the restaurant. You have cabins directly above and below you also. My other advise is to book sooner than later because they will sell out. Also is you are planning to arrive a day or two earlier, motel rooms are going fast About half of the motels are booked.

Been on Triumph, Valor, Dream, Holiday, Glory. Also been on Fantasy 12 times. Can you guess which I like the best? Nice clean ship with good people to take care of you. You will enjoy.

Tried to use on the Glory once but was denied. They upgraded me, without permission, directly above casino. Noise was so bad until 3 am. we ended up sleeping on the top deck,under the stars, with their beach towels as covers. Purser desk said they had never heard of a guarantee./ Now we download their guarantee and take a copy with us.

Been on the Fantasy 10 times, 8 times out of Charleston. Love the ship and people. It's better then the Glory, Dream, and Triumph. To each their own opinion.

Was on the Fantasy 2 weeks ago. Love the ship ( been on that ship 9 times ) will go again. Nice small ship great personnel on board. Was on the Dream, Sunshine and Valor last year, and still like the Fantasy the best. Decent food and lots to do for families. Hope I answered some questions.

On both Dream and Sunshine last year, I was informed temp between 72 and 78 degrees was standard for cabin temp.

Where is the cheapest secure off-site parking at Port Canaveral?

When you get a call from carnival, what is the phone number they call you from? I dont' normally answer my phone, so I hope I'm not missing any calls.

On Carnival website it clearly states inside and oceanview rooms are both 185 sq ft. Inside rooms with only upper and lower berths are 145 sq ft. Rooms with balconies are same size as oceanview rooms with extra 35 sq ft for balcony. By doing this they save money on construction costs , on having one blueprint for every ship. On the larger ships , the area in the middle is stretched out and every area is made larger.

Just wondering if anyone has ever decided they didn't like cruising on a Carnival ship within 24 hours and used their guarantee to get them home early? If so, how did that work?

On the Glory our room was changed(without permission) to a room directly below the casino. Casino closes at 2AM and you could hear the machines and yelling until about 4AM. Complained and told Guest Services we wanted off at first port. We were refused airfare home and told nothing could be done. We ended up taking our blankets to top deck and sleeping on lounge chairs. Emailed and call Carnival when we got home and nothing ever came of it.

I have been on the Fantasy 7 times with another trip booked for February. Food is sometimes bland but we enjoy the mid-size ship a lot. A cruise is what you make it, and you will see bad reviews and good reviews.

I take two fans everytime. One in my luggage and one in my wifes luggage. I have seen people take a 20" fan and just leave it behind fo someone else to use.

Just got off the Dream 2 weeks ago. Room was very hot to me with balcony doors and curtain closed. Maintence was called and we told 76 degrees is considered the right room temperature. With 2 fans running we were able to sleep.

There is a plug 1 foot from bed.

If you book on a casino players cruise and the rate drops, can you get ship board credit?

Going on Carnival Dream out of New Orleans in August. How early can you arrive the the port parking garage?
