Carnival Fantasy - 5 Night Bahamas - Picture Review

[SmudgeCat]

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! I found the link you posted to it from another thread started today (or maybe it was yesterday?)- so excited to have found it! I just can't wait to take this cruise in December. :D :D :D I'm subscribing so that I can come back and look at your pictures whenever I need a "fix" over the next four months! ;)

Thanks so much for this wonderful review and the trip down "Fantasy" memory lane. I've sailed on the Fantasy twice and after reading your review this afternoon, kinda makes me want to book a Fantasy cruise. I teared up when you were out on your balcony and your boys came out singing to you with a cake at midnight. Precious!

I'm only on page 2 of this thread, but I want to thank you so much for posting all of the pictures! I have tears in my eyes reading your trip report because I hope to make the same memories when we cruise in January (me, my daughters, my mom, my sister and my niece).

I ended up heading to the room around 11:45 to write down my daily notes (which I used to do this review) and to email my dear husband before crawling into bed.

 

 

Day 7 – Last Fun Day at Sea – Thursday, June 13, 2013

 

My wake-up call today was at 6:25 a.m. and coffee came right on schedule at 6:30 a.m. Enjoyed some balcony time and got some pictures of the beautiful sunrise:

 

 

 

 

 

We went to breakfast in the Celebration Dining Room today – I had the eggs benedict, the corned beef hash, hash browns and orange juice. They were all very good – and far superior to the breakfast on the Lido deck.

 

Then I went back to the room to get my free play coupon they gave out at the casino the day before. They just had a blurb in the Fun Times to stop by the cashier to get a free play to use at the Cash Vault. So, my sons went with me to coach me along. There was still 1 - $1,000 left, 5 - $200 and 5 - $100. I really wanted the $1000 but thought the odds were better if I went for less – I took a shot at the $200 but no luck! Oh well. It was fun giving it a shot.

 

We changed into swimsuits after that and headed to the lido deck to enjoy our last day at sea. It was 9:30 when I got to the lido deck and there were again chair hogs everywhere using everything imaginable to hold their seat. No worries though – I went up to the deck right in front of the funnel and found a chair. I laid out for about an hour and a half enjoying the last of the Caribbean sun.

 

For lunch, we hit the Celebration dining room so that I could use my past guest free drink coupon. Nothing on the menu really appealed to me, so I just ordered the Orange Sory soup (like a melted creamsicle) and the Hay & Straw (fettucine with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and tomato sauce) and my son ordered a burger. The soup was not bad, but the fettucine was not very good at all – the sauce lacked any kind of flavor. I took 1 bite and that was it. Once I got my drink, we left and headed back to guaranteed yumminess at the Mongolian Wok. We never had any lines when we went either. The longest I ever waited in line for my food to be cooked was maybe 5 minutes, if that. I got my bowl of food cooked and took it with me back to my room to enjoy on my balcony. After I ate, I enjoyed more of the book I was reading and then headed to the gift shop to buy the Fantasy coffee mugs my mother requested. Then I headed back to the room to do some preliminary packing of everything I didn’t need. I wanted to get it out of the way so I could enjoy my evening and not have to worry about it later.

Oh my goodness! Those pictures are breath taking! Do you ( or anybody in here) has any idea how we could print them?

beautiful review

Fantasy was my very first cruise and we had the same suite cabin,I loved going down memory lane! Thanks for sharing , she still looks good!

[tandemcruzr]

I can't see any pictures. :( Says OP needs to "upgrade to Plus to add more bandwidth."

[Shayneele]

I can't see the pictures either. I was thinking it was something on my end. Mine says the same thing. The review is great though. We are going on the same cruise in 50 days so I love reading reviews.

 

thanks,

Ok - upgrade complete. Everyone should be able to see the pictures again.

Just wanted to say thank you for posting so many pictures. My wife and I will be cruising for the first time, celebrating our 20 year anniversary in a little over a week.

I think if you just right-click on the pic you like you can save it or print it.

 

Yep, just tried it as save as my desktop (for the nice sunset pic).

Kelly,

 

What an amazing review! I loved all of your picture too! You have very sweet boys, a very memorable time for you all. I love their surprise for you on your birthday (which is also my moms birthday!). Made me teary:)

 

You mention smoking your cigar on your balcony. If there anywhere else to smoke cigars on the ship? Is there a smoking lounge! We have tried to research this but keep getting conflicting reports. I will post this question on the general Carnival boards too.

 

I am looking into the dolphins for our cruise next week. Might be too late to book it but it looks fun.

 

We sail next Thursday! YAY,

Julie

Excellent review! I've sailed on Fantasy and I'm glad you liked the Smoky Mountains where my family calls home!

I enjoyed your review. The Fantasy reminds me of the Ecstasy. They are a great class of ship. Nice and cozy with most of the big ship amenities.:cool:

Unfortunately there is no smoking lounge. There is only your balcony and the regular public smoking areas on the lido deck I believe it is.

 

I'm glad you enjoyed the review. I had a great time putting it together, as it allowed me to relive the memories once more :-)
