My 11-year old and I just returned from a cruise on the
Fantasy and we had a good time --- Although I wouldn't
write home about the shore excursions ---some of the
people found them too expensive for what you get.
The food was good and the service was fine. The crowd was a
mixture of people and there was no rowdiness. We heard from
other cruisers that Carnival's Mardi Gras had a reputation
as a really rowdy ship.
I would recommend anyone going that if you are even slightly
prone to seasickness, get yourself a cabin on Riviera forward.
This was our first cruise and we were surprised at how the ship
can sway even in what looked like calm waters and sunny days.
Several people we talked to complained about movement and they
were on the upper level decks such as the Empress.
On the last day, we went up to the top on the Sports deck to sit
in the indoor spa and I couldn't take the swaying. Once we got
on the Lido deck, I was fine and fine in my cabin. We noticed
several people were wearing patches.
All in all, I had a great time and would recommend a cruise on
this ship.

Ann, what you say about swaying is interesting.
At first, you could feel the normal side to side rocking, until
you get your sealegs...After that, I hardly noticed it. I was on
the Mardi Gras in 1984, now that ship swayed.
Nassau is the pits...........
Glad you enjoyed the ship....

| 209.2 | I liked the rocking!! | AKOV12::KELLY | Mon May 14 1990 14:27 | 8 | |
How was the ship itself?? Is it as magnificent as I heard it was???
re the ship rocking, I actually thought it was kind of fun when the
ship rocked (I went on the Festivale for New Years, which is one of the
smallest and oldest ships in Carnival's fleet). And I felt like I was
being rocked to sleep at night.....
What ports does the Fantasy stop at besides Nassau??

| 209.3 | Just the Bahamas | DNEAST::STEVENS_JIM | Tue May 15 1990 09:50 | 7 | |
Read note 155 (I think).
Nassau and Freeport, both in the Bahamas...It only goes on 3 and 4 day
cruises. Too bad, 3 or 4 days is just not enough time...
