The Carnival Fantasy is one of the older ships in the Carnival fleet. It was taken out of service some time ago and completely retro-fitted to offer the same amenities as the newer, grander Carnival ships.
During the retro-fit, they added Serenity, an adults-only retreat, a water slide for the whole family, as well as having added high-definition televisions to her completely refurbished suites. At 70,000 gross tons, the ship may be a little older but it is certainly large enough to carry it 2056 passengers in spacious comfort. She also has all of the comforts that you have come to expect of the entire fleet of Carnival ships such as Camp Carnival, its "fun-ified" retreat for cruisers age 2-11.
However, unlike most ships, all the ships amenities are within a few floors of each other. Instead of the Promenade deck being near the bottom of the ship, and the Lido deck being on the top, all the fun and food are clustered on a few of the top floors. The benefit of this is the close proximity of the buffet and the Broadway-style shows, the Casino among other things, all without having to spend a great deal of time travelling between floors.
The dining room is nicer than average for a Carnival ship. One might expect, as most of the fleet is, that "funship" means less elegant. This is usually the case but not on board the Fantasy. The dining room is as elegant and formal as the nicest Holland America ships that I have sailed on. As always, Carnival is more fun than any other cruise line.
When I cruise, I really enjoy everything it has to offer. From the first-class Broadway style shows to the five-star gourmet cuisine.
If you are going on a cruise vacation, you will also want to get the most out of it. I can help you learn the cruise basics as well some more advanced money saving, cruise enjoying techniques.

Cruise Ship Review - Review of the Carnival Triumph
The Triumph is an older, not as well designed ship, in the Triumph class of ship sailing under the Carnival banner. The theme of this ship is cities. You can have dinner in the Paris dining room or watch a stage show in the Rome lounge, or enjoy a drink in the New York Bar.
Most of the Carnival ships are designed for fun, hence the advertising tag, "the Funships". Your cruise on board one of these funships will be less elegant and the service will not be as good as on board one of the more expensive and therefore, more refined other cruise lines such as Princess or Holland America. It is for this reason that the Carnival ships are difficult to review.
The design of the ship can best be described as unfortunate. It is not possible to get all the way across the Promenade deck of the ship without going up and down the stairs. And it is most unfortunate that you almost always have to go through the casino to get anywhere on decks 3 and 4. But the major flaw of this ship is the fact that it is the only vessel I have ever sailed on that does not have an around the ship walking track. The only way to go for a fitness walk around the ship is either on the running track or the Lido deck.
Since the predominate theme of the Carnival ships are fun, more than luxury, service or class, a lot of your enjoyment of the cruise will be in the Cruise director and his or her staff. It is especially important to take full advantage of all the seemingly crazy activities on board the ship. On my recent carnival cruises I have performed Island dancing, been runner-up on Carnival fear factor, and even been a finalist on Carnival Idol. These sorts of activities are as far from my homelife persona as one could be but I really enjoy my cruises and you should too.
