Carnival Fantasy Reviews

Carnival Fantasy Review

Having a fantasy vacation is usually the goal when one embarks on a trip, however, fulfilling that ‘fantasy’ expectation isn’t always easy. There are ways to have a fantasy vacation, and one stands above the rest. Cruising onboard the Carnival Fantasy is one easy way to enjoy the thrills of a fantasy vacation. The ship offers guests more amenities and options than any other.

Themes are important on the ship and one will be amazed by all the décor in the various locales of the ship. One stop for good bar fun is Cleopatra’s Bar, which emphasizes an Egyptian theme; the themed décor does not stop –there-try viewing things like a cat in the Cat’s Lounge. After hitting the bar, visit the Electricity Dance Club, which offers music, lights, and energy for revved-up guests.

For food, there is no end to the options; try the Bistro or the Sea Bar & Grille for casual dining in the gorgeous ship. For adults, the Serenity area offers guests a tranquil area to relax with scenic views and hot tubs. Children have options as well, with a kid’s pool and youth programs, including a teen center. Everyone can have a great time cruising on the Carnival Fantasy.
