iSpark Posted May 2, 2014 #1251 Share Posted May 2, 2014 We really enjoyed our 5 days on the Fantasy. It's amazing how fast five days go by! This was leaving Freeport heading home, sailing off into the sunset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 2, 2014 Author #1252 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Beautiful photo. Because I feel bad (a little) for changing my cruise and won't be on her next week, I thought I'd better come back an post something... Do we have a name for the current CD? Has Risa already left? Bob, you will say Hello to Zelia for me if she's there, won't you? And if she isn't, see if the current casino host will tell you where she's working (assuming she came back to Carnival (or any cruiseline, really)).

iSpark Posted May 2, 2014 #1253 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Thanks NCTribeFan Yes, Risa is gone. :( The new CD is Jocelyn "Shorty" Blandford. She was okay I suppose, I never saw her on Lido deck. It may have been just the Fantasy, but you can never understand anything anyone ever says over the PA system. Hope they never have to make an emergency announcement. :-\ Edited May 2, 2014 by iSpark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NCTribeFan Posted May 2, 2014 Author #1254 Share Posted May 2, 2014 The only announcements I actually want to hear are the Captain's reports and I usually can't hear (or understand) most of what is being said (and that's on every ship). I don't much care who the CD is when I cruise. I normally just notice the irritating ones, but I liked Risa. She didn't spend all her time trying to be Head Comic, which seems to be the direction Carnival is heading. Just as long as it isn't Jen Baxter! I'll never set foot again on ship if she's the CD. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikki in NC Posted May 3, 2014 #1255 Share Posted May 3, 2014 We had Shorty on our January cruise. I thought she was great, but I really didn't care for Risa on our 2010 or this past October cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Risa was personally nice to us and we got to know her. She is the only CD that I would recognize or even know about. Generally they are just some voice and I really could care less. I hope Shorty does fill her shoes with good vibes and continues to make the crew and cruisers happy. Regardless I will be having fun in 3 days! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishtales6 Posted May 26, 2014 #1260 Share Posted May 26, 2014 The Raleigh Fishtales crew is booking for the Jan 18 2015 sailing. Thanks to the Tribe folks for setting this up, as it has been so helpful on each Fantasy cruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmudgeCat Posted May 27, 2014 #1261 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Hi recent cruisers! :p Does anyone happen to know which night the guest talent show falls for the 5 day sailing where the ship hits Freeport first, Nassau second? Thank you so much! -SC :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mzlinda Posted June 1, 2014 #1262 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I'm taking my 4th cruise October 21st, and it's on the Fantasy. In the past, I've sailed RC Adventurer of the Seas, Carnival Destiny, and Carnival Breeze. I've always had a midship balcony room and I've always been on a fairly new and fairly large ship. This time, I'm traveling with a group. To be near my friends, I booked cabin E16 which is quite far forward. I didn't have any problems with motion sickness on my past cruises but I am really worried about motion sickness on an older, smaller ship, especially in a cabin that is so far forward, and has no balcony to get outside for fresh air. I used to live in Vermont, with no nearby cruise ports, but I now live within driving distance to Charleston, Jacksonville and Baltimore so I'm hoping to take more cruises in the future. I want to do everything I can to make sure this cruise is as fantastic as the last 3 were. I wonder if I should move my room. Am I worrying for nothing? I would love to hear from anyone who has stayed in a cabin in this area who could tell me what to expect in terms of motion or noise. Thank you.

I've not noticed anymore motion on the fantasy than i did on the dream (sister to breeze) or pride. But just in case it wouldn't hurt to pack some Bonnie's and sea bands.

bwaz Posted June 20, 2014 #1266 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Greetings, Fantasy gurus. Glad to hear that the wait staff is awesome. May I ask - have you had good experience with room service? We're sailing on Fantasy for the first time next month (yippee!!!). We love room service breakfast on shore excursion days to get us up and out. It's a great wake up call, as long as it comes on time. Are Fantasy room service staff good about getting breakfast to you when you schedule it? Thanks for any info.

It was always on schedule for us back in May.. Now, make sure when you get your tray that you look for silverware before signing your slip or letting them go. I can't remember the exact amount of times that we ordered both breakfast and room service during the day and they always were forgetting the silverware. So, just keep a watch, especially if you need a spoon, knife or fork to eat with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwaz Posted June 20, 2014 #1270 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Another question. In my email this morning is an offer - "Upgrade to One of Two Exclusive Penthouse Owners Suites on your July Fantasy Cruise!" I'm pretty sure this is an upsell not an upgrade (you guys taught me that)since the word free is nowhere to be found. But looking at the Fantasy deck plans, I don't even see an owners suite on the Fantasy anyway. Am I missing it? Has anyone else ever experienced this? Is this just a mistake? I called and emailed the PVP, but no response so far. Thanks for any info or guidance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruise Envy Posted June 21, 2014 #1271 Share Posted June 21, 2014 These are on the Verandah deck overlooking the Lido. If you look at the Fascination deck plans, it is where Camp Carnival is on the Fascination. I have not been blessed to stay in these suites, but got to visit one in 2011, and it is a beautiful room. I hope you can make a deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwaz Posted June 21, 2014 #1272 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Cruise Envy, do you happen to remember did the balcony looks out over the ocean at all, or is strictly over the Lido deck?

They are beautiful and have private balconies that are extremely private, in other words you can't see them from the "cheap seats". You have a dining room, walk in closet and a doorbell! They are S-1 and S-2 and I am sure pictures exist {if not I will share from some friends in 01.2014}! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
