I don't know why someone keeps writing that on there. That has not been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falkcor Posted March 22, 2015 #3 Share Posted March 22, 2015 as wikipedia would say, [citation needed]... there has been no official announcement, and given that you or i or anybody else can edit wikipedia at will, it is not a credible source.

vwrestler171 Posted March 24, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Don't know how they could transfer Fantasy to Costa in late 2015 when they are selling cruises until April 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playdeep Posted March 31, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Don't know how they could transfer Fantasy to Costa in late 2015 when they are selling cruises until April 2016. Would they not just transfer those bookings/itineraries to a new ship? Will Sunshine be the permanent replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine is not going to be the permanent replacement. There will be more ship deployment announcements next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There hasn't been an official release about it. Edited March 31, 2015 by cruiser fanatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted March 31, 2015 #9 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Carnival Fantasy will be transfered to Costa Cruises in late 2015 according to Wikipedia. I sure as he** hope not!! :( I'm booked on her for April 2016. Besides, I doubt this is true. Why would Carnival let me book a cruise that's not going to happen?

Why would Carnival let me book a cruise that's not going to happen? It isn't going to be retired before next April. People that start these rumors have nothing else to do!

jwalk03 Posted March 31, 2015 #12 Share Posted March 31, 2015 It isn't going to be retired before next April. People that start these rumors have nothing else to do! While I agree Wikipedia is not a credible source, I will say that Carnival does frequently cancel cruises and changes ships AFTER people have booked, when they repo ships. If Carnival really is retiring the Fantasy, I would assume it would be replaced with something, and to be honest whatever that replacement is would have to be considered an UPGRADE over the oldest ship in the fleet.

Canadian_J Posted March 31, 2015 #13 Share Posted March 31, 2015 The Carnival Fantasy will be transfered to Costa Cruises in late 2015 according to Wikipedia. Oh boy. Do we all realize that literally anyone can write anything on Wikipedia? Let's not let the rumour mill start spinning unless we have some real fuel to run it :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avril Posted April 1, 2015 #14 Share Posted April 1, 2015 It would be nice to be switched (or some might say upgraded) to a bigger, newer ship like the Sunshine (well, sort of newer, she was the Destiny so not that new) even though I am really looking forward to trying and seeing the Fantasy. I like the smaller, older ships. :) It would make me kinda nervous though, I've heard (and read) a lot of really bad things about the Sunshine recently!! :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While some of the complaints were valid it didn't affect my cruise experience. Remember, some people live to complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playdeep Posted April 11, 2015 #18 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The booking engine doesn't show anything for Fantasy out beyond April of 2016. While most other Fantasy-class ships also only show departures through that date, many of the larger ships show cruises well into 2017 (including Sunshine from Charleston). I wonder if that indicates at least a shuffling of ships and ports for Fantasy and her sisters, if not a sale... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandij Posted April 11, 2015 #19 Share Posted April 11, 2015 I can guarantee you that they can and do sell cabins and then change their mind. I was all booked on april 16 for breeze and got notice this week that my sailing date had been chartered and I was out of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playdeep Posted April 22, 2015 #23 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Well, details? Next steps for Charleston? Someone on another thread mentioned that the recently upgraded Fascination (or possibly another Fantasy-class ship) would likely replace Fantasy after next April. This would be make sense due to the size of the ship, it would be a different ship but the same class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_ga Posted April 24, 2015 #24 Share Posted April 24, 2015 John Heald was just asked on his Facebook page and replied that Fantasy will be remaining part of the Carnival line and that there will be news for the Port of Charleston next week. He said earlier in the week that two more ships would be announced as 'Dancing' next week. So, if Charleston is to get another liner I suppose we'll know then.

Vitamin_Sea Posted April 24, 2015 #25 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Fantasy is booked with Carnival into 2016. Plus I highly doubt she goes to Costa. Many old carnival ships get shipped to Ibero cruise. At 25yo, its time to move Fantasy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
