nutterbutter818 Posted January 30, 2016 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2016 (edited) My friends and I will be on the Fantasy at the end of February. We had an owner's suite but were offered the opportunity to upgrade to the owner's penthouse. At $187 additional for each of us (4 of us) it seemed like a no brainer. Was the upgrade worth it for those of you that took it? Pros/cons? I'm hoping we will be thrilled with the upgrade.

Vigorosity Posted January 30, 2016 #3 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I say go for it! I've seen videos of the penthouse suites and they look amazing (huge flat screen, windows looking over lido, huge jacuzzi, dining table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micahs Grandad Posted January 30, 2016 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Depends upon how long the cruise is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAPERBKWRITER Posted January 30, 2016 #5 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Why look back? If it is worth it to you and your party then it's a great deal. Different strokes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tncap Posted January 31, 2016 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2016 That is an excellent price to upgrade to one of the two penthouse suites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkittys Posted February 1, 2016 #7 Share Posted February 1, 2016 I'm confused. Are you sure you are asking about the right ship? The Fantasy, according to deck plans, has only two types of suites, the Grand suite on deck 6 and Junior suites (some obstructed).There are no owners or owners penthouse suites. Just wondering.

nutterbutter818 Posted February 1, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The 2 penthouses, according to what I was told over the phone, are not on the manifest and therefore are not sold to the public. She said that they are sold as upgrades to previous guests if the penthouses will not be used by Carnival brass or their guests. I was just wondering if others had upgraded and thought it was worth it. My friends and I are going to take a chance and hope for the best.

tncap Posted February 1, 2016 #9 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The Fantasy-class ships each have two penthouse suites. They are not shown on the deck plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2011mom Posted February 1, 2016 #10 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Wow - I'll be on the Inspiration next month - where are the suites? I'd love to try to check them out? I wonder if they are overlooking the pool area - I know I once saw a wild party happening there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacmo24 Posted February 1, 2016 #11 Share Posted February 1, 2016 cancel all shore excursions and live in that room! Bucket list! Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogetter Posted February 1, 2016 #12 Share Posted February 1, 2016 The Fantasy class does have 2 suites like others have mentioned. They are not advertised. I saw some of one in a Hogan Knows Best episode...you know Hulk Hogan and his then wife Linda and kids.....looked pretty cool. Also like previously mentioned, depends on the length of the cruise. After all do you really spend that much time in the suite? If it is a 3-4-5 I would say no. It would have to be 7 or more nights to justify it personally for me. Just my opinion.....best of luck and have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Essiesmom Posted February 1, 2016 #13 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Not all Fantasy class still have them. On some, they were converted into Camp Carnival. In fact, they only remain on Fantasy, Elation, and Paradise. If you go to one of the others, to Verandah deck (11) and look aft of the atrium, you will see an area labelled Camp Carnival. that's where the Penthouse/owners suites are/were.

Not_Done_Living Posted February 1, 2016 #15 Share Posted February 1, 2016 we took our Foster daughter on a cruise on the Sensation in the Owners suite last eyar and it was wonderful.. VIP services from the second you check in .. they carry your luggage for you and you bypass all the lines.... They are great rooms -- the dining/bar area alone is bigger than any other Suite. Take it .. you will NOT regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nybumpkin Posted February 3, 2016 #17 Share Posted February 3, 2016 We (DH, me and 2 of our sons) had one of the Owner's Suites on Fantasy. It wasn't a cheap upgrade for us since it was a 7-day cruise, but we're really glad we went for it. We absolutely loved it, from the personal escort at boarding to the large hot tub in the bathroom.:cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
