Carnival Fantasy Profile and Photo Review

One is tempted to talk about Carnival Fantasy from a historical perspective.  When she entered service, she was the largest ship yet built by Carnival Cruise Lines and represented Carnival’s answer to Royal Caribbean’s Sovereign class.  These ships were as large as such great ocean liners as the Queen Elizabeth 2 and thus mark the coming of age of cruise ships.

In addition, Carnival Fantasy was the first of eight nearly identical ships.  These ships allowed Carnival to expand to become the world’s most popular cruise line.  They also introduced many, many people to cruising.

Still, it is wrong to just talk about what Carnival Fantasy has done in the past because she continues to provide a quality cruise experience.  She may not be as large as Carnival’s latest ships but the cruise experience that she provides is based upon the same model used throughout the Carnival fleet.  It should also be noted that Carnival has invested large sums over the years to add new features and to keep the ship viable.  

Today, Carnival Fantasy is based in Charleston, South Carolina.  As such, she gives people who live in the southeastern United States the option of driving to rather than flying to the ship.
