Accommodations

Cabins: Fantasy-class ships have a higher percentage of inside cabins than the fleet's newer ships, and only the top two suite categories offer balconies. Every cabin has adequate closet and drawer-shelf storage, as well as bathroom shelves. Light-wood cabinetry and simple decor are the norm for all cabins, while suite embellishments add the convenience of a sitting area and small refrigerator. In addition to the extra space, a whirlpool tub is a deluxe appointment in Penthouse suites. Inside cabins have ample room, and their curtained faux windows mimic those in the more expensive standard ocean-view accommodations. High thread-count linens and plush pillows and duvets add a touch of luxury to all accommodations.

Bathrooms: Extras include shower-mounted shampoo and bath gel dispensers and an array of sample toiletries, as well as fluffy towels. Bathrobes for use during the cruise are provided for all.

Other Features: Oddly, as with earlier Carnival vessels, there are no connecting cabins on Fantasy-class ships. Bring your own hair dryer. Twenty-two staterooms are designed for wheelchair accessibility.
