Can anyone give me information on Elation's Junior suite cabins? Are they worth the extra $. Thanks in advance!

So far, the discounted deposits haven't made it to cruises for summer of 2015. I'm going to keep watching and hopefully they'll offer it for later cruises.

I tried doing the mock booking and it showed my deposit as the $250 pp. thank you all for your help.

Does Carnival ever offer the $50 pp deposit on cruises that are booked pretty far in advanced? I am planning our first cruise, with a group of friends, for summer 2015. The $50 deposit would really help a few of my friends if it is offered on cruises that far in advance. thank you!

I am so very sorry to hear this! My thoughts and prayers go out for you and your family!

Just wondering if you've sailed fantasy before? Sorry it doesn't answer your question.

I have never sailed Fantasy. We are looking at either Fantasy or Fascination for our very first cruise next summer.

For 2014 and early 2015 The Fantasy will be going to Little Stirrup Cay. There are no listings of it going there for the summer of 2015. Do you think Carnival will add it or is it no longer a port the Fantasy stops at?

I would love to do a longer cruise but working in a vacation is not always easy for my husband. I work at a school so have summers off but, he has a lot of people taking vacations in the summer and usually has to do a lot of switching around to get in any kind of vacation. This will also be the first vacation we have ever taken without our kids so the 5 day seems like it will work better. Thank you for the suggestion!

I have heard a lot of good things about Half Moon Cay and was actually leaning more towards that cruise. Thank you for your replies!

We are looking to go on our first cruise next summer. I have it narrowed down to 2 choices. I know the ships are similar,but, is there one you would pick over the other based on ports or any other factors? Thank you in advance!

1. Fantasy out of Charleston, SC. 5 day cruise. Ports are Nassau and Freeport

2. Fascination out of Jacksonville. 5 day cruise. Ports are Nassau and Half Moon Cay.

Thank you all so very much!

Thank you, redryanc22, I appreciate that information. I am a planner so I'm trying to learn all I can. Any and all information is so helpful!

Engineerstar, I would prefer to have at least an ocean view room.

Thank you, bobsfamily!

Would you suggest parking at the port or finding a hotel that allows you to park there? Also are there any hotels close to the port you would recommend staying at?

Thank you for the information!

A group of my friends are looking at doing a cruise on the Fantasy next summer. None of us have been to Charleston and this is also the first cruise for all of us. Any information you can provide as far as hotels and any must know information for a new cruiser would be greatly appreciated. Than you in advance!
