proudpatriot07 Posted November 22, 2012 #27 Share Posted November 22, 2012 We did the Chef's Table on the Legend and had the same food. Granted mine was vegetarian but my husband had all of those dishes (I did have the dessert and some of the dishes that didn't include meat, I really loved it but ours was FULL, not just 8 people!). I had breakfast/brunch at Hominy and it's tasty, but not the best food I've ever had- Hominy and a lot of places in Charleston are a little over-hyped and touristy. Maybe I just had my hopes up about it... but anyway. I've honestly never seen "The Wreck" even though I run at Shem Creek all the time. There's a cool statue there and one of the kids I coach at Cross Country designed it. I may have to check out The Wreck next time I'm down there and hungry. I've also heard good things about Fat Hen but haven't been there. I agree about Nassau not being very handicapped friendly. It's an older area but I'm glad you guys found lots to do in port and in Charleston, minus the crappy debarkation and the crazy hotel guest! Loved reading about your trip and your pictures helped me relive my own cruise on the Fantasy :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBikerFallDown Posted November 22, 2012 Author #28 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Thanks for your great review. How much was your chef's table per person if u dont mind me asking It was $75 per person and that included 2 wines. It was so completely worth it. I really, really enjoyed it.

petesweet Posted November 23, 2012 #29 Share Posted November 23, 2012 So glad you had a good time. I'm the one who warned you that the public rooms were pretty cold. How did you find them? Kathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFunInTheSun Posted November 24, 2012 #34 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Great review. Thank you for taking us along with your fun adventure along with uncertain times. My thoughts are with you.

MtnBikerFallDown Posted November 24, 2012 Author #35 Share Posted November 24, 2012 So glad you had a good time. I'm the one who warned you that the public rooms were pretty cold. How did you find them? Kathy Your tip was a lifesaver!!! I am so hot natured, so the public areas were just fine to me, but my parents would have frozen if we hadn't told them to take jackets. Mom wore just a jersey-type jacket, and Dad wore a heavier hoodie. They were happy as clams! My DH always says if I am comfy that means everyone else was freezing, so it was definitely chilly there!

teacher34 Posted November 24, 2012 #36 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thank you for your review. My DH and I are thinking abou taking this cruise, because it would be so easy to get to for us. I am sorry about your Dad, but how wonderful that he remains positive. I thnk you must be a special family and I hope the rest of the time you have together is something you can treasure.

Fishtales6 Posted November 24, 2012 #37 Share Posted November 24, 2012 We've been looking forward to reading about your cruise, Emily. Ours on Fantasy will begin Christmas Day. Yet, I still wish we could have been part of yours, just to meet your family. You've given us all some happy smiles and some knowing tears through all of your posts, and I believe I speak for many that they were heartfelt. We finally made it through an entire series of your posts without the 'allergies' setting in until the last part. I treasure your sharing with all of us, and send our thoughts and prayers to you and your family as your father begins to take his next journey. Praying for, and thanking you all for allowing us to cruise with you. All best! Rev. Carl Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNNLNNLNN Posted November 24, 2012 #40 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Thanks so much for sharing everything with us. We just booked the Fantasy for May. The pvp told us it would be refurbished by then, so I hope it will still give us as wonderful a time as you all had. Be blessed always with your memories and I am soo happy you got to share this time with your dad----PRICELESS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBikerFallDown Posted November 26, 2012 Author #41 Share Posted November 26, 2012 OK, you guys have made my allergies flare up again! My eyes just watered and watered. I read all of these to my Dad today, and he just kept puddling up with tears. He's SUCH a people person, and to hear so many people saying such nice things... well, he had a GREAT day today! I had forgotten to post that one of the bartenders told us that the changes in the upcoming refurb are going to be AMAZING. She said the bars are getting torn out and totally changed, the atrium is going to be stripped down and the neon and such gone (it is really tacky, but I will miss it, I am so tacky at heart! :p). She also said they are going to put a Guy's Burger joint in somewhere, she has heard. She said the crew is really excited, because a lot of people get on the ship and are sad when they realize it doesn't offer everything the newer ships have. I'm going to the parents tomorrow night, so I'm going to scan the pics we had made on board (Mom retained custody, it's as if she does not trust me, LOL), so y'all can see the wonderful one of Mom and him. I'm telling you, have the Kleenex handy. You WILL have an allergy flare-up! I will leave you with an image I almost forgot... Weeeee are the champions, my friiiiiiends!!!!!!!! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alligirl78 Posted November 27, 2012 #44 Share Posted November 27, 2012 I was out of town/away from my computer over the holiday so I just read this. Congratulations on a wonderful cruise and so many good memories. Your parents look like a really fun couple and they are absolutely adorable. I am so sorry for your father's diagnosis. I have to say that your attitude and coping skills are an inspiration, as is he. May he give his prognosis the proverbial middle-finger and outlast it for a good, long time. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted November 27, 2012 #45 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Awesome Review....thank you so much for sharing. My dad and I were on the Fantasy in March and I still tell everyone that it was the cleanest ship we have ever been on. I can truly appreciate your love that you have for your father. I cruise with my dad and I cherish every moment that I am able to spend with him. He is my best friend. Thanks again...your review made me cry :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MtnBikerFallDown Posted November 28, 2012 Author #46 Share Posted November 28, 2012 One last photo, the one I have talked about several times. This one is going on my wall for sure. Get out the KLEENEX!!!! I give you.... my parents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said if he beats it, great, but if he doesn't, he has done everything he's wanted to do, so he cannot complain. Not to say he doesn't get fussy, but who doesn't from time to time? I think he's just downright amazing. I'd be wailing and rending garments, and he's just smiling and eating ice cream! Awesome Review....thank you so much for sharing.

We've always been close, and as I've gotten older, we've become such good friends. I'm so blessed to have had him for 40 of his 72 years. He's a great guy, and I am deeply, truly lucky! Sorry I made your allergies act up. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
