bvhboat Posted January 30, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I see you can book the Fantasy up until Jan 2015. Any thoughts on whats going to happen in Charleston after that? Whats the chance of Carnival bringing in a different ship? We like the Fantasy but would try a different ship in a heartbeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twentyknots Posted January 30, 2014 #2 Share Posted January 30, 2014 Don't know what site you used but Carnival's site shows Fantasy available from Charleston through April 2015. As to the other part of your question, a friend just returned from the Fantasy Jan 20 cruise and he said he met a local weatherman from Charleston while on the cruise and was told that next year Carnival would be offering more ships from the Charleston port and other cruise lines would be there too. I've heard these reports before from locals while on Fantasy cruises so I take them with a grain of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvhboat Posted January 30, 2014 Author #3 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I used the Carnival site but I guess I missed a few months. We like the Fantasy but a different ship would also be nice. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clinthi Posted January 30, 2014 #4 Share Posted January 30, 2014 I like the Fantasy but sure wish they had different itineraries out of Charleston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustCruiseMe Posted January 31, 2014 #5 Share Posted January 31, 2014 If they had different itineraries out of Charleston we'd be on them..but I did notice that the Charleston sailings even now are more $ than most others. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise_gal21 Posted January 31, 2014 #6 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Heard a rumor the Fantasy was up for sale. She is the oldest ship in the fleet, so it's possible with the Vista coming on the market in 2016 that Fantasy may be retired with Carnival. Here's one thread on it... http://boards.cruisecritic.com/showthread.php?t=1736961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ4 Posted January 31, 2014 #7 Share Posted January 31, 2014 I doubt that Carnival will do anything to rock the boat as long as there are pending lawsuits in Charleston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruise_gal21 Posted January 31, 2014 #10 Share Posted January 31, 2014 It's not over yet. Read the last half of this article. You mean the part about the objections to the new terminal? Yeah, I read that, but I thought you were talking about against Carnival specifically. It would seem that Carnival could put a different ship at rhe current terminal, or more than one, without any trouble now is all I was referring to. I don't think Carnival itself has anything to worry about as far as Charleston goes. Sent from my LG-L38C using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
