stobe1 Posted September 4, 2015 #27 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Yes. No such luck. But the fantasy class needs to go! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk They aren't that bad. Have you ever sailed on a Fantasy class ship? Based on your history in your signature, I am assuming you have not. You should give them a try. They really are great ships with fantastic crews! They may not have Guy's and Red Frog and very few balconies, but they are just fine to sail on and are quite comfortable. Give it a try. You won't be disappointed. Take a nice little 4 or 5 day to the Bahamas or Cozumel on one. It is impossible to to form a real, objective opinion on something that you haven't experienced first hand.

Couldn't agree with you more. Elation was my first and after going on the Dream I was looking forward to going back on the Elation this past march. I also like the Dream. Every ship class and ship has a different feel. To me the fantasy class is more cozy and have had great experiences with staff. Maybe the best way I can describe is Small Town vs Big City feel. Each have their benefits. I prefer longer cruises but when we get a chance to get away for a long weekend a fantasy class 4/5 day is just the right medication.

MCFTJCH2V Posted September 5, 2015 #31 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Carnival is making a big announcement today at 1:00 pm and word is that they are announcing that they will be returning to Mobile, AL Was this a CCL announcement or a Carnival Corp announcement? Why are they holding back the ship name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigley80 Posted September 5, 2015 Author #32 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Was this a CCL announcement or a Carnival Corp announcement? Why are they holding back the ship name? It was a CCL announcement and they haven't announced the ship that will be returning to Mobile because the papers have not been signed. The ship will be announced later this month. My guess is that it will be a Fantasy class ship but I hope I'm wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine by months end, every speculation will be listed here, including the Vista. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruisebie Posted September 5, 2015 #36 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I'm excited about Carnival coming back to Mobile. That's a fairly easy drive for me. So it will be nice to have a drive option instead of flying. I'm guessing the Fantasy will be the ship. I am thinking I saw a post recently where someone asked John Heald if the Fantasy was up for sale and he said no, they still had plans for her.

Vitamin_Sea Posted September 5, 2015 #39 Share Posted September 5, 2015 You have no idea what a Fantasy class ship is like. I love the layout of the Fantasy class ships. We'll be on the Imagination again in December. We treat the short 3-day cruises like we do a trip to Las Vegas, which we've also done this year. In fact, the cruise port is closer than the Strip from our house, so the cruise usually wins. The cost ends up about the same, too. I hope Mobile gets a great ship. Yay for you guys! I've seen em. If one was at my nyc port, I would take it I guess Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy class is fine. I have done 9 cruises, I think, on Fantasy class. Truthfully, I am looking forward to Triumph coming back to New Orleans. But at the right time and the right price, I will be on a Fantasy class ship with no second thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kybluecruiser Posted September 5, 2015 #43 Share Posted September 5, 2015 It was the mayor if mobile that made the announcement. Carnival just confirmed they were in contract negotiations with the city if Mobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigB0882 Posted September 5, 2015 #44 Share Posted September 5, 2015 I am really happy with this news! I hope it is a nice ship, Mobile gives us yet another port to sail from. New Orleans is up the road but now we also have Galveston and Mobile as choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
