iahawkize Posted November 30, 2015 #78 Share Posted November 30, 2015 Sotuffexecutive Her DH and I ( solo Cruise this time sigh) are on the Ecstasy 12/14 - 12/18 for the Key West, Cozumel & Sea Day cruise. Thanks for the great review. We had a really poor showing on our roll call and hope that anyone else who is on our cruise reads this review and connects with all of us on the Aft Verandah Deck at Sail-Away.

We had a really poor showing on our roll call and hope that anyone else who is on our cruise reads this review and connects with all of us on the Aft Verandah Deck at Sail-Away. We didn't have much of a Roll Call either. I think 4 or 5 posts was all. That seems to be the norm these days for shorter cruises. Thanks for reading my review! I hope you have as good a time as we did! Enjoy!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank12 Posted December 8, 2015 #82 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Great review of my favorite Fantasy Class ship! I'm intrigued by your comment that being Platinum means you don't have to leave your cabin until 9:00am on the last day. I've never heard of this. Is it new?

tw67 Posted December 8, 2015 #84 Share Posted December 8, 2015 No talent show at all on this cruise. They might have something through Camp Carnival though. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreytRacer Posted December 8, 2015 Author #85 Share Posted December 8, 2015 (edited) Great review of my favorite Fantasy Class ship!I'm intrigued by your comment that being Platinum means you don't have to leave your cabin until 9:00am on the last day. I've never heard of this. Is it new? Thanks! I'm not sure if it's new or not. The past few cruises we've taken, we had to be off the ship anyway, so I didn't pay much attention to the time in the letter (and I didn't save them). Here's a picture of the letter we received on the Ecstasy. I guess technically we had to be out of the room by 9am, not at 9.

GreytRacer Posted December 8, 2015 Author #86 Share Posted December 8, 2015 We are on the December 21st sailing, and we don't have anyone on our roll call!! I keep thinking we are alone!! Our cruise was full of first time cruisers! They've probably never even heard of CC. You may have the same situation on your sailing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwickum Posted December 13, 2015 #88 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Great review! I am taking a 1st time cruiser on this same itinerary Feb 1st. You said you still have the Fun Times - anyway you would be willing to scan those and post them? She has no idea what to expect and rather than her be overwhelmed once she gets there she can be prepared :-) Also wondering if they do any themed nights? White, Mardi Gras, Fiesta Deck party, etc..... Thanks so much for your help :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreytRacer Posted January 6, 2016 Author #90 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Great review! I am taking a 1st time cruiser on this same itinerary Feb 1st. You said you still have the Fun Times - anyway you would be willing to scan those and post them? She has no idea what to expect and rather than her be overwhelmed once she gets there she can be prepared :-) Also wondering if they do any themed nights? White, Mardi Gras, Fiesta Deck party, etc..... Thanks so much for your help :-) Thanks for reading! I'm not really set up to scan, but I can answer your question about theme nights: The first night was Ladies Night and Electric White Night in the Stripes Nightclub 2nd Night (Key West) was the Captain's Celebration 3rd night (Cozumel) was the Red Frog vs Blue Iguana Deck Party and the Love and Marriage Show The final night (Sea Day) was Hasbro the Game Show and the Towel Animal Theater (both daytime). The Casino band did 80's music that night. Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like to take a cruise on the Estacy but my DH don't like short cruises.too bad we live just 15 minutes from the POM. Thanks for reading! We prefer longer cruises as well, but we'll take a short one if that's what is in the budget or all we have time for. :-). If we lived as close to POM as you do, we'd be sailing once a month! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjn911 Posted January 9, 2016 #98 Share Posted January 9, 2016 This was a great review...I have 2 Carnival cruises and my favorite I must say was 4 day on Fantasy class Paradise out of Long Beach...I am glad they have music that is improving..and learned the "new" things about turndown and no Lobster Elegant night..it is just great when you can enjoy easy ports and the ship like you did...I too love that Serenity....having availability on that area is really special...smaller size..neat area..the ocean and port view is yours..so glad you were able to get a nice cruise in on the "roof" year....blessings....thanks so much for the great photos and review.

LPYRCRUISER Posted January 15, 2016 #99 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Our very first Carnival cruise, 20 years ago was on the Ecstasy. Now, our teenagers have grown up and we have 11 grandchildren. We've pretty much decided to do this as our first ever family cruise. We've all cruised separately and we think we have our schedules coordinated to be able to do this cruise! It will be exciting to see the reactions of the 9 grandkids whom have never cruised. Loved your review. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
