Bamagirl5833 Posted August 5, 2018 #1 Share Posted August 5, 2018 This will be my first cruise and I’m soooo excited! I would love any tips you can give, and would like to see who else is going on this cruise :). It’s Oct 11th on the Fantasy ship out of Mobile.

cruiserbrianj Posted August 5, 2018 #2 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Do an all inclusive day at Mr Sancho’s (if you like to drink). Great beach/water, awesome service. I just got back and every time I close my eyes I’m back there. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To find out who else might be cruising, look for a Roll Call for Mobile sailing date to Cozumel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamagirl5833 Posted August 6, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Ok THANK YOU! I will definitely do Mr Sanchos because this is an all girls trip, and YES there will be plenty of drinking going on lol. We want to let loose and have a good time. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris64 Posted August 6, 2018 #5 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I have sailed her before and will be on her again next week. Love sailing out of Mobile. Will give you current updates when I get back. What part of Bama are you from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanmarcosman Posted August 6, 2018 #6 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I second the suggestion you begin or join an existing Roll Call board for the date and ship you are sailing here on Cruise Critic. The port of call boards for the places you will be visiting hold a wealth of useful information for cruisers. Good luck and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LakeWobegon Posted August 6, 2018 #7 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Stop by the Thirsty Cougar in town. Their margaritas are fabulous. I hate margaritas but I loved their's because they were not so over the top sugary. They make great blends like banana mango. Anywhoo, get traditional if you want literally a mountain of iced fluff in your glass or on the rocks if you can't handle the ice cream headache and all that extra filler.

mackenzie80 Posted August 7, 2018 #12 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Also go to Facebook type in Carnival Fantasy October 11th 2018. There is a Facebook group full of cruisers on your same trip. Be careful when you go to Mr. Sanchos, it is perfectly safe, but make sure your phone is on ship time, and give yourself PLENTY of time to get back to the ship so you aren't left behind. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyboymom Posted August 7, 2018 #14 Share Posted August 7, 2018 I have sailed her before and will be on her again next week. Love sailing out of Mobile. Will give you current updates when I get back. What part of Bama are you from? Just curious if you park at the Mobile Port or if you park off site? We are sailing out of Mobile and that will be our first cruise from that Port. I have not had any luck finding any off site parking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing out of Mobile and that will be our first cruise from that Port. I have not had any luck finding any off site parking. Mobile Port is the best bet I believe. That said, we stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn and they have a park and stay rate where you still park at the port but it is significantly discounted. Unfortunately, we stayed on points and didn’t take advantage of the offer. Very nice hotel too btw Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lottacruises Posted August 8, 2018 #18 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Be sure to put down your $5 deposit for Mr sanchos or they could sell out and you won't get in. It's a great way to spend a Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are sailing out of Mobile and that will be our first cruise from that Port. I have not had any luck finding any off site parking. If you are looking to park off site just keep in mind that shuttles sometimes take over an hour to get you to your car. Many people are ready to get off ship and head home. I parked at port so I didn't have the extra frustration of having to wait to get on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
