I just got back from a fabulous 5-night Carnival Cruise aboard the Carnival Fantasy. While the Fantasy might not be a new ship, it does have a new home port in Charleston, South Carolina!
The Carnival Fantasy is the first year-round cruise from the Port of Charleston.
Now, families from the southeast and midwest won't have to travel to Florida to sail to the Bahamas!
Itineraries
Carnival Fantasy has a new schedule of five, six and seven-day voyages from Charleston.
- Five-day voyages will sail Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and will visit Freeport and Nassau, Bahamas.
- Six-day voyages set sail on Saturdays and visit Freeport, Nassau and Key West, Fl.
- Seven-day voyages also set sail on Saturdays, but visit Grand Turk, the private island of Half Moon Cay, and Nassau.
The Ship
Carnival Fantasy received a major makeover in September 2008. New additions include WaterWorks Aqua Park with a 300-foot-long water slide, dual racing slides and spray apparatus for the little ones; Serenity, an adults-only area with two whirlpools; a redesigned resort-style main pool on the Lido deck; and a 9-hole miniature golf course on the sports deck.
The namesake vessel in Carnival's Fantasy-class can hold up to 2,056 passengers and offers a wide variety of programs and activities for children, teens and adults.
My family experienced one of the first sailings from Charleston as part of a media group hosted by Carnival. I will be sharing our entire adventure aboard the Carnival Fantasy and our visit to Charleston, Freeport and Nassau- stay tuned!

Hi,
I am sailing on the Fantasy out of CHS in a few weeks; I yesterday I ran into someone who went in May, she had nothing nice to say about the boat. What was your experience? This is my 8th Carnival Cruise and my 2nd time on the Fantasy with my 1st time being in 1997.
The main purpose of the cruise is an early b-day present for my 10yr old son, so will the kids have fun?
Wishing You Bliss,
Gaylie
