Thanks for sharing your adventures on the Ecstasy on boarding day. I know you and your mom will have a great time both onboard and ashore. And yes, the earlier class carnival ships might be smaller than the newer ones but they are also much more elegant in my opinion. Happy sailing!

After having gone on so many of the larger and megaships recently, this vlog made me want to go back to the smaller ships! They have such a cozy feeling and more personal it seems like.

The Ecstacy looks beautiful! We did our first Fantasy class ship last month on the Paradise. I'm surprised that it seemed like the Paradise had a little bit more than the Ecstacy. We were a little bit sceptical of a Fantasy class, but they do a great job being larger than it really is. We absolutely loved it!

Wow Josh, didn’t realize you had never been on the fantasy class. They are fun ships, I live in L.A and go on the Imagination and Inspiration a lot. The bench in the pool is there for a few reasons, one of which is that its shallower on smaller side. Also, to sit on, and go from one side to the other. And the one Jacuzzi isn’t covered because some people like to be in the sun when in the jacuzzi. Have a great time!

A couple of question. Based on this video you arrived in the parking at 11am and go on the ship around 1130am. Now can you go on at that time (even if your rooms are not ready?) You're allowed to walk around the ship (I would think), also, when you got back from this cruise, how long did it take you to get to your car and leave? I would like to know if it's faster to park at the terminal or to take an Uber to and from the hotel.
