I would NEVER, EVER get an aft cabin on the Fantasy, not even if it was for free. We were in 5168 aft cabin on the Fantasy last Jan. The size and condition of the cabin was wonderful and our hostess was the best that we've had out of our 3 cruises. And was quick down the hall to the kids club. It was also super quiet. However, the vibrations were horrible. It was like trying to sleep on top of a jack hammer. I usually sleep great on the ships, but not on this one. By the 3rd night I was about ready to jump off the ship, it was that bad. I've read many reports from others on here about bad aft experiences on the Fantasy. I didn't know about this site when I had booked the cruise, so happy I know about it now. Our's was before the last dry-dock, haven't read if it's any better since then. Have only been mid-ship on the Wonder, but haven't read anything bad about any of the areas on it.
