What is Fantasy Fest?

Fantasy Fest is a celebration of art, music, body painting and general craziness. The festival showcases the spirit of Key West with colorful street parades, costume competitions and other madcap activities. Over 70,000 people squeeze onto Key West during the last week of October and the festival culminates with the annual Fantasy Fest Parade and Street Dance. Our ship, the Carnival Miraclewill dock for two nights in downtown Key West providing passengers with the ultimate seats to all of the festivities planned for the 28th and 29th of October, the final days of the festival. The cruise continues as our ship sails away on October 30th to the 50 million dollar "fun port" on Grand Turk Island.

Ports of Call

Key West, Florida - is the southernmost city in the continental U.S. and the largest and most vibrant of a chain of tiny islands call the Florida Keys.  With ever-present warm temperatures and sparkling seas, the island is blessed with some of Florida's most spectacular scenery.  Located closer to Cuba than to Miami, Key West's remote island allure laced with continental United States comforts have made the Port of Key West one of the funkiest and most vibrant ports of call in all of cruising.

The Carnival Miracle will be docked at the port in Key West October 28th and 29th for FantaSEA Fest, providing our passengers with the best seats and accommodations in town.  The dock is within walking distance of many of Key West's famous attractions.  Visitors can take a stroll down Duval Street with its bustling restaurants, bars and boutiques, or wander off the beaten path to explore the history and architecture and laid-back ambiance of Old Town Key West.  The nightly Sunset Celebration at Mallory Dock is a great way to experience the sunset in the southernmost spot in the USA.

Half Moon Cay, Bahamas - Located on 45 acres of the 2,400 acre Little San Salvador Island, Half Moon Cay is considered to the most beautiful and pristine of the cruise lines' private islands.  The island offers everything you need for a day of play in paradise:  a two-mile crescent of perfect beach; an interior lagoon; private beachside cabanas with butler service, showers and misters; and all manner of water sports and activities.

Grand Turk Island - Grand Turk is one of the islands that form the Turks and Caicos archipelago, located 575 miles southeast of Miami, Florida, and 30 miles south of the Bahamas.  The island is home to the world's third-largest barrier reef.  It's 2.5 miles long, making it a longtime favorite of divers and snorkelers.

The Grand Turk Cruise Center is a world-class, beachfront cruise facility nestled among nearly 14 acres of landscaped grounds.  The cruise center's location and the island's geography offer vessels a safe approach and berthing year-round.  At the cruise center guests can swim in the sparkling ocean waters or in one of the largest swimming pools in the Caribbean, stroll along the idyllic beach, relax in a complimentary chaise lounge on the beach or around the pool and rent a private poolside cabana for the day.
