Mediocre cruise experience by A Traveler from Chapel Hill, NC
Sailing date: Sep 2012

Pros:
the crew (waiters and stewards specifically)

Cons:
food and the activities/entertaiment hosts (except for the Karoake hostess)

This was my first cruise experience. I guess my expectations were too high. The good aspects of the ship was meeting people (other cruisers and the crew). Everything else was dull. I will probably not return to this ship, but I am glad i went.

Great cruise even with detour! by Mandy c. from Nashvillle, tn
Sailing date: Aug 2012

Pros:
Nassau

Cons:
Freeport

Lots of things to do. Only one pool which made it hard to swim on days at sea. Really good cruise director. Man jumped overboard first night, so we had to miss our first port in key west, which I was really looking forward to, but they added Freeport instead.

Our thirtieth anniversary cruise, our fi by David S from Cleveland, Ohio
Sailing date: Aug 2012

Pros:
Ship staff, the ship itself and the food.

Cons:
Nassau

The Fascination though an older ship is still full of fight and vigor. Carnival is continuing to upgrade this ship and it is yet to show her age. I was on the Fantasy before this renovation (both ships have the same configuration) and this is by far better.

Pros:

The cruise was very good but with bad weather meant we missed out on Half Moon Cay. The cruise line put in an extra stop at Freeport to make up for it. Overall a good time away !!
