Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview 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. Ship Details: Ship Quality Wish it had another pool. Dining/Food Dining rooms had by far the best food. Stateroom Quality Cleaned room twice a day. Super friendly room staff! Ship Staff Quality Entertainment & Activities There could definitely be more activities, but it was good. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 50 - 65 Cruise Experience: 2 - 3 cruises Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Oceanview 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. Ship Details: Ship Quality Elevators could use some work on their logic Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Decor is dated yet workable not much you can do with the space provided.

I will try another carnival Ship Details: Ship Quality They try to stay on top of the cleanliness of the ship area by cleaning very often I was impressed enjoy the customer service area at night. however, the layout was confusing. Dining/Food The dining room need to be cleaner we sat at window seat every night and to our surprised all the windows and window sill were dirty.. Stateroom Quality The room was comfortable enough for us to sleep like a baby!!! Ship Staff Quality A lot of the staff was not friendly..not sure if it's there culture but our attendant was great Entertainment & Activities wish we had more of adult activities and later activities, children had activities until 3am. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Singles/friends Stateroom Type: Inside Fun and Relaxing trip! by A Traveler from Kentucky Sailing date: May 2012 This was such a great cruise with lots of activities, excellent food, very relaxing, and the nicest and most helpful waitstaff and other employees that I have ever met. Ship Details: Ship Quality The only complaint was that it was difficult to get places the first couple of days even with the map. Dining/Food Stateroom Quality Ship Staff Quality Everyone was extremely nice and friendly, but the waitstaff in particular was amazing. They were so nice, knew what they were talking about, and made the experience wonderful. Entertainment & Activities 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?

The cruise line put in an extra stop at Freeport to make up for it. Overall a good time away !! Ship Details: Ship Quality The ship had the traditional layout of a Carnival ship, so if you have sailed before you won't get lost Dining/Food Excellent with a good variety and always hot Stateroom Quality Look out for the animal folded towels in your well kept stateroom Ship Staff Quality All the staff were very friendly and welcoming Entertainment & Activities Talent nights were great 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

Overall Rating: About the Reviewer: Age: 18 - 29 Cruise Experience: First cruise Traveler Type: Couple Stateroom Type: Balcony An awesome experience! by Meagan T from New Orleans, LA Sailing date: Apr 2012 Pros: Comedy shows Cons: Drink prices I was a first time cruiser and it was a great experience. The wait staff was awesome and remembered our preferences, the cabin stewards were very friendly and kept our cabin clean, the bartenders were also very nice! There was staff constantly cleaning and keeping the ship "tidy". The comedy shows (Tim Foss and The Cowbow Comedian) were fantastic, the food was great, the shows were entertaining. We missed our Freeport port because of bad weather, but I was grateful that the captain would make a call that was in the best interest of our safety! Our excursions were refunded before we even had to look at our account, that very same morning, so there was absolutely no hassle in the fact that we missed it, and it gave us another fun ship day, which was still amazing! Ship Details: Ship Quality I was very impressed with the constant cleaning of the ship. I dont think I ever saw dust or a mess or a dirty window! Dining/Food I'm a picky eater, but there was always something for me to eat, and everything that I did try, tasted good! Stateroom Quality A friend said she thought the rooms would be bigger, but I was satisfied with the size of the room....I wasn't planning on spending much time in there anyways! Ship Staff Quality They were all amazing, I did not have any bad experiences. Everyone was helpful when we needed them and friendly when we didnt! Entertainment & Activities My favorite was the comedy shows!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful?
