Great cruise even with detour! by
Mandy c. from Nashvillle, tn Sailing date: Aug 2012Pros: 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 QualityWish it had another pool. Dining/FoodDining rooms had by far the best food. Stateroom QualityCleaned room twice a day. Super friendly room staff! Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesThere could definitely be more activities, but it was good. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

   Our thirtieth anniversary cruise, our fi by
David S from Cleveland, Ohio Sailing date: Aug 2012Pros: 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 QualityElevators could use some work on their logic Dining/Food
Stateroom QualityDecor is dated yet workable not much you can do with the space provided. Ship Staff Quality

An awesome experience! by
Meagan T from New Orleans, LA Sailing date: Apr 2012Pros: 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 QualityI 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/FoodI'm a picky eater, but there was always something for me to eat, and everything that I did try, tasted good! Stateroom QualityA 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 QualityThey were all amazing, I did not have any bad experiences. Everyone was helpful when we needed them and friendly when we didnt! Entertainment & ActivitiesMy favorite was the comedy shows!! 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.

Great Time by
A Traveler from Indiana Sailing date: Feb 2012Pros: Stateroom Service Cons: Drink Prices Overall We were very happy with the ship, crew, food. The only thing was the drinks prices were salty. Luckily me and my wife didn't drink much on the ship. Ship QualityThe ship was perfect size, with the hand guide that you receive was perfect getting around! Dining/FoodThe Dinning room was wonderful. Service was Excellent! Stateroom QualityWe stayed in a Ocean view room which was perfect for us being first time cruisers. The beds for me were hard but you will have that. Ship Staff QualityI can say enough about the staff. They were great, friendly, would do anything and everything to make your trip a great one. Lee our steward was Wonderful, our dinning room staff were also over the top. Great job to them all. Entertainment & ActivitiesSo much to do and so little time to do it. the Comedian Roman was hilarious, we laughed from the time he started till the time it was over. 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

What a great time! by
Richard M from Lansing, MI Sailing date: Feb 2012Pros: The food, shows, staff, and greats were wonderful Cons: Money for Alcohol! The ship was spotless the entire cruise. This ship is a little older but still beautiful! Ship QualityEverything was clean and even in the Casino where you could smoke, the smoke eaters make it so that you didn't come out smilling like an ashtray. Dining/FoodThe food on the ship was supurb and had the variety to suit all. One of the people we came down with has a peanut alergy and they wen't out of thier way to accomodate. Stateroom QualityDidn't spend much time in the stateroom but housekeeping was great. Ship Staff QualityStaff was the best and always happy! They were one of the hilights of the cruise Entertainment & Activities

Graet cruise - worth the investment by
Paul S. from Houma, LA Sailing date: Jan 2012Pros: The crew Cons: Nothing The ship was great. Huge and stable. Ship QualityA little confusing reqarding what was where - fore and aft - but the hand guide was very helpful. Dining/FoodWow. Not to be missed. Stateroom QualityI thought they were going to be small. They were fine. Very clean. Try visiting Japan or Switzerland if you want to see what a small room is. Entertainment & ActivitiesTop Notch - particularly the shows, True Identity, George Adams, The Show Band, etc. Real Pro's. 2 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

First Cruise! I'm an addict! by
Brandi W from Smiths, AL Sailing date: Nov 2011Pros: So much to do! Cons: Debarkation slightly stressful on Riviera deck My overall impression is that this ship has the best, friendliest staff of anywhere that I have stayed. The food was awesome, the ship was immaculate 24/7, and the whole atmosphere was just awesome. Ship QualityVery beautiful and extremely clean. Dining/FoodFood was awesome. I highly recommend "your-time" dining (what we had). We didn't have to wait long for the evening dining room. The ledo deck food was also very tasty. The presentation, the variety, and the taste of everything was just top notch! Stateroom Qualitystaterooms were small but we weren't there much anyway so this had no impact on our ship. The rooms were very clean and the room service was awesome. Ship Staff Quality
Entertainment & ActivitiesOur ship director, Jen, was the best. She made the cruise very organized and also made it so much for fun! 
Collapse List of Ports
Freeport, Grand Bahama IslandVery clean and the people were a lot nicer at this port. I was barefoot from being on the beach and I stepped on a yellow jacket which stung me through my toe. There were absolute strangers (locals) that went completely out of their way to help me. They put lime on my foot and took the sting away. They were so nice. Anyway, the beaches were so clean and the water was bright blue. We had a fabulous time. I even danced and did pool aerobics with a free instructor. This was very relaxing and fun.
Don't Miss: Wyndam all inclusive excursion resort. This was a blast! Nassau, BahamasNassau was nasty and very impoverished. We wanted to just walk around this port, we didn't buy an excursion for this one and we should have. We got ripped off at a tshirt/souveneir shop. Most places just made up prices without having them labeled. We went back to the ship and had a lovely day.
Don't Miss: must have an excursion package... our biggest regret. 0 out of 0 people found this review helpful.
