The whole cruise is labelled as FUN and I must say it was a bit like Butlins on the sea. The things I liked were the service in the restaurant, room service and the bar The rooms were lovely and the attendant was really good fun.entertainment, especially Sean D and Keys McLaughlin, the band was really good too although I cant remember their name. The way the crew dealt with man overboard on the last day was excellent and very professional. The embarkation and disembarkation was excellent and very speedy The didn't likes were the Serenity adult deck was too small and there was no pool just 2 hot tubs. I felt sorry for the entertainment as every time the speaker cut in to their set they had to start again building up their set. I wasn't keen on the silly dancing in the restaurant or the lack of dressing for dinner.

Excellent cruise. Crew multinational and very dedicated to give a high standard. Informal cruising with a couple of elegant nights. Carnival Fascination is an American ship currently based in Puerto Rico,its a party boat with lots going on. The entertainment director worked extremely hard to organise the day to day entertainment and to keep everyone informed about the days activities. Ports visited were good and the ship always tied up in the main cruise ports it visited. No tenders. Small but comfortable staterooms, food excellent and plenty of it.

All in all we really enjoyed our cruise. We were disappointed about the food in the main restaurant and I have already reported this to Carnival. The ports were perfect and shore excursions well done . Travel to and from the Caribbean was good apart from immigration at Atlanta.
