Carnival Fascination Review

Additional details
First a bit about ourselves: Early 40s and 11yr old Boy and 9yr old Boy from Georgia; This was an Easter Cruise and there were 1000+ kids 18 and under on this ship (no kidding).
Boarding: Parking at the cruise terminal was fast and easy. There was a long line but we were checked in and on the ship within 30 to 45 minutes.
Rooms: We had two ocean view rooms in the very back of the ship in the center. Rooms M262 and M269. Don't choose M262 because there is an staff stairwell directly across from your door. All throughout the night you will hear that door slam and your door rattle. My kids in the room next to us heard nothing. So choose that one. Because we were in the center of the ship we had one room steward and my kids had a different one. Ours was FANTASTIC. The kids not so much. We would come back to the room and it would be serviced and we would have to wait hours for the kids room to be done. The rooms were clean however, I did notice mold in the showers and a large rip in the carpet.
Cabin Review
Aft cabin in center of main floor. It was a bit larger than regular cabins and has an extra closet. However, this cabin is directly across from crew stairs and is very noisy. Everytime they slammed the door our door would rattle. One night I swear they were counting silverware! I would choose a room next door. M269. My kids had a great experience with that room.
