Just back from a 5 night cruise with my wife to the Bahamas on Carnival Fascination. Wanted to get away for a few days and this is a cruise port that is only 4 hours away and the cruise pricing is low, compared to other lines. We are senior citizens and this was our 14th cruise. First cruise on Carnival.

Embarkation went smoothly. Arrived at port at approx. 10:45 AM and was on board by 11:30 AM. Went up to buffet for lunch and then room was ready. Luggage arrived by 2 PM. Our ocean view cabin #R183 was larger than expected and offered plenty of storage space. Our cabin steward "Jose" did a great job of keeping our cabin in great shape. The ship is small compared to todays newer ships. It is one of Carnivals older ships, but is clean and well maintained. The staff was always friendly and eager to serve. Very attractive cruise pricing resulted in fellow passengers being a much younger, partying crowd (which could be expected). We had late seating in the Imagination Dining Room. We were assigned Table number 393 and the service provided by the staff was excellent. Food portions were small, but you can order multiple appetizers and entrees is wanted. Beef dishes were good and the lobster was great! Entertainment was okay, but not great. Male guitar player and singer in the atrium was excellent. Talent show in the Palace Theater was very enjoyable. Disembarkation was somewhat confusing, but once off the ship, the luggage claim area and customs went quickly and smoothly.

Pleasantly surprised at the cabin size and storage space. Near to Aft elevators, which made for an easy trip up to the Imagination Dining Room and the Buffet area. No noise problems. Adequate shower size. Our cabin steward "Jose" did an excellent job and kept our cabin in tip top shape. Always greeted us by name.
