This was my husband and my second time on the Fascination and we are looking forward to going back on her again!:) Went this time with my Weight Watcher Posting Board Group and had an absolute blast! Ok, step by step review:
Embarkation: We highly recommend completing the new Fun Pass Quick Check In Online at Carnival.com!! There is a special Fun Pass line at the Miami cruise ship terminal and there was hardly any waiting in line once we got there!! We arrived around 11 a.m., zipped through security and the Fun Pass line, sat in lounge type waiting area with some of our fellow cruisers and were on board the ship a little after Noon! Though we were told the cabins would not be available until 1 p.m., we found out that they were all pretty much available when we boarded! Dropped our stuff off and headed to Lido deck for lunch!:)
Cabin: First time on her, back in 2001, we were on the Riviera deck. This time we were on the Empress deck. Wonderful for getting on and off the ship in Miami!! Straight shot! Cabin looked great and our cabin stewardess was wonderful! Cabin was always kept clean and she would stop by and check to see if there was anything at all that we needed!
