My review will be pretty short and to the point.....Although a lot of people have said that the Fascination is old and doesnt have this or that or is missing all these bells and whistles that a newer ship has, let me just say that the ship is great and I didn't see anything wrong with it. The room was spacey and comfortable. The staff was great..... no issues there. My only issue was with the itinerary. The itinerary took us to Key West from 7am-3pm. Too short of a visit. Many places didnt open until after 9am. The timing here was horrible. I wish we would have been at the keys longer. The second stop was in the Bahamas. We arrived at 12pm and left at 10pm. We had a dolphin swin excursion in atlantis and by the time that was done and over with we decided to visit the city outside of Atlantis and visit some of the shops. Well, the shops closed around 3 and some closed around 4. We also went to Senor Frogs, It seemed like everyone on the ship was at senor frogs. The drinks are strong and expensive and really not worth it. The place also stunk big time!!! After 5pm there really isnt much to do in the Bahamas because everything was practically closed. Atlantis is very nice and very pricey. If you plan on spending the whole time there, good luck! All in all, the trip was good. It was a much needed vacation. Next time I will really take a look into the times of the itineraries before deciding on a trip.
