Just returned from the Fascination. 4 days Western Caribbean.
I have cruised 5 other times, usually in a Verandah Suite (HAL, Celebrity, RCI). This time inside cabin on the Empress Deck. Married, 35 years old, 3 children.
Fly into FLL (Monday), took Larry's Limo to Miami pier. Driver arrived on time, no traffic to Miami. There was a line @ the pier & since we weren't returning Carnival Cruisers or Suite passengers, we waited in the line, but it moved quickly, whole process at the pier took about 35 minutes until we got to the ship.
