Let's get one thing straight. The Fascination is not a ship for the sophisticated or the gourmet. Those seeking solace should most definitely look elsewhere.

On one long interior boulevard, an entire string of bars and clubs caters for every taste, from piano concerto to pounding disco. The forward show lounge features the Vegas-style revues for which Carnival is justly famous. Encompassed within the promenade, banquettes framed by sea view windows provide ideal spaces for chilling out or people watching.
As you might expect, the casino is enormous, a whirring, chirping and clanging neon zeppelin hanger that goes on 24/7.
