Myself, my spouse and two children, one with autism, all got on board the Fascination leaving from Jax, FL. We thought we would try this, since it was convenient for us being in town. This is a smaller ship than we are used to (more on that later).
Embarkation - Since we were VIP's this was Awesome! The best than any other port. They rolled out the red carpet, walked us to our state room. Provided a tour of the ship for my son, and a special safety brief. Lunch was okay.
We left on time, the James Point Bridge appears to be a close call!!
U83 This room is a GS with a regular balcony. The room did not have all working lamps. The bathroom in the GS's on this class ship have very deep tubs, which mean very tall sides, making it difficult to climb in and out. The shower/tub water was rather challenging to turn on and off. The closet is great although not very roomy for two people. Just the girl :). There are ample drawer space located throughout the cabin. There is a refrigerator. You can ask for it to be emptied if you wish to use it. We had Nguyen for a steward and he was awesome! This has one King Bed that is two twins pushed together, you can feel the seam, but the mattresses were new. We asked for extra pillows. The couch is a lay down double bed, leather/pleather, very slippery and cold at night. Good for kids. There is no heat in this room, only A/C. Keep in mind for winter cruises and pack warm PJs.
