Traveled with children

We booked this cruise about 45 days prior to sailing and were very pleased with the rate we received. This was our second cruise on Carnival and enjoyed this one much more than our first. The crew of the Fascination did a wonderful job of keeping us entertained, fed and pampered. Everything from the onboard shows, to the Kids Club activities were enjoyed by my family. It was our daughters first cruise and she had a blast meeting new friends at the Kids Club, swimming in the pool/hot tub and playing putt-putt up on the Sports Deck.

Pros -

1. Port of Jacksonville was great. We paid the $75 to park onsite, arrived early and got a great spot right up front. Well worth the $$ paid. We had entertained parking offsite, but were so glad we didn't. When we disembarked the ship we went straight to our car, loaded up and were out of the port within 15 minutes of our feet touching land.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6C

Nice size room for our family of 3. Two adults and a 10 year old. Our daughter loved the fold down bed and our cabin stewart did a wonderful job of making her feel special each evening with her towel animals. He took the time to incorporate some of her personal items into the design each evening and she absolutely loved it. Room was clean, no odors to speak of and no visible signs of wear and tear. Beds were great, best sleep the wife and I have had in a long time. Not sure if all the credit goes to the beds or the gentle rocking of the ship each evening. When we were first assigned this room we thought it might not be good being so close to the elevator. But we rarely heard guest coming or going in the hallways. It was so much better than we had imagine. I would stay in this room again, absolutely.
