Another Excellent CCL Cruise

Review for the Bahamas Cruise on Carnival Fascination

I traveled with my husband and 19 year old son. We booked last minute and were lucky enough to get a mini-suite. Embarkation was fast and smooth, we were in the first F2F group onboard. Our stateroom was lovely, we have stayed in the Verandah before, so we knew what to expect. Javonda and her crew provided excellent steward service. We enjoyed the complimentary room service breakfast each AM, always on time, always the correct order, and always a follow up phone call checking on our service and order!

We had the beverage package and found the bar and wait staff to be very fast and attentive. We were sure to tip extra for any service we received. We appreciate how hard everyone on staff works for the guests. We had any time dining in the Sensation dining room, great service each night and Stan the Maitre D was engaging every night (and during the day as well) with the guests, he is the best Maitre D we have had on over 16 cruises. The food was very good, in some cases better than in the upcharge dining rooms on other lines.

My husband and son booked Atlantis Aquaventure through CCL, as lunch and transportation was included in the package. We enjoyed Serenity, the convenience of the Aft bar near Pirate Pizza and the good coffee at Bogart's throughout the cruise. The New Year's Eve party was great, with great music from Anchor Management prior to the countdown. The champagne flowed, even upon embarkation, and the wait staff made sure no glass was ever empty. We did self-debarkation with F2F and were in the car driving home by 8:20am. We were pleasantly surprised by the Fascination and would not hesitate to sail on her again.

Cabin Review

Junior Suite

Cabin JS

Comfortable for 3 people. Lots of storage space, good shower and fairly large bathroom. Small balcony but adequate for AM coffee and watching sunrises and sunsets.
