Went on the Fascination March 21 - 26, 2016. Of course it was Spring Break and tons of kids on board. The kids were the only group who were in the both hot tubs during the entire cruise (not on the Serenity Deck of course). The only time I got to go into the hot tub was when we were in Nassau, which I didn't like so much as it was very commercialized. I disembarked for Nassau at 8:30 am and was back on the ship by 11 am. I finally found some peace and quiet on the pool deck.

I'm not sure why, but the kids were allowed to run amok at all hours. Some were running down my hallway on the Riviera deck at 2 am!

But other than the kids, the overall trip was wonderful! My only true disappointment was there was no free lobster on elegant night. I was on the Paradise 2 years ago and on elegant night the lobster was free. On this ship, it was a $20 surcharge. Not sure if Carnival has changed it on all ships now, but I would have really liked the lobster again. The food was great to my taste at least. Read more
