We chose this cruise because of the ports it visited. We traveled with two other "Senior" couples. We really enjoyed the Fascination. There was never any long waits for anything. The food was great, we dined in the dining room every night and most of the breakfasts. Our dining team of Dennis/Andi/Martinus did an excellent job! Our Cabin Steward, Sherwin, also was very attentive and professional.

There was only two negatives that occurred during this cruise. On the second evening when we went to our early dinner sitting at 6:00, we were seated at a table set for 12. (I had emailed a request the week before for a table of 6.) The table should not have been set for more than 10 people (the other tables surrounding us of the same size only had 10). We could barely move in the cramped seating. At the end of the meal, the other group of 6 asked to be relocated because of the uncomfortable seating. The rest of the week, we were the only group at the table, but they continued to set it for 12, so it was still cramped. The last day we finally pulled away a chair ourselves in order to get some space. The other negative was having our excursion for St. Maarten on Saturday cancelled the day before. We didn't find out about the cancellation until we returned to the ship from our tour of St. Kitts. The shore excursion desk was only opened from 5-7 that evening and we didn't get a chance to book another excursion. We did, however, decide to find one of our own on the island and had a great day at half the cost of our cancelled outing!

None of us are big on beach days, so we enjoyed land tours on each of the islands:

The cabin is your very typical inside stateroom. Sherwin did a great job in providing us anything we needed. He provided ice twice a day and serviced the room both mornings and evenings. Being on the lower level, towards the middle of the ship gave us a relatively smooth cruise. The location was very accessible to most of the public areas.
