After a tough start getting to FL due to Hurricane Irene, we boarded the Carnival Fascination on Monday, 8/29 for our 5-night cruise out of Jacksonville. Embarkation was easy and the lines moved quickly. We brought our allotted 2 bottles of wine per person through security and were on our way.
Lunch is only served on the Lido Deck the first day (the Main Dining Room is closed until dinner), so it was pretty crowded but we found a table, ordered a bucket of beer and had some lunch. The buffet was fine and we also tried the pizza (good) and the deli (a nice variety of sandwiches and paninis).
CABINS
Cabin M151 - Deck 5: Decent closet space but only 4 small drawers (none in the nightstands). Awkward arrangement when the bunk is pulled down to accommodate a 3rd person. Terrible water pressure in the shower - barely trickled out.
