Just arrived home yesterday from a four night cruise on the Fascination to the Bahamas. Three of us went -- me, my Mom and my Aunt.

First, I will address the room. We booked a junior suite with balcony. we were so excited to have a room with a balcony but VERY disappointed at the size of the balcony. No way three of us could get on the balcony at one time and it was difficult to manage two at a time. If I did it again, I would skip the balcony unless I knew it was larger. Besides that, the room was adequate and service was good.

Food - I thought the food was always very good and I am sure I have a few extra pounds to prove it. Plenty of variety and we did not experience any particularly long lines. My Mom and Aunt didn't think the food was as good as their prior cruises, but no real complaints. Not sure about the your time dining...very nice to be able to go eat when we wanted, but having a different wait crew each night was not so great. The last night - head waiter Darrill - was terrible. They should not be in there. Read more
