From start to end I will tell you everything I've learned about cruising! If you are a laid back person and understand sometimes there will be mistakes and if your not picky then this review is for you! This was our first cruise and we had a Blast! We booked the cruise we went on 8 months in advance and saved a lot of money that way! We went and bought our passports and then waited about 2 months before cruise was to set sail to buy new clothes, luggage and whatever we thought we would need for the trip! This Cruise on the Fascination was for mine and my husbands 5 year Anniversary away without our kids, and we had the Best Most Relaxing Time of our Lives...Thanks to Carnival!

We set sail on Monday, October the 10Th. We were suppose to dock out at 4pm but due to the weather we had to wait until 11:30pm to leave Jacksonville. We were able to go straight to our cabins once on board. We had a room with port holes, just enough view for the time that we were in the rooms. We were able to do anything on the ship while docked, we were already having fun and hadn't even let yet. So we had dinner in our Sensation Dining Area, they sang and danced around after we ate, and then we just walked and looked around at everything on the Ship and was wowed with everything! So after we left Jacksonville Dock and headed into the Sea, it was bed time.

The 2Nd day we had a sea day! It was fun day! Danced, Ate, Drank, took a nap in the adult section of the ship, Hit up the Hot Tub, and the Pool Area! Then supper time and this night was our Captain's Dinner so everyone was dressed up, it was nice to dress up and have fun! Had Tons and Tons of Pictures made!! Get ready for the Best Food of all times in the Dining Room!! We had something different every night to eat, awesome foods! Again Singing and Dancing in the Dining Area!! Read more
