Feb Cruise on Fascination
Okay cruise; been to Nassau several times; probably won't go again. Ship is dated, but okay. As usual service on Carnival was excellent; food good except for Lido Deck buffet at lunch where all the food stations were extremely crowded. We've sailed 3 times on the Fascination and had never encountered this; never got to sample the Chinese or Deli because of extremely long lines. We thoroughly enjoyed Little Stirrup Cay; didn't know what to expect as we'd never been to one of the cruise line islands; the weather was good which helped. The cruise met our expectation which was simply to get away just the two of us and find some sun and warmer weather. Will definitely sail Carnival again, but probably not the Fascination.

Mardi Gras
Get to the Center Stage area early if you are interested in a show; it is small and if you have to sit at the back, you can't see everything. Don't miss Voodoo Moon!
Little Stirrup Cay (Cruise Line Private Island), Bahamas
We loved this; had never been to a cruise line island; weather was great which helped; I'm sure it's awful if the weather doesn't cooperate. Great little island.
JaxPort is easy to get to; parking is no problem; we were one hour from hotel to lunch on board.
Undergoing lots of renovation which is needed; been there several times. Probably won't go again for a few years.
Carnival Fascination
Not sure I would spring for a suite again on this ship; not that much different than a balcony room. Save yourself a few bucks and just get the balcony classification.
