Review summary

Had an amazing time!! Went with a few friends for our spring break trip. Staff were so nice and polite and always remembered us by our first names! They always had a lot of activities to do and most were entertaining. We purchased the drink package which worked out well. The only complaint was that we went to carnivals private island (Half Moon Cay) and they wouldn't let us use our drink package when we got off the ship. That was very disappointing especially when you pay so much money for it. Overall it was a great trip. I would recommend. I would like to try a different ship thiugh besides the Fascination! :-)

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

dining staff was awesome! loved the shows! food was good too! not a fan of the cold food in the Italian section though. wish it would have been hot.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

loved the talent show! wish there was more entertainment at night out on the deck. instead just one night having a deck party, there should be one every night.

We had 4 college girls in one room and actually survived. we were able to hang what we needed put a few things in the drawer and on shelves in the cupboard and the rest we left in a suitcase under the bed.

Ship tip

We brought our GoPro and used it for our excursions and just while sitting around the pool to take pictures and videos! They turned out amazing! I also brought a mini fan to use in the room. Best idea I had!

Your GoPro video must be pretty amazing. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd love to see it. If you post it on YouTube or Vimeo, get back to us Cruiseline.com readers with the link to it. Many of us shoot video and appreciate others who do likewise.
