The staff was great, the dining staff remembered our names which was really nice. Our room attendant William was awesome, loved him. Comedy was good. Carnival had Marcus Anthony perform for 1 night only and he was awesome! I absolutely loved his Motown hits, that man can sing and he made everyone feel romantic during his hour long performance, he called 3 couples on the stage to slow dance, and even the couple's in the audience slow danced as well. It was a night for the lovers😍. I Wish I could share the videos. The ports were beautiful and only the reason I chose a older ship (Never again). With this ship you get 1 pool and during our time on the ship I got in it once, you have 3 hot tubs and the serenity hot tub had a young adult couple having sex in it which was disgusting. Smoking and drinking in the Lido pool shocked me😒. The young hot bodies were all feeling frisky, I've never seen anything like it on a carnival cruise. We started calling it the anything goes cruise because it seemed like there were NO RULES. There were lots of families and children every where which I didn't mind because I believe in family vacations. We didn't have much areas to sit, unless you stalked a seat and claimed it. We waited on long lines to eat every day, and the food was just ok, nothing special. I ordered the steak for 20 dollars and that was horrible. (Nothing like Carnivals steak house which I love) Muster drill took over an hour to do it in Spanish and English, in and outside, but safety first so we sucked it up. We definitely felt like the Fascinatin staff catered to the Spanish speaking folks which I fine with as well because I am from N.Y we have diversity everywhere. I felt like most of the cruisers on the ship was Puerto Ricans and Barbados folks so Muricans and were out numbered. My parents are Trini so I was cool with it as well. I was wishing for my Calypso music so I could pelt some waist, but we got salsa most of the time, luckily for me I can dance to salsa and I did dance a few times. The 80's glow party on Lido was cute and we enjoyed ourselves.. We did a Slot Pull with 30 other people in the casino and that was cool. Over all we met some really nice people on the cruise. I just didn't care for the Ship itself. (you get what you pay for it was cheap) The ship smelled like sewer sometimes some days more than others. The windows were so dirty you could hardy see the beatiful waters. I guess that's it for my review..
