Review summary

My husband and I decided to go on this Carnival Cruise for our honeymoon.  With both of us being first-time cruisers, we were not sure what to expect, but Carnival definitely impressed us.  Every staff member from the dining staff, to the entertainers, to housekeeping, worked to make this an incredible vacation for us.  We were completely taken care of, and we did not have to lift a finger all week! We also enjoyed our ports of call (Nassau and Freeport), as we had booked two excursions that allowed us to experience the islands.  Overall I would absolutely recommend a Carnival cruise.  We are already looking forward to our next one!

Service and Staff

We had excellent service and staff members who took wonderful care of us. They were efficient, kind, and funny!

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
Our only comment was that we were on the Carnival Fascination which had only one swimming pool, and did not seem to be large enough for the many guests onboard.

Cabin / Stateroom

5 out of 5
Although we had an interior room, we loved our cabin! It was always clean, with fresh towels, and there was plenty of space for two adults.

Ship tip

Purchase a (waterproof) camera! We loved capturing photos of our time onboard, as well as our excursions. When we went swimming with the dolphins and kayaking, we were able to take our camera in the water with us, giving us amazing photos and video! Also, bring an air freshener for your cabin!

Ports of call

Jacksonville, Florida

Nassau, Bahamas

Freeport, Grand Bahama Island

If you can, definitely book an excursion for Freeport, as there is not as much to do and transportation is not as accessible.

We took the Fascination on our honeymoon cruise as well. That was our first cruise and we had a blast.
