Review summary

That old ship needs to be upgraded more or retired. Port San Juan is a popular port and the Fascination is too small to be down there! Carnival needs to think more about customer service or they will not be number one much longer.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Even the first cruise after dry dock and boarding late, the embarkation was good.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

1 out of 5

The Guy's burger joint and the Blus Iguana were wonderful but the rest was not good.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

No balls for ping pong after first day. No big screen TV on lido, no basketball.

Casino Royale

1 out of 5

Such HORRIBLE smoke odor that I could not stand to be in there! There needs to be a better ventillation system installed.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

The entertainers were not good! Dancers and comedians awful. I would rather be on Lido watching movies on a big screen TV

Service and Staff

3 out of 5

Most staff friendly but some are not good with customers

Ship Quality
