Review summary

Nice ship.... Since I had already been on the Liberty and the Conquest, the Fascination was "nice", but I think I prefer the two larger ships. I am glad that it had been updated with Guys Burgers, Blue Iguana an Red Frog. I still prefer the bigger ships with the Dive In movies. I was a little disappointed in the excursions on St. Kitts and St. Maarten. I did the zipline excursion in St. Kitts, and I didn't feel like I got $100 worth, doing only 4 ziplines that lasted way less than a minute each. View was nice, but way too short. I went on the plane watching excursion in St. Maarten, and we stayed off shore. I would have preferred to be directly on the beach to experience the plane flyover. Airfare was a bit expensive to get to San Juan, just to get on the ship. Then again, if we hadn't started at a point so far south, we would not have been able to visit all those southern islands. I enjoyed all the food and drink on the cruise!
