Review summary

Amazing time! Faud was our steward. He kept our room in great shape. Alberto, Patricia, and Galford were great in the dining room. They were fun and very accommodating to our needs. We cruised with friends and family and will be taking another cruise in September 2019.

We did the volcano mud bath and plantation tour. It was beautiful with breathtaking views. The whole excursion lasted about 5 hours. The road is very winding. Still, I would do this again!

So happy to hear that you had a good experience on the fascination. We just came off of the Horizon Saturday but we booked for October 2019 on Fascination. I was a little concerned at first coming from a new ship with friends and family but I also know that no matter what we will have a great time regardless.

Vacation from hell... but not because of Carnival! Really only got to see 1 port.

Okay cruise

Terrible, rude crew didn’t honor their word, food was terrible, entertainment was almost zero. I will never use carnival again
