Carnival Fascination

Sail date: February 03, 2019

Ship: Carnival Fascination

Review summary

I would never recommend this ship to anyone. No entertainment, it wasn't much to do and most of the time me and my wife walked around the ship and ended up going back to the cabin. We were very disappointed to find out their was no "All White Party. We brought extra clothes just for that. The food wasn't so great either. Everyday the same food was served at the sensation dining room with 1 or 2 different appetizers. .There was one situation we weren't happy about and that was when we asked 2 different servers for ice they took 15-20mins just to bring it. However ( guest services/shoreline excursions) were very helpful with advice and questions we needed to know. The fascination ship is only good for eating and sleeping, If you retired and really dont care for too much entertainment maybe this is good for you. If you ask me would I go back on this ship? i probably would.. with one exception. ONLY if carnival give me a good deal going to island's me and my wife never been before. My wife say's she would never go back on lol. We both loved the islands where the ship docked but disappointed with the overall cruise experience itself.

Food was ok could've been better, one of the best thing's was the late night pizza shop that open 24hrs.

This part of the ship definitely deserves an upgrade. I think that it would make people want to come back.

I love the island just had a bad experience with one of the lady security guards, my wife had asked a simple question politely and got turned away. We are tourist and just wanted to know where we can get a passport stamp, the security guard was bothered by it and told us we should just come later with an attitude. We probably wont go back that feeling made us feel very unwelcoming.

Castries, St. Lucia

Such a beautiful island. Me and my wife took a tour. We went to the top of the mountains and back. Awesome experience!

You should always research what is important to you. Not all Carnival ships do the same thing.
