Review summary

Would go on the Fascination again!! Our only major disappointment with carnival was the airport transfer labeled "faster to the fun", which actually was slower confusing and more expensive.

Embarkation

3 out of 5
The only negative thing about our embarkation was the airport transfer through carnival, it was horrible. There was no labeled desk to meet transfer people, we waited atleast 20 mins before we found a carnival representative, then another 40mins for the bus. When the bus came the carnival representative wanted me to leave my luggage in the middle of the hallway near the unlabled desk unattented, when I refused he seemed frustrated and rude ( noone else had to leave their luggage so it seemed odd to me). A taxi would have been faster and cheaper. Once we got to the Port everything went smooth!!!

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
Guys burger and blue Iguana were fantastic!!! Imagination dining rooms food was always great, our service was on the slow side and we missed a show or 2 but enjoyed our time together. The buffet always had many options, and the 24 hour pizza was the perfect midnight snack!!!

Great Bay beach was beautiful itself and close to shops/ restaurants... $7 round trip water taxi. The people near/on the beach were very pushy though! We got an umbrella with 2 chairs, bucket of beer, wifi and bathroom access for $25, the people who offered us this were very nice and it was to the left of the pier which was less crowded than the right side.
