Review summary

It was a great experience until our way home and the boat was creaking and could not sleep the whole night. It was a little scary and was hoping we were ok to get home. I cannot say enough about the staff, wonderful and very friendly to everyone.

Ours creaked on high seas last month on tge Fascination the last night, first time in 12 cruises but it was pretty good waves. My husband starting laughing at me when I shot up out of bed it sounded like the room was going to collapse, he was former Navy so he knew how it sounded.
