Carnival Fasination

I took a cruise to Key West, FL and Mexico on Carnival Fascination and it was amazing! The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I always dreaded my picture being taken but there was one lady in particular that made me smile and want to take my picture every time I passed so I did and it turned out to be really fun. The pictures turned out great and I bought almost every picture I took during my cruise.


By the end of the cruise I was sad to leave the staff, the waiters seemed like family, they had a great sense of humor and joked with us every night at dinner time. The rooms are so comfortable. You would think on a cruise they would be too small to be as comfortable as they were but honestly I felt more at home in Carnivals rooms then I did at many of the hotels I have stayed at. The origami towel animals placed on our beds everyday were works of ART! I took a picture of them every time we got a new one!

My favorite part had to be going to the top of the ship and staring out into the ocean especially at night looking up at the stars. It is a magical feeling that you will never understand until you are there. There was a big theater room on our ship to watch movies in and the atmosphere was so nice it was dark, quiet, and had comfy couches.


People talk about the food on cruises a lot but I had so much fun on the ship with the movies, duty free shopping, bar, ocean view room and pools that I didn't eat nearly as much as I thought I would but indeed I did eat. The food was excellent and I loved that you could get ice cream at 2am if you wanted and all the burgers and fries you want during the day.


The ship was very clean and it was easy to navigate from one place to another. I looked forward to the ships itinerary every morning with the list of daily activities! There was karaoke and the room service. Chocolate Cake delivered to your room for free at midnight? Are you kidding me? Room service was awesome!!

The experience was life changing and I plan on going on another cruise this year. Carnival has the friendliest staff, the best activities, the best destinations, the best prices AND leaves out of Baltimore! I couldn't ask for anything more!
