lingram001 Posted May 23, 2013 #26 Share Posted May 23, 2013 I would also recommend being on an upper deck when pulling into Nassau, especially when he turns the ship to back in. Just amazes me how they can turn those ships like that. Yes, I am easily amused.... I did this and the combo of watching the sun rise, Nassau coming up, pulling into the port and the reverse dock, FANTASTIC!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTO-Girl Posted May 23, 2013 #27 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Search out Tommy he is one of the bartenders and probably the oldest one in the entire fleet!! He started working for Carnival in 87 and is one of the nicest people you will ever meet on a ship!:) If you ask if he is working the other bartenders will know where he is! He usually works at the atrium bar Lonnie Tommy was not in the Atruim Bar last month.......we found him all the way in the back at the bar back there. He is still a funny, funny guy!!

echo Posted May 23, 2013 #30 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Did the Fascination in Sept 12 and April 13. The food had really improved. Especaily in the MDR. And MDR lunch was really good. Never been much for sushi but in April it was quite tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In May he was at Atrium Bar, and October was at the bar outside the lounge in the rear of Promenade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katgirl5 Posted May 24, 2013 #33 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Just off the ship Thurs. 5/23. Tommy is the best. We enjoyed spending time with him back at Puttin on the Ritz. Also, MDR food was awesome this time and our head waitress, Napa, was over the top helpful and sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
topguy Posted May 24, 2013 #34 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Sail away, especially going under the bridge. I agree Mike. Make sure that you are on the upper most deck as you go under the bridge. The clearance of the smokestack is so little, you think that is is going to hit the bridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPlayWithString Posted May 24, 2013 #35 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Do I even want to KNOW what the 'balcony' club is? Not that I can join it...we got an inside room since this is our first trip and we wanted to try and reduce any chance of seasickness for ourselves and our kiddo. We're hoping that maybe the inside rooms are a bit quieter also, since he has sensory issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiggerlover Posted May 24, 2013 #36 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Don't miss the Rotisserie. :p It is AwEsOmE! LOVE the mashed potatoes & the chicken. :p This was my absolute favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im the kind of guy that cant ride Tea Cups at Disney or a Merry go Round for that matter w/o feeling I'll.

javamom Posted May 24, 2013 #41 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Putting together a top 10 list of things we need to do on the Fascination!#1 Enjoy the balcony! #2 Enjoy the piano bar! Also, I forgot about the grill on lido. It has the best homemade tortilla chips for the salsa/pico! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IPlayWithString Posted May 24, 2013 #42 Share Posted May 24, 2013 How is the salsa? Good or just kind of blah? I'm kind of picky about my salsa. It has to taste good and be hot, but not so much so that I've got flames shooting out my mouth.:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted May 24, 2013 #46 Share Posted May 24, 2013 The Fascination is my favorite ship so far, as I am not into the new bells and whistles. My top ten tea going under the bridge (be up by the funnel) putt putt-when it's windy up top go to the back of the ship and watch the stars rise get up early in the morning and watch the sunrise water slides lobster relax trivia games win a ship on a stick!

IPlayWithString Posted May 24, 2013 #48 Share Posted May 24, 2013 That sounds awesome then. I'm a Texan and we adore good salsa round here. I'm trying REALLY hard not to work myself into a state--I'm so excited/nervous/anxious about our upcoming cruise since we've never done this before. It was kind of a last minute decision. DH swears that I will not: A. Be the fattest woman on the ship B. fall over board C. get lost..on the ship (I'm famous for getting lost just about anywhere, including my own home and my son's school where I volunteer at least 2 days a week) :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alabamaprincess Posted May 24, 2013 #49 Share Posted May 24, 2013 Another vote for afternoon tea in the piano bar only held on sea days. Also love the made to order omelets in the morning on lido deck. The Fascination is one of my favorite ships. Enjoy!!!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get a couple of eggs, some bacon, toast, and make an egg & bacon sandwich.:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
