Awesome review girl! I do have one question. Would you recommend the Wydham with 3 kids? We are taking our nieces and nephew on the Pride next year, and thought about doing Atlantis with them, but the hours we are in port make it tough to get decent time at the park. I know my older niece hates salt water, so with the pools at the Wyndham she would be happy, and the two younger kids couldn't care less where they swim! So, do you think two girls, aged 15 and 13, and a 6 year old boy would like the Wyndham? Oh yea, how warm was it? TIA! Keep up the great review!

Our last day at sea was just relaxing being that we were all in pain. We woke up late since we had swollen lips and all. Skipped breakfast and went to just eat lunch. I had hamburger and fries and mom tried out the buffet line. Which was long, just like every other day but still tasty. We walked around a lot this day looking in the shops. Tried our luck in the casino...wasn't lucky. Tried bingo again....still no luck to be found. So, nap time.:D Woke up for some more sushi....I felt that the benadryl might be wearing off so I had a margarita. Well, a few of those. The apple margarita was awesome and the blue. Those were my favorite. They had chips and salsa with the margarita...the chips were tasty....or I was just really hungry because I needed another margarita. They were salty guys...hehe....we went to dinner one last time. It was kind of sad because our table mates were great. I hope to speak with them all soon. I know this night I had bourbon chicken which had great flavor. They for dessert they were all saying to have the Baked Alaska...well I didn't like it guys. I don't know why, but it wasn't my fav. Everybody else did though...oh well, to each his own. This night we went to the 80s show which was really good! I like it a lot....maybe because I was born in the 80s. We stayed up late this night...we just didn't want the cruise to end. We stayed up talking to Joseph our new friend and tried one more time in the casino! Guess what! We won! Not! We didn't win a dime on this ship, last time I did though. Other people were saying they weren't having much luck either, at least I wasn't the only one. We finally hit the sack at about 2AM.

 

We woke up the next morning and finished packing. We took our luggage off ourselves. We had one last breakfast on the lido deck, and it was really good. Then back to the cabin it was to say goodbye to all my towel buddies.

I kept them all...come on guys, they were too cute to unravel. HeHe...then off we went. It was quick and easy getting off the ship. A lot easier then it was in Miami. I think we only stood in line for about 15 mins. We were off by 9 and to the airport by 10. Our flight left at about 12:30.

 

All and all, we had a great cruise and can't wait for our next one. Will I cruise the Fascination again, you betcha. I was an older ship, but it was well kept up and the staff was wonderful. If any of you have any questions let me know and I'll try to answer. I'll get the capers scanned tomorrow for those who wanted to see it.

 

Signing out...

The Wyndham was great and I think you all would have a great time. For the price you can't beat it. They have jet skies and stuff and I'm sure they have other things to do as well. They can't go far and it seemed to be real safe. If you don't have much time, I would do the Wyndham. I know if I spent the money you have to spend to see Atlantis I would want to be there ALL DAY. We plan on doing that the next full day we are in Nassau.

 

Have fun on your cruise!

Thanks again for the review; it sounds like you had a great time. I especially ejoyed the pics of the inside of the ship. I have been on a couple of Fantasy class so I know the layout, but I like seeing pics of the "theme".

Great pix! We were on this same cruise and had a blast! Our 6 yr old son had a great time at camp carnival (just be sure to double check the wrist band muster station ID as they gave my son the wrong station ID :eek: and we did not notice it until the 2nd day!!!). We had a great time on this ship and absolutely loved HMC. We were traveling with first time cruisers (brother, SIL, neice and nephew) and they will be going again in the near future, they had a blast. I think I saw you in the Diamonds are Forever club dancing on formal night (good time had by all until at least 1:30 am when we left), food was outstanding each and every night! I believe we are Carnival converts (we have only sailed RCCL up to this point) and will be sailing again in the near future!!! :D:D:D

Thanks for taking the time to write a wonderful review. I just finished my Victory review so I know how much time it takes. I will be on the Fascination in June and looking forward to it. I was on her in December but this will be my first time to HMC (we did the Nassau, Key West itinerary over Christmas).

Great review and awesome pictures. Do you know the name of who was playing in the piano bar by chance? and if so, was she/he any good?

 

I'm not sure who was playing in the piano bar, sorry. I didn't go there all that much, just peeked my head in and out a few times.

I read your review as well, awesome pics! I would love to do a southern caribbean like that but I can't get anybody willing to fly down to Puerto Rico with me.:mad:
