SMRIZZSTX Posted May 1, 2018 #1 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Here is my two cents. First off my husband and I are not that demanding. Vacation is all about fun, water and sun. The ship is small, definitely, but never waited for an elevator. Lines were minimal. I did pay for FTTF. I will do it again for the convenience. Most of the meals were OK. Chefs Table took over 3 hours and was incredibly delicious! Had a ocean view room. One of my few gripes but didn’t take away from the overall vacation. Now for the stops. St Thomas book a water,snorkel tour. We took an open air taxi/bus to Mountain Top. Felt like a Six Flags ride. Do not waste your $50 Barbados — Tiami Catamaran Beautiful water, great boat, staff. Pure enjoyment StLucia — taxi to Sandals Grand Great place. Staff very friendly StMaarten — Maho, Sunset Saw lots of damage enroute to Maho. Beach has lots of sand. Bar restaurant back in business. Always enjoy Afterwards shopped on Front Street StKitts — we needed a break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sungazer Posted May 16, 2018 #6 Share Posted May 16, 2018 How was Sandals in St. Lucia? What did it cost? Were you able to purchase an all inclusive day for food, drink and beach? We leave is coming Sunday. Can't wait. Thanks for the report. Its hard to decide what to do in all of the ports. We have a catamaran snorkel trip booked for St. Thomas and in St. Maarten we are booked on the highest zip line (very excited about this excursion). About to book a tour and beach trip in St. Kitts.

Noticed you sailed several ships that sail out of Galveston now, you a Texas or just like the port? We're flying into SJU Sunday (5/20) for what were are referring to as "The All Saint's Tour). Hula Hula, and see y'all onboard, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungazer Posted May 16, 2018 #9 Share Posted May 16, 2018 We live in Arkansas so Galveston is not too long of a drive for us. We fly in to SJU on Saturday. See you Sunday!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happicruzrr Posted May 17, 2018 #10 Share Posted May 17, 2018 A sincere thank you for blessing us with such a valuable review. We sail on Fascination in about 3 weeks. Got two porthole cabins for $60 each from a casino offer, and 2 free airline tickets from a credit card offer. Wondering if you can share any insight into the first night. A 10 pm sailing is certainly unusual for us. Don't know how dinner and muster would work. Also, did you check in, leave your bags, and leave the ship? Thank you again. I am SO excited after reading your review. We sailed on the Vista when it was brand new in the Mediterranean. That did make the smaller ships a little less exciting, but we still love every day. We always try to treat a less fortunate couple to a free cruise with our casino offers and we feed off their excitement. Even a small and older ship, to someone who hasn't been blessed with the opportunity before, is an amazing sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a small and older ship, to someone who hasn't been blessed with the opportunity before, is an amazing sight. We sailed on the Fascination two summers ago. On the first night, there is no assigned seating; in effect everyone on that night is on your time dining and also can use either dining room. We did check in, leave our bags, and explore San Juan some. I don't remember the exact time of the muster, but it was fairly late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
