Hollywood on the high seas. Your "Fun Ship" FASCINATION captures
the glamour of the movie capital at the Beverly Hills Bar. But you
might just as easily be discovered by new friends at the Coconut
Grove Bar & Grill. In the Palace Lounge showroom, the mood is
definitely Vegas. And if you want to see happy guests from all over
the world, people watch in the Grand Atrium.

private verandas; mega-ship action; understated elegance in a
low-key environment; no children; dozens of varieties of food.
Onboard Experience:
Identical in all but décor, Carnival Fascination is of eight
Fantasy-class sister ships (Carnival Fantasy, Fascination, Ecstasy,
Inspiration, Paradise, Sensation & Elation). These ships always seem
to have something of interest going on, and thus are ideal for the
up-and-at-'em style cruiser. Carrying 2,052 passengers, Fantasy is
big enough to provide diverse entertainment, ample deck space for
those whose idea of being entertained is basking in a warm sun shine
glow, and separate facilities for passengers of all ages.
Having been launched in 1994, in today's whirlwind pace of change
in the cruise industry, Fascination is not so full of neon, chrome
and mirrors as her younger sister ships. But it's there if you know
where to look. Like at the Illusions Dance Club with her brass
barstools and neon-rimmed mirrors and ceiling panels.
