The Carnival Fascination, one of Carnival Cruise Line’s popular Fantasy-Class ships will undergo a multi-million-dollar dry dock to add the line’s newest food and beverage venues.
The new spaces include Guy’s Burger Joint, the cocktail pharmacy-themed Alchemy Bar, BlueIguana Cantina Mexican eatery, Cherry on Top sweets shop, the poolside RedFrog Rum Bar and BlueIguana Tequila Bar, and a Bonsai Sushi Express venue.
The two-week dry dock will take place Feb. 4-17, 2018, in Freeport, The Bahamas, prior to the ship resuming its year-round schedule of seven-day southern Caribbean cruises from San Juan, Puerto Rico, beginning Feb. 18, 2018. Carnival Fascination is currently being chartered to FEMA to house relief workers in St. Croix.
Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line said:
“We can’t wait for our guests to experience these exciting new features aboard Carnival Fascination when she returns to her year-round homeport of San Juan early next year.”
These new options complement popular attractions like a WaterWorks aqua park featuring a 300-foot-long Twister slide, Seuss at Sea operated exclusively with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, and myriad entertainment choices including the Punchliner Comedy Club, Playlist Productions shows, and Hasbro, The Game Show, with larger-than-life adaptations of the company’s iconic games.
The Carnival Fascination’s last major dry-dock occurred in January 2010, when she was outfitted with Carnival WaterWorks, Serenity Adult-Only Retreat and the addition of 98 balcony staterooms. The Carnival Fascination is 70,367 tons and accommodates 2,056 guests and 920 crew.
