MIAMI, Feb. 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Carnival
Fascination resumed its year-round schedule of seven-day southern
Caribbean departures from
San Juan this past Sunday,
following an extensive multi-million-dollar dry dock that added a
variety of popular food and beverage concepts.
On its San Juan-based program,
Carnival Fascination departs every Sunday on week-long voyages
visiting five tropical destinations: St.
Lucia, Barbados,
St. Kitts, St. Thomas and
St. Maarten, each of which is home
to world-class beaches, centuries-old historical sites, unique and
exciting shoreside experiences and array of shopping and dining
opportunities.
"We're delighted that the Carnival Fascination has returned to
year-round sailing from San Juan
better than ever with a wide range of great new dining, beverage
and retail options for our guests to enjoy," said Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise
Line who noted that prior to the dry dock the ship was chartered by
FEMA to house relief workers in St. Croix.
The new spaces include:
- Guy's Burger Joint: a free-of-charge poolside
venue developed in partnership with Food Network personality
Guy Fieri serving hand-crafted
burgers and fresh-cut fries enjoyed amidst a décor that celebrates
the chef's California roots and
love of car culture.
- RedFrog Rum Bar: a poolside watering hole
offering the quintessential Caribbean vacation vibe with refreshing
Caribbean rum-based frozen drinks
and beers, including Carnival's own private label draught brew,
ThirstyFrog Red.
- BlueIguana Cantina: a complimentary poolside
Mexican eatery where guests can enjoy authentic freshly made
burritos and tacos on homemade tortillas, as well as an elaborate
toppings and salsa bar.
- BlueIguana Tequila Bar: a fun and festive outdoor
bar offering a laid-back Mexican-themed atmosphere and
tequila-based frozen drinks and beers, perfect for chillin' by the
pool.
- Cherry on Top: The "sweetest spot on board,"
Cherry on Top is the gateway to the joys of simple indulgences with
bins of bulk candy, fun-and-fanciful gifts, just-because novelties,
colorful custom apparel and more.
- Alchemy Bar: a vintage-themed cocktail "pharmacy"
that's the go-to spot for guests seeking a unique experience with
mixologists who "prescribe" concoctions from different elixirs and
ingredients or guests' own custom-created cocktails.
- Bonsai Sushi Express: the success of the
full-service Bonsai Sushi restaurants has spawned this casual,
convenient yet equally tasty offshoot featuring a mouth-watering
array of sushi, sashimi, rolls and more.
These complement Carnival Fascination's popular onboard features
like a luxurious 12,000-square-foot health and wellness center, a
Serenity adults-only retreat, and an array of 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 ship's family-friendly options include the Seuss at Sea
program, an exclusive partnership with Dr. Seuss Enterprises, along
with fun, supervised activities for kids in three age groups – Camp
Ocean (2-11), Circle "C" (12-14) and Club O2 (15-17) and a
WaterWorks aqua park featuring a 300-foot-long Twister slide.
