Carnival Fascination Cruises from San Juan Have Returned
Carnival Fascination cruises from San Juan have resumed after the ship received a multi-million dollar refurbishment. Most of the renovations surrounded the addition of Carnival’s most-liked food and beverage outlets.
Before refurbishment, Carnival Fascination was chartered by FEMA to be used as housing for relief workers in St. Croix, following a disastrous 2017 hurricane season.
What’s been added to Carnival Fascination
In the restaurant and lite bites & drinks department, there’s now:
- Guy’s Burger Joint – a complimentary poolside eatery developed in partnership with Guy Fieri serving burgers and fries and loads of toppings.
- RedFrog Rum Bar – a poolside Caribbean-themed bar with refreshing Caribbean rum-based frozen drinks and beers, including Carnival’s own private label brew, ThirstyFrog Red.
- BlueIguana Cantina – a complimentary poolside Mexican restaurant for authentic freshly made burritos and tacos on homemade tortillas, as well as an elaborate toppings and salsa bar.
- BlueIguana Tequila Bar – another fun outdoor bar with a relaxed Mexican-themed atmosphere and tequila-based frozen drinks and beers.
- Cherry on Top – Sweet shop with bins of bulk candy, colorful custom apparel and more.
- Alchemy Bar – a vintage-themed cocktail “pharmacy” with mixologists dressed in lab coats.
- Bonsai Sushi Express – an offshoot of Carnival’s popular Bonsai Sushi restaurants.
