Carnival Fascination (formerly Fascination) is the fourth of eight {{Sclass-|Fantasy|cruise ship|0}} cruise ships operated by Carnival Cruise Line. Built by Kværner Masa-Yards at its Helsinki New Shipyard in Helsinki, Finland, she was floated out on July 1, 1994, and christened Fascination by Jeanne Farcus.{{sfn|Smith|2010|p=37}} During 2007, in common with all of her Fantasy-class sisters, she had the prefix Carnival added to her name.[2] She is currently home-ported in San Juan, Puerto Rico and sails to the Caribbean year-round. After the destruction caused from both Hurricane Irma and Maria, she was docked in St Croix, US Virgin Islands under charter to FEMA to house hurricane relief workers from October 15, 2017 until February 3, 2018.[3] RenovationsFascination was given a multimillion-dollar refurbishment while in dry dock during September 2006.[4]In January 2010 Carnival Fascination was again dry docked to be refurbished.[5] In January 2013, Carnival Fascination underwent another dry dock.{{cn|date=December 2018}} ItinerariesPrior to 2016 The Carnival Fascination sailed from Jacksonville, Florida. She offered 4-day cruises to the Bahamas, with stops in Nassau and Freeport and 5-day cruises included stops in Key West and Nassau on the Monday sailing. The alternate 5-day sailing (Saturday departure) stopped at Nassau and Half Moon Cay.[6] In April and May, 2011, Fascination operated a 7 night itinerary stopping in Nassau, Half Moon Cay, and Grand Turk. However, Carnival later announced that all 7-Day sailings would be canceled, citing strong demand for the shorter 4 and 5 day sailings.[6] The Fascination was the first Carnival ship to sail from New York. When she arrived in New York starting on July 24, 1994 - September 4, 1994 she sailed 5-Day cruises to Saint John, New Brunswick & Halifax, Nova Scotia. She also sailed 2-day cruises to nowhere, with the ship itself as the destination. After September she moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico.[7] In 2013 and 2014, Coco Cay replaced Key West on some of the Carnival Fascination{{'}}s itineraries. Coco Cay is a private island in the Bahamas owned by rival cruise line Royal Caribbean International.[8] In April, 2016, Fascination repositioned to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where she now sails seven-day Southern Caribbean cruises.[9] In October 2017, Fascination was chartered to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for four months and was docked in St. Croix as part of hurricane relief efforts in the U.S. Virgin Islands.[10] This charter cost FEMA $74.7 million.[11] Beginning February, 2018, the ship resumed operating 7 Day Southern Caribbean cruises departing from San Juan, Puerto Rico.[12] IncidentsPower lossIn June 2010, the Carnival Fascination lost engine power due to a technical malfunction while returning to Jacksonville, Florida. Power was restored after several hours, and the ship was able to return to Jacksonville, Florida under its own power.[13] Health inspection failureIn April 2013, it was reported that on February 21, 2013 the Carnival Fascination failed a CDC health inspection after inspectors found insects in food preparation areas, dried food waste, insufficient chlorination in the pools, and insufficient sneeze guards at the salad bars. A satisfactory rating from the CDC is a score of 85 or higher. The Fascination scored an 84.[14] ReferencesNotes1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.shipspotting.com/gallery/photo.php?lid=209350|title=FASCINATION - IMO 9041253|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite journal|last1=Dake|first1=Shawn J.|title=Cruise Ships 2007 the year in review|journal=Ocean Times|date=January 2008|volume=12.1|pages=2–8|url=http://www.shawnandcolleen.com/sshsasocal/docs/ocean%20times%2008%20january%20v12.1.pdf|publisher=Steamship Historical Society of America: Southern California Chapter}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Carnival Cruise Line News - Statement Regarding Carnival Fascination|url=https://carnival-news.com/2017/10/12/statement-regarding-carnival-fascination/|website=carnival-news.com|accessdate=15 October 2017|date=12 October 2017}} 4. ^Carnival Cruise Lines - News Release 5. ^{{cite web | title=Carnival Fascination Returns to Service from Jacksonville Following Extensive "Evolutions of Fun"™ Upgrades | url=http://cruisetalk.org/2010/02/carnival-fascination-returns-to-service-from-jacksonville-following-extensive-%e2%80%98evolutions-of-fun%e2%80%99-upgrades.html | date=2 February 2010 | accessdate=13 February 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite news| url=http://travel.usatoday.com/cruises/post/2011/08/carnival-fascination-jacksonville-florida/179490/1 | work=USA Today | first=Gene | last=Sloan | date=1 August 2011 | title=Carnival adds more four- and five-day cruises out of Jacksonville, Fla}} 7. ^{{cite journal |title=Fun Ship From Fun City |journal=Cruise Travel |date=March–April 1994 |page=31 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ODADAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA31}} 8. ^{{cite news|last=Sloan|first=Gene|title=New port for Carnival ships is owned by Royal Caribbean|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/02/27/carnival-cruise-coco-cay-island/1950527/|work=USA Today|accessdate=11 April 2013|date=27 February 2013}} 9. ^{{cite web|url=http://carnival-news.com/2015/03/02/carnival-further-strengthens-leadership-position-in-new-orleans-with-a-significant-expansion-of-short-cruise-program-carnival-triumph-to-reposition-to-big-easy-in-spring-2016/|title=Carnival Cruise Lines News|work=Carnival Cruise Lines News}} 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.travelweekly.com/Cruise-Travel/Carnival-Fascination-chartered-to-FEMA-San-Juan-departures-canceled|title=Carnival Fascination chartered to FEMA, San Juan departures canceled: Travel Weekly|website=www.travelweekly.com|language=en|access-date=2017-11-07}} 11. ^{{Cite news|url=https://www.cruiseindustrynews.com/cruise-news/18379-fema-carnival-charter-cost-74-7-million.html|title=FEMA Carnival Charter Cost $74.7 Million|last=Staff|first=CIN|date=2018-01-08|access-date=2018-01-29|language=en-GB}} 12. ^{{Cite web|url=https://carnival-news.com/2017/12/14/carnival-fascination-to-undergo-multi-million-dollar-dry-dock-prior-to-resuming-year-round-service-from-san-juan-in-february-2018/|title=Carnival Cruise Line News|website=carnival-news.com|access-date=2018-01-23}} 13. ^{{cite news|last=Carter|first=Adam|title=5 troubles on Carnival cruises|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2012/02/28/f-carnival-cruise-ship-incidents.html|work=CBC News|publisher=CBC|accessdate=11 April 2013}} 14. ^{{cite news|last=Golden|first=Fran|title=Carnival ship fails health inspection|url=https://www.usatoday.com/story/cruiselog/2013/04/11/carnival-fascination-cdc-health-inspection/2074175/|work=USA Today|accessdate=11 April 2013|date=11 April 2013}} Bibliography{{refbegin}}
