There is no difference. Both are Fantasy-class ships and I don't believe either has had the 'Evolutions Of Fun' modification to the pool deck performed yet.

How about the Inspiration? Thanks for your help!

The Inspiration has been upgraded. Please look here for details.

I have been on both ships. They are virtually identical as Dave noted. The decor and theme should be the only difference. They were both refurbished in 2006. I am thinking about going on the Fascination out of JAX next year. Just waiting on the drydock schedule to be released about the Evolutions of Fun completion.

As a orignal guest on the maiden voyage of the Sensation in Nov.1993 I have to say that both ship are identical in the way they do everything even back then. I have also been a crewmate on the Ecxtasy in 1995 and what a difference between ships. Personally I would stick with either the Fascination or Sensation

I bet that was an experience! What Dept. did you work in?

I know is off topic, but it is always interesting to hear from past crew members.

I was in the kitchen for the 2 1/2 years that I was on the Ecxtasy. I'm a registerd Journeyman Chef with Red, Blue & Gold seals. I had just finished working in Georgetown for 6 yrs when I was accepted as staff on the Ecxtasy. So some of the awesome ice and fat carvings were probably mine, as well as the fruit and seafood displays.
Would I do it again - you bet I would
