Fascination Question

[Cruisin'Trooper]

I forget since it was so long ago, but what deck does the Fascination load on in Jacksonville? I know that it is a lower than normal deck, but forgot which one!

Yes, you are correct. You board on deck 3, which is the same one that is used when you are in ports of call. For what ever reason, Jaxport doesn't use a gangway to board, so you walk on to the ship from "ground level".

Take a look at that fancy gangway they built then the Jubilee was home-ported there. There's no hole in the ship ( ;) ) anywhere near that height on the Fascination, and it could only be about as high as the Upper Deck if they did make one. I like things the way they are - the walk was a lot longer, and UPHILL! :eek:

Yep, they used the gangway for Celebration...I sailed her twice. EM

True, and it is so easy when embarking and debarking. No stairs, escalators, inclines, etc.:D

Glad someone posted this question. I sail on her in December and have had knee surgery. This will be a huge welcome relief to my poor knee.
