Carnival Sensation
Sail date:
My wife and I and our son (14) and daughter(16) had the best vacation we've ever taken. The ship is fabulous, everything was immaculate, service was first rate. Food in formal dinning rooms was excellent, however, the food in the Seaview Grill was just average cafeteria food. The shows at night were great, a real treat! Rooms (we had M68) were spacious, plenty of room for 4 people. On the negative side, you will be charged for each soft drink you purchase (at a bar or dinner) if you're an adult, or children may purchase a soft drink card, entitling them to free soft drinks on the cruise. Boarding the bus at Tampa to get to the ship was terrible, felt like a bunch of cattle being herded around, very unorganized. Next time, I'll arrange for my own transportation from the airport to the ship! A lot of unsupervised little kids running around, who tend to fill all the pools and hot-tubs on deck - I didn't get to use them at all, OK because I there are many other things to do. I will cruise again with this line/ship, planning for my daughters high school graduation gift.
