4 Night Bahamas (Port Canaveral Roundtrip)

Sail date: May 29, 2011

Ship: Carnival Sensation

Cabin type: Inside

Traveled as: Family (older children)

Reviewed: 13 years ago

Review summary

The ship was very clean and our room was comfortable for sleeping. However the ship smelled strongly of smoke even in no-smoking areas. For people with asthma, this was discouraging and limited access to some areas of the ship. Excursions were very over-priced.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5

Food and service was great. At times it was difficult to find a table but the food was very good.

Entertainment

3 out of 5

The entertainment on the ship was nice but was very disappointed in the Blue Lagoon excursion. It cost us $400 to go to a beach for about 3 hours and everything there cost an additional price so all there was to do was lay on the beach and eat the lunch that was "included" in the price. I really felt we did not get our money's worth on that and do not recommend that to others.

There was nothing to do or see in Freeport. We felt it was a waste of time.
