Review summary

This was my wife and I's first ever cruise and we had a great time. We were alittle nervous about going on the carnival sensastion because it is an older ship but it was the only one we could find for the time frame we needed because of our work schedules. We both were glad we did, the ship was great, all the employees of carnival were so friendly and had such great attitudes, and the food was awesome. And if you like being around friendly people a cruise is the way to go, everyone was so friendly. We could've had a better trip. And a specially thank you to the crew of the Carnival Sensation, Bart and Ashley Gainesville GA.

Cabin / Stateroom

We were especially glad we booked a bigger cabin were we had plenty of room and had our own balcony. We loved the suite. I would suggest to any one that has 2 or 3 kids a suite would give you so much more room.

Ship tip

Bring a small power strip because the rooms only have one outlet. Get one of those necklesses for your ship card, it will come in handy. Get to the dinner restaurant before 7:00 because the staff puts on a show between 7:00 and 7:30 that we loved.

Great review! I was on it two weeks ago and loved it. I was skeptical as well since it was an older ship and have been on bigger ships, but my daughter enjoyed camp ao much, this cruise was the most she spent in camp. I had a great time as well. And as you mentioned, the staff was always helpful and very friendly! I would cruise on the Sensation again, as long as its other ports.
