Review summary

This was our first time on a cruise, so there are several things I learned from this trip for next time, but there will very likely be a next time.  I loved cruising with my kids.  I liked that they had stuff to do, although I wish there were a few more options for us to do things together.  But I guess that's what excursions, and the times at port are for.  We had a great time.  We purchased the endless bubbles package for both my kids, but my daughter does not drink pop, so that was a waste of money.  None of the beverages she wanted were included in the option, so that was disappointing!  Staff was great!  Accommodations and ship were awesome, clean and well kept.

Sarah did a great job keeping our room clean. Accommodations were great!

Ship tip

1. Buy a lanyard before hand. You can get them at the dollar store rather than having to buy one for $8. per person. Made things so much easier to have one, since most time was spent in a bathing suit.

Go on a newer class of carnival ships and you'll find what you were looking for. The Sensation class has less space for more kids stuff.

Can you tell the cost for the soda package per person, thanks

Juice is supposed to be included with the package for the kids. Was that not the case?
