Review summary

The experience was not great. I can say we only got to enjoy the food and the time offshore ( only 2 days :( ) . The ship needs a bigger pool for that many people and more entertainment on board (not marketing entertainment) . This was a 5 days cruise, and by day 2 I wanted to get off the boat. I think we paid too much money for so littler entertainment.I would not recommend Carnival Sensation cruise.

Food and Dining

4 out of 5

more variety of food during lunch is needed. They offer same type of food during the whole week. Dinner and Breakfast was good.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

The Pool was too small. It was too packed that we couldn't enjoy it not even once. There was not rock-climbing walls or basketball hood. Fitness center was ok though. In most of all entertainment activities were trying to selling you something. There was nothing about recreational, but everything about marketing.

Entertainment

1 out of 5

Djs were ok. They need more updated musics though. I was very disappointed that there were no shows during the evenings. I was expecting more from this trip. No dinner with the captain. Too much money for so little entertainment. I would n't definetelly recommend Carnival Sensation cruise.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

The Cabin was too small. I didn't like the fact that I could feel the ship movements. Sometimes I was awaken for the movement and did not like the feeling. The only good thing was the cleanliness.

Ship tip

Don't sail on Canival Sensation. try a different cruise ship.

It was great. People are very friendly and relaxed. So many options for excursion outside the port are a plus. The only bad thing the cruise only gave us few hours to stay offshore

With small ship and short cruise it's too much to expect and I'm sure the cost was not too much

Gets a lot of good reviews but know from experience it's a very old ship, one of carnivals smallest and limited in entertainment venues. Sometimes "bigger" is better
