Review summary

I cannot say enough good things about our trip. The staff was wonderful no matter their position. I can’t wait for our next trip next Fall. I would live the Sensation if that were possible.

Embarkation

5 out of 5
We purchased “faster to the fun,” and it was so worth it. We waited a very short time to board and our bags were delivered quickly. Everyone along the way was super nice.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

5 out of 5
The food was superb. Service in main dining was good. The burger bar was fantastic. Five days was not enough time to enjoy the feasts provided.

Onboard Activities

5 out of 5
The Lido deck and pool was always fun. Bingo was fun. We took this trip to rest so we spent a lot of leisurely time enjoying the view from our balcony. We enjoyed the casino and shops. All around it was a very relaxing enjoyable experience.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
We were treated like royalty by every Carnival employee.

Ship Quality

5 out of 5
We knew we were booking with one of the smaller ships. In fact, that was part of the attraction to this particular cruise. Everything was clean and well serviced.

Cabin / Stateroom

4 out of 5
We had a Junior Stateroom. Small but very comfortable. In fact I was surprised that the shower was so roomy and efficient. The ONLY complaint I could have is that there was only one electrical outlet but I assumed that was just the nature of cruising.

Ship tip

Pack enough casual clothes. Mostly we dressed like we would at home.

Ports of call

Miami, Florida

5 out of 5
Drove straight to park and ride and went straight to port. No excursions.

Amber Cove (Puerto Plata), Dominican Republic Did not visit port

We wanted to spend a day in the uncrowned pool. It was wonderful

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
We had rain on this day so No excursion. We shopped and had lunch at Margaritaville. Enjoyable and beautiful.

Disembarkation

4 out of 5
This was the only bad experience of the entire trip. No elevators were stopping on our deck so we had to lug our own luggage down the stairs. Once we got downstairs everything moved quickly and we were outside in a short time.
