Carnival Sensation

5 Night Western Caribbean (Miami Roundtrip)

Sail date: December 28, 2017

Ship: Carnival Sensation

Cabin type: Oceanview

Traveled as: Large Group

Review summary

The sensation has some great common spaces but overall, the ship is old and in need of a major overhaul. I know they take a lot of abuse but carnival needs to invest heavily into guestrooms. Just too many issues with the rooms. And honestly, the ship is not pretty to look at. But hey, any cruise is better than sitting at home.

Ship tip

As much as I enjoy sailing with carnival, I will not board this ship again. I believe it's outlived its service life.
