Getting off the ship every time we stop was easy. Checking out process was easy and quick as well.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

4 out of 5
Great service at main dining room but my wife had to turn back her food since they did not get it correct. For the time it came back I finished and she ate by herself. Buffet restaurant was always filled with people but always found a place to sit. Burger restaurant by the pool was great but huge lines.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5
Carnival Sensation ship is a very boring ship. Not many activities to be part of. I would think they had a few awesome Christmas shows planned cruise since the cruise was during Christmas time. Well, no! The Cuban show, bingo night and guess the song was great but no other shows or activities to enjoy. A few boring activities by the pool area with a small pool and a hot tub filled with people at all times.

Port was nice & clean. My wife & I took a taxi to the beach and the very nice taxi driver waited for us and he took us to many great areas and awesome restaurants. We were very happy! We also had time to do a little shopping as well.

Grand Turk Island

4 out of 5
Port was okay. A lot of people hustling every tourist by charging $25/$30 to use an umbrella and two chairs.

Disembarkation

5 out of 5
Fast & easy. Great job!
