Review summary

Overall, I would NEVER sail with Carnival again. I was extremely disappointed.

Embarkation

4 out of 5

Left on time, Was very well informed.

Ship experiences

Food and Dining

2 out of 5

There honestly was lots of options, although they were sub par..Mostly room temperature or cold..After seeing a roach I was kind of scared to eat.

Onboard Activities

1 out of 5

Pools were WAY over crowded at all times. Hard to enjoy. Water slides rusty and small.

Entertainment

4 out of 5

This is the only catagory I can actually give a good rating to. The Cruise Director Deon made the cruise what it was.

Children's Programs

Didnt bring a kid

Service and Staff

2 out of 5

Stewards literally walk in your room after 1/2 of a knock. Walked in on my mom and I napping and walked in when she was exiting the shower.

Ship Quality

1 out of 5

Old, Dirty, not very well maintained.

Cabin / Stateroom

2 out of 5

Pretty small, Shower is short and literally hits you at the chest..At times the water is not hot.

We were on the Sensation in January, I am 6'2" and the shower was adequate . You know it's adjustable? As far as the room steward coming in, that's why they have the dead bolt so they can't just walk in on you.

We had a blast on this ship when we went last year! My mom enjoyed it so much so she booked her second cruise as soon as we got back.

Broken record. Sensation is over 25 years old, it serves a purpose (cheap weekend getaways) but there are many better ships out there.

I wouldn’t judge an entire cruise line based on one cruise on an older ship. A newer ship will usually be a better experience.

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your cruise, maybe sail a different/newer ship next time.
