Great cruise, Great Value!!!! by Dan S. from Palm Harbor, FL
Sailing date: Jul 2012

Pros:
Ship's company, great events, etc......

Cons:
Can't think of a single negative!!!

Courteous staff from embarkation to disembarkation. Clean, comfortable accommodations. Training of the ship's company was a high priority. Makes the traveler at ease knowing they take my safety so seriously.

Virtually invisible. The functions of running a ship of this size is considerable. Most of those functions went unnoticed by the average passenger. However, when help was needed, the ship's staff was eager to please.

Superb and relaxing by Dave H. from Aiken, SC
Sailing date: Jan 2012

Pros:
The excursions and facilities

Cons:
Main Dining Room service

This was our fourth cruise and third with Carnival. We chose this particular one because of the Orbitz price, which was AWESOME!!!! This was the last voyage of the Sensation before drydocking and updating. That may expalin the lack of enthusiasm and professionalism in the main Dining Room. But alas, there are other superb eating locations onboard. We partook of them all (except sushi). The remainder of the staff was very pleasant and helpful. This was the first cruise we took our sons (17 and 22). They had a great time and will definitely go again...if Dad pays. The excursion through Orbitz did circles around those offered by Carnival. Snorkle and swim with the sharks was FANTASTIC!!!

The food

first time cruising by A Traveler from Montgomery, AL
Sailing date: Dec 2011

Pros:
all the services were great

Cons:
no fireworks on the new year celebration night as we imagined

My husband and I went on cruising on new years night. 3 nights cruising to bahamas was too short for us. We had only one day to stay in bahama. I cannot forget the true blue color of the Nassau sea. But it was great to spend time on the ship too. It was first time cruising for us so we enjoyed meals the most which we could eat all day whenever we wanted and being lazy. Also the happy new year count down on the deck in the middle of ocean was a great experience to have.
