My husband and I decided to take our 2 children ages (7 and 8 )on a cruise for their first time we didn't know how they would respond so we took a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas on carnival's sensation. We stayed at the Ramada at orlando international airport the night before it was clean and nice for the price we paid (50.00). We bought our transfers through Laura's shuttle through the hotel. They picked us up early and was at the port and on the ship by lunch time. Check in at the port went very smooth and quick. The ship was very clean and had lots of friendly staff. We were on the empress deck. Food was "ok" I had better on other carnival ships.Bahamas and Freeport were ok we didn't do much of anything kids didn't want to leave the ship. Know for the best part!!! We decided to look into camp carnival for the kids(this is a must if you have children) it was the best thing we did our children had the best time they had activities every hour on the hour for all age groups. I recommend this ship for first timers and with children. We will be doing a bigger ship next time with the kids it was the best family vacation ever.
THANK YOU CARNIVAL FOR MAKING THIS FAMILY VACATION THE BEST EVER!!! also a big THANK'S to all the Camp Carnival Staff!!!
