After sailing on the Elation one year ago, I had the "grand" idea to host a business workshop on a cruise ship the following year. We chose the Sensation after negotiations with RCCL and Carnival. *Side note: when planning a large group event with a cruise line, make sure you book it with a TA you like. I did not realize the one I finally booked with would be my liaison for the next year..sigh! In any event, working with Carnival on this event went very well (150 people went.)

Port Canaveral has a very easy embarkation process; quick lines at 12:30pm and we were onboard in less than 15 minutes. Easily found our way to the lido deck and food; it was odd meeting someone you knew everytime you turned around:-)

Very painless muster drill (we only wore our vests for about five minutes in the air conditioned lounge) and we were off. Sailaway was f=dreary in weather but as a group we congregated on the aft verandah deck and had a blast. Dinner was the 8pm seating, and I was pleased that the food quality was fine, on par with the five and seven night cruises I had taken on Carnival before. I came to realize I actually ADORE the butter they use onboard (its from Denmark and luscious!) Really enjoyed the 80's show as we all tried to sing along!
