Carnival Sensation Review
Veteran cruiser experiments with first 3-day trip (liked it)

Additional details
OK, I've been on many cruises to many places with probably six different cruise lines. This was my second Carnival cruise, but it was the shortestjust 3 nights—and our first room without a balcony ever. So therefore an experiment with one child in tow. Bottom line: we liked the Sensation and the trip was a blast and a good value.
The recent make-over of the Sensation is not to be underestimated. This ship seemed brand new, easily the freshest and "newest" ship we have cruised on. Our cabin was small-we chose an outside stateroom on the Main Deck, second deck from the bottom, and located mid-ship. The room was a surprisingly pleasant experience overall.

Cabin Review
Recent renovations were a big hit! New room basically. For a small second-from-bottom deck average stateroom with fixed window located mid-ship, we were pleasantly surprised and very contented.
