I chose this particular cruise to enable us to join some friends for Christmas. We had 3 cabins on the Veranda deck. Because we booked late the only way we could be together / adjacent was near the rear. We were originally booked on the Valor which I had investigated to ensure our adjacent cabin balconies could be adjoined and that we would have the services of the Carnival hub to communicate and stay together. (8426, 8430, 8401)
I had traveled several times with Carnival along with other lines on 10 cruises. I had in fact traveled this exact cruise on the Sensation several years ago and my review was postive.
This was by far our worse cruise. We felt bad as we had talked our friends who were first time cruisers into joining us for this.
The stench of sewage in the hall and the vibration were terrible. The cain itself was fine with plenty of storage.
We hired Mrs Cheryl's taxi for a private tour. In hindsight should have hired one of the waiting taxi services. Less of a wait and hastle. The Bahamas bowl our day of arrival presented huge traffic problems.
