Carnival Sensation Review
Expected a nicer ship for just being refurbished

Additional details
I really like this size ship, and have been on the Fantasy and Ecstacy before and enjoyed them.
However I think I had higher expectations for the recent refurbishment. They obviously only did a few public areas of the ship.
I would have liked to seen new carpet in all rooms, hallways and stairways. More electrical outlets in cabins as there are only 2 now. Adding a small refrig in cabins would be nice.
Cabin Review
Balcony
Nice size. Overall happy with the cabin. Lower rating because of the limited electrical outlets and no small refrig in the cabin......but then, they are not in most on this ship, so no fault of this particular cabin.
Only 2 electrical outlets, 1 above bathroom mirror and one at desk. Balcony door is a man door, not a sliding glass door like on RCL ships. I like leaving the balcony door open at nice to fall asleep listening to the waves, but the strong door closer on this type of door requires some strategic thinking on your part.
The cabin is in a nice location. Tends to be quiet, although I do sleep with ear plugs in as a habit so maybe I missed some noises? Took a few days to figure out there is a "short cut" from a out of the way stairway in the back hallway connecting the two sides of the ship that goes up to the Serenity Deck, and access from there to the Plaza Lounge, Lido Deck, etc. It's much faster than walking forward to the Atrium to get to any places on the rear of the ship.
