We chose this cruise as a relaxation cruise and a getaway for just me and the wife. Were also trying to get to Platinum before Carnival changes so with this cruise and The Dream coming up after summer we should make it, as long as Carnival doesn't change by then.

We don't usual fly in the day of the cruise but with this being a short one we did just that. At The Orlando Airport you will have to go to Level 1 where you will find the desk for Carnival just past car rentals, checking in we were told the bus would be there in 20 minutes just outside, and it was.

Once we left the airport it was only about 50 minutes to get to the port. This wasn't bad but when you arrive, if your traveling with someone whose handicapped you just need to ask a porter, and they will get someone to assist you. This we did not know and my Wife who can not walk long distances had to walk. It was only after the fact did we find this out. Embarkation went very smooth and we were on The Sensation by 1130AM heading for lunch on the lido deck.

Cabin Review

Ocean View

Cabin 6C

Cabin M-160 mid-ship port side ocean view 6C, very nice close to the elevators not a lot of noise very comfortable during the day it was a little hot but at night it cooled down. Were use to having a balcony so this was a first and it was not bad at all. Bathroom is small a couple of shelves around the sink and the step up was higher than i had seen on any ship. No mini refrigerator and the safe is in the closet, we also had a pull down bed but did not use it.
