My parents, son, and I enjoyed a 4 night cruise on the Sensation beginning 9/24/06. This was my nine year old son's first cruise, although my parents and I had sailed on the Fantasy previously. We had a fantastic time! Our cruise director was Matt Ross, who I thought did a better job than the director on Fantasy.
My son and I shared room U224, and my parents had U228. We were able to eat dinner together in the dining room at our own table, which was nice. I know many people enjoy meeting their tablemates at dinner, however, we tend to prefer a "family dinner" atmosphere.
Embarkation Day - We embarked at approx 12:30 PM with no problems, and enjoyed lunch on the Lido Deck. We were also able to view the Camp Carnival facilities, which my son and I both enjoyed. After viewing, I knew I would feel comfortable letting him play there during the cruise.
