Carnival Sensation
Carnival Sensation: Photo tour & ship overview
Snapshot
Carnival Sensation sails to the Western Caribbean and is ideal for cruise passengers looking for a quick dose of sun and surf. While you and Carnival Sensation are en route, you'll enjoy a wide variety of activities to spark excitement or to simply relax. If you're looking to get wet, Carnival Sensation features a resort-style pool and three waterslide options. If you're looking for places for the kids, there's Camp Carnival, Circle "C" and Club O2. If you're looking for a place away from the kids, there's Serenity, the adult-only oasis, and Spa Carnival. There's also plenty for families — or groups — to do together.
