You would never know that the Carnival Sensation has been providing cruising vacations for 16 years when you see the elegance and the opulence of the interior of the ship. The ship underwent renovations in 2008 and now has the modern features that you have come to expect in a cruise ship, such as a miniature 9-hole golf course, waterslide and interconnecting staterooms for families. There are five categories of cabins to choose from to suit all tastes and budgets. The suites are the only ones that have balconies but there is a good percentage of oceanview cabins to choose from. Some cabins are designed to sleep only two passengers while others can accommodate up to five guests. Twenty of the cabins are designed to accommodate passengers with physical disabilities and there are 14 elevators on this ship. Dine in the main dining rooms where there is assigned seating for each of the two sittings for dinner. Open seating prevails for breakfast and lunch but there are other dining options in casual restaurants on the ship. The midnight buffet is a big hit on the Carnival Sensation, especially with those who like to have a bite to eat before turning in for the night. Take in a gala presentation in the Fantasia or sit and listen to the tickling of the ivories in the Piano Bar. If you feel so inclined you can dance the night away at the disco or try your luck at the slots or tables in the casino.
