Not too much if anything to complain about. Cabin was the best of the three cruises I have been on. Cabin attendant was great. Food was abundant and far exceeded my expectations. Serving sizes in dining room were on the small side, but this was good, because it gave you a chance to sample from the appetizer, soup, salad, entree, and dessert, which is usually something I do not have room for. Our waiter and assistant waiter were great, and were a show in themselves. Carnival did a great job of finding me the perfect table mates. We are still in touch with each other a year later. Ports of call were new to me, so it was an adventure. I had heard some negative things about Carnival being wild party ships, but the passengers here were a good cross section of people and ages. I would sail on the Sensation again, and certainly will with Carnival again

Everything was clean, and polished. Nothing stood out as needing improvement or refurbishment to me. Too many people though left their personal belongings on deck chairs for hours on end, so made it tough to find chairs near the pool, however on the aft deck there always seemed to be chairs available.

As said earlier food was great, and the buffet was also superior as buffets go. Lineups were not as bad as other ships for the buffet.

As said earlier cabin size was very good. Larger than expected. Closet space was good for two people and shower was also of a good size. Cabin was also quiet except for last night, when some young children ran amok through the halls, at very late hours.

Only attended one comedy show, and did not stay. I rarely attend the shows anyway, so cannot really comment. The casino seemed a little tight all week, but on the last day, I won a total of 600.00us, in three jackpots. So it paid for my cruise. How can I complain.?

I did not take any tours, or participate in activities, so cannot comment, though some people I know who did had a great time.

Many different age groups and mostly middle class, but mostly well behaved people, enjoying a hard earned vacation.
