CARNIVAL SENSATION

Set sail for fun-filled days and nights aboard the Sensation. Soak up the sun, cool off in one of the pools, and zip down the waterslide for a refreshing splash! The Ecstasy Dining Room serves up savory gourmet fare, and the Seaview Bar & Grill is perfect for a casual bite; kids can choose their favorites from the special children's menus. Camp Carnival has lots of fun activities for the young ones, morning till night, while older kids can hang out at the Teen Club for music, movies, and video games.
