I figured I would do a little review on this ship since it's so hard to find recent reviews. I honestly had the time of my life on this ship from the moment we boarded everything was smooth. My stateroom steward, Ari, was fabulous in every way and always available for whatever we needed. The weather was perfect, all the staff was very friendly including the director Orlando who really knows how to entertain!! My only complaint of this ship was the main dining room was some of the worst I have ever had. We skipped dinner most nights and ate somewhere else instead. As far as the other food options they were all fantastic. Guys burgers were my favorite and there fries are heavenly[emoji7] overall I would cruise this ship again in a heartbeat we had a wonderful time on our cruise and sad to see it end[emoji29] We visited Nassau, Half moon Cay, and Grand Turk. Half moon cay was definitely the most beautiful island with crystal clear water and sand that felt like baby powder! We definitely had the most fun in GT and wish we had more time there. We only had from 11-5 and I wouldn't have minded being lost there[emoji854] what a beautiful little island and the locals are extremely friendly and accommodating. Not pushy at all like in Nassau. We rented golf carts from Omar and ended the day at the beach and margaritaville. Omar was the man he showed us around the island and we even hung out with him for a little and added each other on Facebook. What a great guy, can't wait to go back! I'll post some pictures from my trip below and hope all you future cruisers enjoy!!!

Same here, on the Sensation 2 weeks ago. Had alittle hesitation going on a Fantasy class ship. Had not been on one in about 10 years. But this cruise was more than wonderful and there was plenty to do, especially with many of the 2.0 upgrades.

What was your issue with the main dining room? The food or the service? Did you have YTD or assigned seating. Thanks for posting the pics! [emoji4] sailing in 91 days.

I wouldn't really say the service although our waiter did seem overwhelmed at times, the service was pretty decent. It was mostly the food. Just wasn't good... over cooked and cold all of our meals were cold. We only went twice then made other arrangements for the other 3 nights. We had the early seating @ 6.... it was a group of 8 of us. Enjoy your cruise!!

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting.

 

I'll be on that ship in August with the same itinerary:cool:

 

 

 

Which room did you book?

 

Please post the pix if you have. Thanks

 

 

 

Hi we booked 2 inside cabins 4 and 4. We had a king bed on the bottom with a bunk bed above and another bunk bed directly across. The room itself had a lot of space I was surprised. My last cruise was on royal and the rooms on carnival are definitely much bigger. We were satisfied with it to say the least and the beds were so comfy!! Enjoy your trip!

Thanks for this I have been very torn about doing a cruise on this ship for late Feb. my husband and I have only done the mega ships the last 2 times. Is the ship clean and refurbished? It would be my husband myself and a friend that has never cruised!

The ship was very clean and i constantly saw workers cleaning all day long as well. We were very happy with it but I also prefer the smaller ships so it's all about preference. If you do decide to go I'm sure you will have a great time!![emoji4]
