Onboard the Carnival Sensation

Costco Member Reviews

As you cruise toward idyllic islands, Carnival Sensation ensures that there’s serious fun all around you, all around the ship. For those who want to make a splash, there’s a resort-style pool and waterslide options galore. If you’re looking for places for the kids, there’s the age-appropriate and always-awesome Camp Carnival, Circle “C” and Club O2. If you’re looking for a place away from the kids, there’s the adult-only Serenity Retreat and Spa Carnival. And if you’re looking for something for the whole family to do together, check out Playlist Productions, featuring get-up-and-dance-worthy songs everybody knows, performed live on stage in ways you’ve never experienced before. Continue the family fun at Hasbro, the Game Show, which brings super-sized, family-favorite board games to life. And let’s not forget Seuss at Sea, featuring Dr. Seuss’s unforgettable characters. Whatever your pleasure, Carnival Sensation offers fun under the sun for everyone.
