Carnival Sensation, one of Carnival Cruise Lines' 70,000+-ton Fantasy Class ships, is a fantastic choice for those looking for a fun and affordable cruise vacation. This ship sails year-round from Port Canaveral, Florida (driving distance from Orlando) and exclusively does short (3- and 4-night) Bahamas cruises.

For instance, there are main dining rooms (where you can choose between their Assigned and Your Time, also known as open, Dining programs), the Seaview Bar & Grill (featuring a buffet, deli and pizzeria), a rotisserie, as well as 24-hour room service.
